The "Mitsuba-dori Shopping Street" is laid-back but not very respectable. The snack shop next to the hardware store had been vacant for a long time. Until the small restaurant "Koedo" opened. Takemi, a former company employee, started "Koedo" on Mitsuba-dori because she admired the proprietress of a small restaurant in a detective drama. Next door...a hardware store owner whose day job is a sensual novelist. Next door...Yufuko, a lovesick ex-snack bar mama, and so on... A refreshing all-color ensemble drama of a shopping street, starring a cast of quirky but lovable people of the shopping arcade that will relax you.
