Gourmet chef Manako Kajii is in Tokyo Detention, accused of serially murdering several lonely businessmen, whom she apparently seduced with her delicious traditional cuisine. The case captivates the entire nation, but Kajii refuses to give any statements. At least until journalist Rika Machida writes her a letter asking for the recipe for her famous beef stew. Kajii can't resist replying. Rika, the only woman in her office, works late every night and rarely cooks anything other than ramen. As the conversations between her and the unyielding Kajii unfold, they increasingly resemble a cooking masterclass rather than a journalistic investigation. Rika hopes this culinary exchange will help soften Kajii, but perhaps it's she who is changing... Do they have more in common than either of them ever imagined?
