Love, Wasabi, & Amnesia

In the heart of Kyoto's bustling Nishiki Market, two rival chefs battle for pride, tradition, and the coveted title of the city's best.
Ayumi, heir to her grandmother's beloved local eatery, believes in flavours steeped in history and heart.
Ren, the sleek, Paris-trained prodigy, is determined to reinvent Kyoto cuisine for a new generation. Their rivalry is as famous as it is fiery... until a rainy night accident leaves Ayumi believing Ren is her boyfriend.
Ren steps into the role, at first reluctantly, then with something dangerously close to his heart on the line.
Between invented "memories," meddling family, gossiping neighbors, and stolen moments under the cherry blossoms, the line between pretend and real begins to blur.
But in a city that never forgets a story, what happens when the truth finally spills?
Will they craft the perfect recipe for love... or will pride and the past keep them apart?
