Synopsis: Tsuruya has been bustling daily with regular customers due to the popularity of female chef Mio’s (Kuroki Haru) food. The samurai Komatsubara (Moriyama Mirai) and doctor Nagata Gensai (Nagayama Kento) also visit now and then. One day, Saho (Sato Megumi), who is the wife of a samurai, comes with a request for Mio to teach her cooking. According to Saho, she is so dreadfully bad at cooking that even her servants fled.
