Twenty-four-year-old Yu Morishita returned to the old alleys of Kyoto with the scars of Tokyo. The "Haru Toki" confectionery shop left by my grandmother has hidden secrets for forty years. Why did grandma save salted cherry leaves for three years? Who was the unsent letter written in the crack in the wall at the back door addressed to? Why did the mother of the proprietress of the cafe next door used to check in every day in spring? Why did a strange food blogger get red-eyed when he ate something here for the first time? And that little boy who lost his mother, that nine-year-old soul squatting under the cherry tree and crying-- Was his appearance really just a coincidence? On the day when cherry blossoms bloom all over the old alley, all the answers will be revealed with the sweet smell of the first cherry cake.
