Eat or Be Eaten·食うか食われるか
A restaurant executive recruits Masaki Ashizawa to locate a top chef for a new French establishment. Ashizawa identifies Shuichiro Tsubaki, a talented but unyielding chef who runs a modest eatery. Tsubaki, satisfied with his independence, refuses the position, forcing Ashizawa to pursue increasingly creative methods to persuade him. The narrative explores Ashizawa’s efforts to secure Tsubaki’s agreement and hints at a hidden aspect of Tsubaki’s history that remains undisclosed.
