Synopsis "Mantequilla (in Spanish)"

La chef gourmet Manako Kajii se encuentra en el Centro de Detención de Tokio, acusada de haber asesinado en serie a unos cuantos empresarios solitarios, a quienes, al parecer, había seducido con su deliciosa comida tradicional. El caso cautiva a todo el país, pero Kajii se niega a dar declaraciones. Al menos hasta que la periodista Rika Machida le escribe una carta pidiéndole la receta de su estofado de carne. Kajii no puede resistirse a responder. Rika, la única mujer de su oficina, trabaja hasta tarde cada noche y rara vez se cocina nada que no sea un ramen. A medida que se suceden las conversaciones entre ella y la inflexible Kajii, estas se van pareciendo más y más a una clase magistral de cocina en lugar de a una investigación periodística.
