27-year-old Usui Sachi’s life is a run of bad luck just as her name suggests. She is often busy with miscellaneous tasks at the events company where she works as an office lady, such that it has become a habit for her to live on convenience store meals every day. On this very morning, Sachi is walking while eating on her way to work, when she falls down. To her shock, a guy nearby laughs at her. That night, Sachi finally finishes working overtime and drops by the convenience store for beer and snacks. When she is about to leave, she collides into someone at the store’s exit and drops what she had purchased. The person is Karamaru Atsushi, the same young man who had laughed at her this morning. He brings Sachi to a temple to give her a treat to express his apology. Karamaru is training to take over the running of the temple. Sachi encounters the chief priest Gendo who makes miso soup with eggplant for her. University student Ogi Takenori who has come to learn cooking explains what shojin cuisine is. As Sachi eats the food, she is taught the importance of eating proper meals. After that, she tries to cook at home for the first time in a long while. In the process, she gradually starts to feel slight positive changes in her daily life. |
