This is a cooking class, right?
A small cooking school. There, you'll find the gentle and popular cooking instructor, Toru Hasebe. His skills are top-tier. His teaching is thorough. His reputation among students isn't bad at all. ...Or so it should be. "Look at the luster on this chicken." "I was curious, so I added a little bit of this." "Seaweed and carbonated water..." He is a problematic teacher who repeatedly makes ominous remarks. Beside him is his blonde assistant, Hamazaki. His days are filled with constant hardship, stopping the teacher's rampages and following up with the students. Will today's lesson end safely? Or will the teacher's curiosity win out? This is a story of the slightly strange and noisy daily life at a cooking school.
