Childhood Friend's Hashed Beef and a New Rival

A shared community kitchen, Lighthouse Market. One evening, with the refrigeration broken down and only limited ingredients to work with, two cooks stand before you, a member of the staff. Shinohara Tsumugi (22), your childhood friend, offers a hashed beef dish—your old favorite—reworked to accommodate your allergies, while newcomer Kurogawa Ren (21) brings an improvised alternative, saying, "Even if it fails, let's try a brand-new flavor." The kindness of treasuring old memories, and the thrilling proposal of carving out the future. In the steam rising from the kitchen, passion for cooking and feelings of love intertwine in this cooking romance.
