Story
Ken has decided to remain in the Sengoku era and live as Oda Nobunaga’s chef. He is taken along to the battle between the troops of Azai Nagamasa and Asakura Yoshikage. While the two armies are exhausted from the long-drawn battle, Nobunaga bypasses Nagamasa and proposes to make peace with Yoshikage. He orders Ken to make a suggestion for this purpose. Realising that it will soon be the New Year, Ken and Natsu set foot on the Asakuras stronghold of Mt Hiei as merchants, and treat his troops to the traditional zouni soup of their hometown, Echizen. The troops are reminded of the flavours of their hometown. Just as their morale is being worn down, Nagamasa is notified that they are coming down Mt Hiei. Guessing that this is another trick of Nobunaga’s chef, Ken, Nagamasa lets loose pursuers with the intention of capturing Ken. Ken is saved in the nick of time by Akechi Mitsuhide. But when he hears Mitsuhide say, “The people targeting the master’s life are not only enemies outside,” he feels uneasy. At that moment, the monk Kennyo and shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki are having a secret meeting at Ishiyama Hongan-ji. There is a mysterious beauty, Karen, who waits on Kennyo. Like Ken, she seems to be a patissier who has come from the same future … … In addition, Matsunaga Hisahide who carries a missive from Yoshiaki is with Takeda Shingen of Kofu.
