In the early 20th century, Kazuya transfers to a prestigious academy as part of an exchange program between Japan and Saubure, a small European country.

Yumeiro Pâtissière and Yakitate!! Japan are about innate talents relating to careers in professional baking But they're also about the joy in and about cooking, about bonds of friendship, the struggle to do one's best no matter what and having an ultimate driving goal. Yumeiro Pâtissière has more moe and sentimental moments. Yakitate!! Japan has more laugh out loud comedy and concrete villains.
Both include tournament style cook-offs (including tournaments in France). But both also make you want to eat something while you're watching, make you sigh at the heartfelt honesty and innocence (sometimes to the point of foolishness) of the protagonist characters and make you cheer, even if you thought you wouldn't cheer at what are essentially instructive cooking shows with a touch of soap opera.
