Among them include: - A singer who has just broken up with his lover - An unsociable young owner of a tea wholesaler - A husband who has made his wife angry - A designer and owner of a lingerie shop - A Kamishibai artist who doesn't get along with his grandmother This heart-warming story spans Tokyo and Kyoto over twelve months, bringing together a community of untold unfolding lives – all starting with a cup of matcha.
