Famous Japanese chef Obana (Takuya Kimura) opens a new restaurant in Paris in the quest for his elusive third Michelin star. But Obana finds life as an outsider in the city of lights very difficult, and even has trouble sourcing ingredients. His pride and ambition causes tension with his team, including his headstrong patissier Yuan (Ok Taecyeon), and loyal sous chef Rinko (Kyoka Suzuki). When his menu for a gala dinner proves a disaster, Obana promises his former mentor that if he doesn’t get three Michelin stars he will quit the restaurant and leave Paris. Can he pull it off?
