A Tale of Samurai Cooking: A True Love Story
Haru is an excellent cook with mastery skills in the kitchen. She was separated from her first husband because of her hasty character after staying married for only one year. One day, Dennai Funaki, the cook samurai in the Kaga Domain, offers her to marry his son. The Funaki Family, known as the "Kitchen Samurai," has served Kaga Domain with a "kitchen knife" instead of a "sword" for generations. But Haru's new husband, Yasunobu, is a terrible cook. Haru decides to teach her husband culinary arts in order to protect the name and reputation of the Funaki Family.
This story is inspired by a real family in Kaga Domain that has made countless major changes with its cuisine. The Kaga cuisine, which is served in Kutani porcelain and colorful lacquered cups, is famous for its wide variety and spectacular dishes. With its traditional dishes influenced by Chinese culture as well as ordinary folk dishes, Kaga cuisine is rivaled by Kyoto.
