A cozy culinary mystery in which a man who was unfairly exiled finds a new purpose investigating crime through his knowledge of food, for fans of The Kamogawa Food Detectives.
Heo Gyun (huh gyoon) is a detective of a different flavour: a “gourmet detective.”
With an exceptional palate, he can taste a dish once and immediately reconstruct the recipe in his mind. He understands how flavours pair, the properties of ingredients, and how food interacts with the human body.
Exiled to the rural village of Hamyeol (Hamyol), accused of a crime he didn’t commit, he forms a close bond with the town’s most powerless. Broken down and reshaped through the lives of those not even considered full citizens, Heo Gyun refinds his purpose as a detective, solving mysteries around the dinner table.
Heo Gyun may be a man driven by an insatiable appetite, but someone who has mastered one world can often perceive truths in another. His deep knowledge of food allows him to see into the heart of people's lives.
Join him as he unravels mysteries – not with a knife or a sword, but with a spoon.
