Megumi Iida

Megumi Iida is Kotori's mother and the driving force behind the restaurant bearing her name, all while maintaining her reputation as a well-known culinary researcher. Her frequent television appearances often leave the restaurant temporarily closed, inadvertently creating the perfect setting for Kotori and the Inuzuka duo to host their heartwarming cooking gatherings. Though she rarely appears on screen, her upbeat personality and playful nature shine through—and her thoughtfully crafted recipes and welcoming space make her an indispensable, behind-the-scenes cornerstone of the story.
