Synopsis

Oishinbo places us in the role of Yamaoka Shiro as he brainstorms for the upcoming Tozai News VIP banquet. He meets a trio of gourmands visiting his publication, one of whom extols the culinary merits of foie gras. Shiro is dismissive due to his ugly appearance (not to mention animal cruelty), causing a heated argument between the two. Filled with rage, Shiro returns to his office to try to find a dish that will make the foie gras come out of the water.

This is where the game begins in earnest, and the most familiar feature of the ADV genre begins to rear its ugly head: busywork. The player must watch and interact with everything they possibly can if they want to make progress, often multiple times. The game's length is often ridiculous, like when Shiro can only visit his own cafeteria after reading a sign that informs him that it exists.
