The young girl inherited the restaurant from her grandfather, who had doted on her throughout her life. He had always wished for Honoka to take on his restaurant should he pass on. Due to an unfortunate sudden death, Honoka was given the responsibility of continuing his legacy. She recruited her college friend to work with her.

Their beauty may be one of the reasons that many flock to the place, but their dedication is the main draw. Honoka spent a long time trying to recreate her grandfather’s dishes, despite never having learnt how to cook in her life.
