Here in this unremarkable, sleepy neighborhood in Tokyo, a worn old establishment named "Restaurant Sakura" has been warming hearts and filling bellies for generations. Recently reopened, it's got a whole new crowd of clientele to serve. They're an odd bunch, sure, and they all seem to have their share of troubles... But hey, maybe after a few good, tasty meals, they'll open up and share their stories with you, both happy and sad. Everyone's got that one meal they just can't forget, after all, and a hungry heart needs filling just as much as a hungry belly does.

Above its weather-beaten door an old, faded sign reads: Restaurant Sakura Though long since out of vogue, here in Japan a "restaurant" is an eatery specializing in Western-style fusion food. Back before the era of flashy chain restaurants and snazzy bistros, the humble restaurant had its heyday. Now, well, Restaurant Sakura has seen better days. The taciturn old chef who ran this local fixture passed away the year before last. His kindly wife was about to close up shop for good when the couple's bright-eyed granddaughter stepped forward. With a heart full of determination, she swore to keep the place running and ensure her dear grandpa's recipes live on. Now, the pair are putting a new coat of paint on the place and getting ready for a grand reopening. Let's take a peek inside, and see how they're doing. While we're at it, maybe we should lend a hand. They sure look like they could use the help! ---------------------------------- So, let me guess.
