Synopsis
Ex-yakuza Genta Kouno rebuilds life after prison, finding solace in cooking until a hungry boy appears.
Genta Kouno is a former yakuza who was incarcerated in a prison after a certain incident. After serving a sentence of more than ten years, he is released, but the world has completely changed from the past. He was able to find a place to live and a job through the introductions of his probation officer, but he feels uncomfortable with the kindness shown to him by others and tries to become independent as soon as possible. However, it is not easy for a criminal with no family or friends to live a "normal" life... But even Kouno has one thing to look forward to. That is daily "meal time." He makes simple but special dishes with his limited money. While Kouno is living his life day by day, despite the difficulties of life, a hungry boy appears in front of him.
