About
I'm a beginner, so please let me know if you have any concerns. [Synopsis] A restaurant tucked away in a corner of a seaside residential area. It's a delivery-only establishment called "Prince Shotoku's Restaurant" where customers never visit in person. The head chef is Hijiri Tokui, a genius with extraordinary culinary skills despite his youth. Like the legend of Prince Shotoku, who was said to understand and provide perfect answers to ten people speaking at once, Hijiri brilliantly handles orders for every kind of cuisine from around the world—Japanese, Western, Chinese, junk food, and sweets—all by himself. This gourmet story follows Haruto Mikami, a young man who starts working at the restaurant as an apprentice, along with a cast of unique delivery drivers and the owner, Ryusuke Fukumitsu, as they solve the various troubles and worries of the people they encounter through food.
