Fuji TV's Sunday lunchtime show, "Uchi Kuru!" ("Home Visit"), is the king of peripatetic eating programs. Hosts Shoko Nakagawa and Hideyuki Nakayama accompany the week's celebrity guest on a tour of eateries and watering holes from his or her past, dredging up memories while consuming to excess.
This week's two-hour prime-time special (Tues., 7 p.m.) features actor Masahiro Takashima, who during the various chow-downs discusses his famous first family of showbiz, including brother and recent object of scandal Masanobu, as well as mother Hanayo Sumi. Since a regular component of the show is a surprise visit from the guest's past, we are assured that one if not both of these loved ones will appear out of nowhere.
The second half of the special features kabuki scion Ichikawa Ebizo, who will tour the sushi shops of Ginza and talk about his late father, Danjuro.
