Ryotsu meets an old friend running a ramen stall who struggles with low revenue. After brainstorming solutions, Ryotsu spots a hot air balloon and devises a plan to operate a floating food vendor. The concept involves delivering ramen directly to customers through their apartment windows for maximum convenience. However, this innovative approach violates numerous regulations and permits. The duo must navigate the legal risks and potential interference from Ryotsu’s police colleagues to see if their unconventional enterprise can succeed without facing arrest or shutdown.
