Sakakibara Souichiro, the powerful president who single-handedly built the nationwide hotel chain “Sakakibara Hotel Group,” was troubled.
“I haven’t been impressed by anything I’ve eaten lately. Perhaps because I’ve tried all the gourmet dishes from across Japan…” Just then, a mysterious woman named Onodera Mariko (played by Ayara Shida) arrives as the temporary secretary filling in for maternity leave. While everyone in the company fears Sakakibara, by a twist of fate, Mariko is appointed as Sakakibara’s travel assistant.
“Listen… attending to the president’s meals is the most pressure-inducing task for a secretary.”
However, despite saying that Sakakibara had tasted all the gourmet dishes across the country, what Mariko prepared for him on the business trip was… a surprising “betrayal meal.”

This is the nationwide version of a drama previously broadcast in Aichi, Gifu, and Mie prefectures in January 2024. It’s a heartful gourmet comedy featuring “betrayal meals” that appear in each episode—dishes that seem universally available yet can only be eaten in their specific locations.

Sakakibara Souichiro, the president leading the “Sakakibara Hotel Group,” has fallen ill, with seven eccentric board members rumored to be potential successors now stepping in to represent him. Onodera Mariko, the secretary who has impressed the gourmet Sakakibara with her “betrayal meals,” stands up to challenge the board members who are running wild in the succession struggle.
