Jan Akiyama, a cocky arrogant teenager wants to fulfill his grandfathers wish of defeating his arch nemesis Mutsuju Gobancho. When he arrives at the Gobancho restaurant he meets his granddaughter Kiriko Gobancho. Their rivalry is easily compared to Jan's and Kiriko's grandfathers, for Jan believes cooking is about competition and Kiriko believes cooking is about heart.

The verdict

Senpai’s take

Season picksMust watchSummer 2026

Two rival prodigies, Jan and Kiriko, heirs to Chinese food dynasties, under one kitchen roof after Jan's grandfather sets himself on fire over damaged taste buds. She cooks out of love, he cooks to crush. Directed by Ei Aoki (Fate/Zero) so every chop and flick of the pan hits like a Kamehameha, with no fanservice or bread puns needed. Adapts a classic 1995 manga and dares you to say it did not cook.
