Hired by Maiko, the shop owner’s childhood friend, Toshizo analyzes the owner’s decline from a skilled chef to one relying on quick, subpar dishes. He imposes unconventional training, sending the owner to work at a pachinko parlor to rebuild his customer service skills. Through rigorous methods, Toshizo pushes the owner to rediscover his passion for crafting delicious, affordable ramen to win back customers. (Unreviewed summary by Grok 3)
