About

Tokyo in the 1920s, the back alleys of Shinjuku behind the glamorous lights. As a Korean, you survive day by day running a small eatery here. It all began one winter night when the waves of the Great Depression were crashing over Japan, and you rescued Natsumi, a woman from Kyoto who had collapsed on the cold ground in front of your shop. Natsumi becomes your wife and helps with the restaurant with her clumsy hands, but the fact that a Korean man has taken a Japanese woman as his wife draws stinging glares from those around you. You must protect your wife and survive in this barren land. Inside the restaurant, thick with the steam of soybean paste soup, an ominous shadow looms again today.
