The real challenge isn’t mastering sushi. It’s making it out alive.
For Akiko Ono, being accepted into the apprentice program at the House of Sakamoto—the most revered sushi restaurant in Kyoto—was her chance to honor her father’s legacy and prove her worth in a male-dominated field.
But from the moment she arrives, the program’s grueling challenges feel less like an apprenticeship and more like a test of survival. The competition is ruthless, the rules unforgiving, and the stakes higher than Akiko ever imagined. As tensions rise and her rivals fall, Akiko can’t shake the feeling that someone wants her out—permanently.
With everything she’s worked for on the line, Akiko must push her limits to survive a program designed to break even the strongest. In this high-stakes kitchen, failure isn’t just the end of her dream—it’s the end of her life.
