Hot Lunch is a heist story set in an anthropomorphic Japan. An organisation called the Circle of Flavour rules the restaurant trade for their own clandestine ends. To most, they exist to ensure the high standard of locations and food across the nation.
But beneath the surface they exist to protect their own power and profit. Taishi's late father, Hiro Yoshida, was a founding member of the Circle and his son now wants to follow in his footsteps and become a renowned chef. But Circle leadership have other ideas...
Lead by Caesar Ito, the Circle of Flavour frame Taishi for a crime to keep him away from the organisation and the truth. This exile forces Taishi down a different path, one that will see him recruit a ragtag crew of thieves and lead them on a journey to take down the Circle of Flavour and free Japan from their grip while protecting those close to him.
