Description

On March 11, 2021, Kiyoshi Onodera, the owner chef of an Italian restaurant overlooking the ocean on the Oshika Peninsula in Miyagi Prefecture, invites his friends to his restaurant to drink and party on a day when the disaster area is enveloped in a solemn atmosphere. As his friends wonder about his intentions, Kiyoshi begins to tell them about how he became a desperate alcoholic after losing his restaurant and friends in the Great East Japan Earthquake, and how he rebuilt his restaurant and became a chef in pursuit of the best taste.
