A small storehouse at Kouuncho, a town in northern Kanto, sells
Japanese-style tableware and cofee beans. Customers who love the range
of products and the shop owner, 76-year-old Sugiura Sou (Fuji Sumiko),
crowd the shop as always. The coffee tasting corner is popular. Many
customers’ lives have been changed by a heart-melting cup of coffee
which is served at the shop. But even Sou herself has her own scars that
can never be healed. At one time, a suspicious-looking man who had been
lurking around the shop approaches a regular customer, Terada
(Yoshizawa Hisashi). He is Otake (Songha), a former classmate and
baseball club buddy, who absconded with a large sum of money borrowed
from the people around him 15 years ago, and was labelled a bad guy.
Otake has come to return money to Terada. At first, Terada rejects Otake
who betrayed his friends, and is suspicious of the source of money when
he hears that Otake had been questioned by the police in connection
with a robbery that resulted in injuries. However, he starts to realise
that Otake had a compelling reason and did not borrow the money for
himself because of Sou. An enigmatic customer, Matsui (Hashizume Isao),
who has been lingering around the shop’s coffee tasting corner recently,
is involved in another mystery. He is somehow well-informed of all
sorts of information regarding the town.
