[edit] History
It started out in April of 2001 as Johnny's late-night show where boys were sitting in the studio in their pajamas discussing various topics, or going around the city visiting places, or having half-naked competitions.
However, on January 17 of 2004 program underwent a renewal and was changed to the gourmet show. At the same time it was moved to the current spot on Saturday, 5 pm.
[edit] Show
Main theme for the show is food, but unlike many food shows on Japanese TV the only time cooking comes into the view is the end segment when one recipe is shown. The rest of the time Seven Sages with two guests visit restoraunts and small cafes, tasting food and recommending places to the viewers.
Every food they taste is given a price tag and every place is shown on the map. All the places visited in the episode are listed in the end of the show, complete with addresses and phone numbers, and then added to the list on the site, along with featured recipe.
