Paris, 2014. The call from Michelin rings through the renowned French restaurant Escopille, sending waves of anxiety through its owner-chef, Natsuki Obana. As he braces for the results, he gives his trusted waiter Kyono Rikutaro an impossible mission: “Bring me a pastry chef worthy of three Michelin stars—immediately.” With no time to lose, Kyono sets off through the bustling streets of Paris in search of a prodigy. Along the way, he reunites with Ichika, the very woman who once inspired him to study culinary arts in France. Rekindling both nostalgia and ambition, Kyono finds himself reawakened to the passion for cooking he had long set aside. Soon, his journey leads him to a brilliant young pâtissier—Yuan—whose talent may be the missing piece to Natsuki’s dream. As the destinies of these three intertwine in the competitive and romantic heart of French cuisine, their story unfolds with tension, taste, and transformation.
