However it will be exclusively pre-distributed tonight, June 29, 2022, at 9pm on Japan’s online video service, Paravi. This new series is based on the manga of the same name by Tsubaki Yuzu 椿ゆず.

Came across this video of making the savoury Spring Onion (Scallion) Pancakes from Taiwanese food writer/instructor, 蔡季芳 (阿芳老師). The episode was from the Taiwanese cooking show, 料理美食王, in 2016.
