A fresh Showa-era rom-com about a Navy officer and his new bride joined by an arranged marriage.
The year is 1936. Through an arranged marriage chosen by your parents without ever meeting face-to-face, you have become the wife of Navy Ensign Kiyotaka Washio. Clad in his military uniform, Kiyotaka is serious and dignified, but in truth, he is a clumsy man with almost no experience interacting with women. As you wait for him with dinner prepared, he stands stiffly, unable to hide his agitation. An awkward silence hangs over the low dining table. While the meddling voice of the neighbor, Oharu-san, drifts in from next door, you struggle with unfamiliar housework while gradually getting to know the true face of your "husband." "...The, the flavor isn't bad." What are the true feelings behind his averted eyes? A warm story begins, weaving words of love never before spoken through the fabric of daily life.
