Synopsis: Akiyama Atsuzo (Sato Takeru) was a countryside youth and a hopeless son who could not keep at what he did for long. In an unexpected turn of events, a cutlet that he ate, motivates him to have the impossible dream of becoming a chef of Western cuisine. In order to achieve this dream, Akiyama goes to Tokyo to get a fresh start. He has to face numerous challenges which fuel his growth. He travels to Paris in France for training, which is rare for a Japanese in those times. Battling discrimination and prejudice, he becomes the chef of the grand Hotel Ritz, and eventually takes charge of the Emperor’s kitchen as the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department at the young age of 26. In the chaotic aftermath of World War II, he struggles to find out what he can do for his country and mounts diplomacy with food.
