Usually, the restaurants serve unique dishes to make them stand out from the competition. Many small Japanese businesses are helped through celebrity endorsements on shows like this, so the show is a good way to promote new local places to eat that may be otherwise unknown.
Although these are in Japanese, it might be interesting to watch them anyway as it would be easier to find the locations of the restaurants if you are ever in Tokyo and they also show what all the dishes served on the show look like. To watch it, please click here for part 1 and here for part 2. If you would like to watch it, it is in two parts on YouTube. One of my favourite shows of theirs is the ‘Foodie Report’ show where the members of the group compete with each other for the title of the best reviewer of unusual restaurants in Tokyo. The group (formed of 5 members) present different shows, including pranks, talk shows, cooking and tasting contests and batsu games. The show ‘Gaki no Tsukai Ya Arahende!’ TV show and comedian act Downtown is very well known throughout Japan for their improvised group comedy and daring shows.
