The story of the manga is briefly as follows: A red-haired elf living deep in the forest runs a appetizer shop that heals tired souls using her cooking ability. Each dish, like magic, lifts people's spirits. While offering a food culture blended with fantastical elements, the series also emphasizes the great impact of small happiness.
