Synopsis

Brilliant chef Jan Akiyama competes with Kiriko Gobanchou at a top restaurant, clashing over cooking philosophy: competition versus customer satisfaction.

The original Iron Wok Jan! manga centers on a brilliant young chef named Jan Akiyama, who works at a top class restaurant where he is constantly challenging Kiriko Gobanchou, the granddaughter of the restaurant's owner and a great chef in her own right. While Kiriko believes that food should be made with the customer in mind, Jan believes that cooking should be used for competition. (Source: ANN)
