"Roccabianca" is a very popular Italian restaurant. Its manager and chef Hideo Tatsumi (played by Tsuyoshi Kazama) is well-known in the culinary world, but one day he suddenly collapsed due to cerebral hemorrhage. Sous chef Kosuke Imai (played by Yutaka Matsushige) and others worked hard to protect the traditional taste, but because of his lack of leadership, the staff were unwilling to fight. A month later, the restaurant began to have vacancies and fell into crisis. In order to save the popularity of the restaurant, the manager's daughter Saori Tatsumi (played by Kana Kurashina), who was a business owner in the restaurant opened by her father's Italian master, asked Ezaki Kyu (played by Yosuke Eguchi) to be the new chef. Although he has extraordinary skills, he doesn't like to communicate with people and has a poisonous tongue. He doesn't care about love or tradition for cooking. He is an ultimate rationalist who puts taste first. Therefore, he is always entangled with the restaurant staff who have their own troubles...
