Yoshito matured with his mother Yasue after his daddy died. His mommy ran a yakiniku (smoked meat) dining establishment that his papa had left behind. Yoshito delighted in eating his mother's food preparation and also their restaurant was enjoyed by many individuals. Things changed after popular food doubter Furuyama Tatsuya released false declarations about their yakiniku dining establishment. Because of that, their dining establishment saw a sharp decrease in clients. Yasue strove to recover service for the dining establishment. Because of Yoshito's behavior in wanting focus from his mama, Yasue decided to shut down the restaurant. 18 years later on, Yoshito lives alone and he works as a freelance author. Someday, he takes work for a new online food lover site. He works with editor Takenaka Shizuka. Their very first task involves yakiniku. Around that time, Yoshito hears that his estranged mommy Yasue has actually broken down.
