Lu Wen is a retired detective who loves food in Hong Kong, China. Occasionally, he received an invitation to go to Yokohama, Japan to participate in a celebrity chef's cooking banquet, but he was caught in a murder situation. After arriving in Yokohama, Lu Wen continued to have food homicides, and all of them revolved around the big case he failed to solve three years ago.
