Lunchtime at the Taxi Company Canteen

We visit the canteen of a taxi company in Tokyo to meet Hiroko Kawano. She's 77 years old but younger than ever, continuing her 34-year stint as the chef there. She acts as a mother figure for the taxi drivers, praying for their safety and cooking meals for 50 people. We then visit Niigata Prefecture, the largest producer of knitwear in Japan. Take a peek into the secret techniques behind the clothing made here, and relish the tasty lunches that people bring to the factory.
