| In 1802, 8-year-old Mio lost her parents in a river flood in Osaka and feels all alone after she is also separated from her childhood friend Noe. She is saved by Yoshi (Yasuda Narumi), the proprietress of �eTenman Icchoan�f, one of Osaka�fs famous restaurants, whom she happened to meet. Mio begins training as a cook because of her gift for taste in a time when females were still banned from the kitchen. However, the restaurant was burnt down in a fire and she sets off for Edo with Yoshi and her husband Kahei (Kunihiro Tomiyuki). By some lucky coincidence, they are invited by Taneichi (Kohinata Fumiyo), the owner of �eTsurya�f, to work at his soba shop. Mio (Kuroki Haru) is bewildered by the contrasting flavours between the Kansai region and Edo, and also has to deal with the obstructions of a rival shop and status difference in her love with the samurai Komatsubara (Moriyama Mirai). She overcomes these difficulties and eventually becomes a top female cook. |
