Based on two autobiographical novels by Jun Nishimura, "Antarctic Chef" centers around a research expedition living in Dome Fuji Station near the South Pole.

A cook named Nishimura (Masato Sakai) leaves his family behind in order to assist the expedition. Out in the middle of nowhere, Nishimura manages to cook extravagant meals consisting of high-class ingredients like foie gras, spiny lobster, and Matsuzaka beef in this true story of wintering party male bonding.
