Kazuma finished university without finding work. His sister calls him over to Paris to help her, and by a fluke he ends up minding the mushrooms at Le Comte Bleu, a restaurant with three stars. One day the owner sends him to buy marco, a Japanese mushroom that goes into the house's best-known dish and is served nowhere else in Paris. With only a few faint leads, Kazuma heads back to Japan to hunt for it.
