Bake Off Japan

TV series · 61m per ep

Starring Toshihiko Yoroizuka, Yoshimi Ishikawa, Maki Sakai, Asuka Kudo

10 amateur bakers from Japan compete in three challenges per episode, baking sweets, pastries, cakes, and bread according to a theme or to the instructions of the two judges, who are themselves professional bakers. Every episode ends with the announcement of a Star Baker, the baker who performed exceptionally well that episode, and with an unfortunate (and usually tear-filled) elimination. At the end of the show, one very talented home baker is declared the winner.
