Just one year after opening, Hayami Rinko became the first Asian woman to be the chef of a three-star restaurant, but shortly after, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the food and beverage industry hard. “Grand Maison Tokyo” was no exception, and in order to survive, the restaurant entered into a capital alliance with a food consulting company under a major corporation and found a way forward with frozen foods for mail order and recipe sites. However, Rinko seemed to have forgotten her pure passion for cooking, only thinking about keeping her restaurant running. Due to the food only looking good, Grand Maison Tokyo lost all of its Michelin stars.
Meanwhile, Obana Natsuki, who was supposed to have gone to Paris, has disappeared and is no longer in contact with
her. Rinko feels responsible for the decision to enter into a capital alliance to maintain “Grand Maison Tokyo”. While working on a job that she is forced to accept due to contractual obligations, which is far from being a “chef”, Rinko and Kuzumi Kanna visit “Meilleur Kyoto”, a French restaurant that only accepts one group per day and is rumored to be nominated for this year’s top restaurant in the world despite having only just opened. As they dine on the course meal, Rinko becomes convinced that Obana is at the restaurant.
What is the purpose of Obana, who has been out of contact and is in Japan? Will “Grand Maison Tokyo”, which has lost all of its stars, be able to rise again?
