Kokosei Restaurant(2011)

Kokosei Restaurant is a Japanese series following Muraki Shingo, a skilled chef turned high school culinary instructor. Though he excels in the kitchen, teaching is entirely new territory for him. Tasked with launching a student-run restaurant at a local high school, Muraki mentors directionless teenagers through hands-on cooking lessons and real-world restaurant operations. As he guides these unmotivated students toward their potential, both teacher and pupils discover purpose and growth together. The series blends workplace drama with coming-of-age themes, capturing how food and ambition can transform lives in unexpected ways.
