Canned mackerel, flying into the universe

This drama is adapted from the true story of a student from Fukui Prefecture Fisheries High School who challenged to develop "cosmic food". It tells the youth story of a group of high school students who embarked on the road to pursue their dreams because of the question "Maybe they can make cosmic food?" The new teacher Asano Junichi (played by Takumi Kitamura) takes office with ideals in mind, but he learns that the school is facing a crisis of abolition. In the process of jointly developing canned mackerel with students and striving for the certification of Japanese food in the world, they encountered many setbacks but never gave up. Finally, this dream passed down across generations was recognized, and the canned mackerel was certified and sent to the International Space Station. The story warmly depicts the friendship between teachers and students, local support and the courage to pursue dreams, and shows how faith and persistence can light up the future.
