Synopsis - This drama is originally from a comic book, so the storyline is pretty simple and fun to watch. It is about a young chef training in a classic Japanese restaurant (ryoutei) in Tokyo. Nakai-kun played the role of the young chef, Ihashi Satoru, an over confindent guy who is hot-temptered and always get into an argument or fight. However he is popular among the waitresses because of his good looks. This makes his work more bearable. Although, he is rashing and always aruguing with the master chef, Kumano Shinkichi, but he won't let anyone speak badly about his master chef. In part II, is about he went to Kyoto for training. He is sent to Kyoto to learn, and study Kyoto style cooking from his oyakata's (Kobayashi) elder 'cooking' brother. He arrives in Kyoto and tries to show off his 'Tokyo' style which doesn't please the four working cooking staff there. After work, Ihashi overhead the Kyoto chefs bad-mouthing Kumano and he couldn't take it anymore and ended up in a fight with the other chefs. In the second part, Katori Shingo (SMAP) appears as a special guest star. But, he acted as Nakai's enemy! Furthermore, Nakai had to study for several months under a master chef to prepare for his role as Ihashi, the cook! Cool, isn't, Nakai-kun!
