Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman (さぼリーマン甘太朗, Saboriman Kantarou) is a comedy-drama television series co-produced by Netflix and TV Tokyo. The plot revolves around Ametani Kantarou, played by Onoe Matsuya, a salaryman who works at a publishing house. His colleagues perceive him as a fast and efficient worker that everyone can trust, but in reality he slacks off from work to eat sweets. Its first season has twelve 24-minutes episodes and was released by TV Tokyo between 13 July and 29 September 2017, and by Netflix on 7 July 2017.
The series is based on the manga series Saboriman Ametani Kantarou written by Tensei Hagiwara and illustrated by Inoue ABD.
Although the story is fictional, the show features real locations and dessert hotspots in Tokyo. Each episode is centered on a typical Japanese dessert such as anmitsu, kakigōri, or mitsumame, or a Japanese interpretation of a foreign dish such as parfait, eclair, pancake or matcha bavarois.
