Plot
A sensual drama depicting the sad end of a fateful love story between a traumatized woman who is unable to love the opposite sex. Naomi Tani, who gained popularity as the "Queen of SM," teams up with director Kinya Ogawa, a big name in pink movies, to passionately portray the wavering love of a man-hating chef. Oku (Naomi Tani), who runs a sushi restaurant, is admired by many of the regulars for her bewitching appearance and skillful chef, but due to abuse from her late father, she has lost faith in men and is drowning in lust with Kazue. Oku witnesses Kazue having a relationship with a man, and is shocked when she meets the mysterious chef Shinkichi (Shohei Yamamoto).
