Graduation Ceremony in Paris

After completing his training in Paris and returning to Japan, Atsuzo (Sato Takeru) served soup to Shutaro (Suzuki Ryohei) at his family home before heading to the Imperial Household Agency.

Atsuzo (Sato Takeru), working as a cook in the imperial kitchen, decides to reconcile with Toshiko (Kuroki Haru).

After the earthquake, the Imperial Household Agency's kitchen faced a labor shortage, leaving Atsuzo (Sato Takeru) overwhelmed with work. Amidst this, news arrives that Shintaro (Kiritani Kenta), who had returned from Paris, broke into the Imperial Palace and was detained. Atsuzo rushes to the scene. Later, Shintaro ends up crashing at Banzai-ken.

Atsuzo (Sato Takeru), tasked with preparing the banquet menu for an event attended by the Emperor of Manchukuo, strives to create the finest hospitality possible. However, the guests repeatedly commit acts that wound the chef's pride. Later, as the war forces rationing of civilian food supplies, obtaining ingredients becomes extremely difficult, causing Atsuzo great distress. After the war ends, Atsuzo unexpectedly lands a job making sandwiches for the GHQ.
