The Storyline and Characters

The narrative centers on Hase Taiga, a once-promising university athlete whose career faced stagnation due to underperformance in the workplace. Now working part-time at a charming restaurant called Tanomi, Taiga gradually rediscovers his passion as he experiments with new dishes for the menu. In contrast, Park Rin is a Korean graduate student immersed in her animation studies. Plagued by the stress of academic pressures, she faces the daunting task of finding housing in Japan after receiving a notice of withdrawal from her student dormitory.

The Meeting of Two Worlds

Fate brings Taiga and Rin together at Tanomi, where a simple dish of rice balls serves as a catalyst for their connection. As Rin indulges in the comfort food, she finds respite from her overwhelming fatigue, while Taiga is instantly drawn to her radiant smile. This encounter marks the beginning of an emotional journey, celebrating the themes of perseverance, passion, and the intertwining of two distinct cultures.

The drama airs every Monday at 23:06 on TV Tokyo and various other stations, further enriching the landscape of contemporary storytelling.
