Eight years ago, Kaoru Miyagi was a struggling bartender with only a middle school education, until a kind benefactor took him under his wing and gave Miyagi a job at Tokyo’s classy “Tachibana” restaurant. Now, Miyagi manages the Tachibana, and his loyalty to the one who gave him his big career break might be growing into stronger feelings.

Unless…the impulsive chef has answers about Miyagi’s past that could point to a future beyond his wildest dreams!
