In the early Showa era, the town of Choshi in Chiba Prefecture was divided by the conflicts between the realms of "land" and "sea". Born to Kyubei Bando, the owner of a long-established soy sauce brewery, and his mistress Rui, Kaworu was taken in by her father and raised as a proper lady. As she matured, she fell in love with Sokichi, the eldest son of a well-established fisherman; alas, their families were in conflict. This is a story of pure love between two individuals that transcended the boundaries of the old customs they were raised with. It is a drama that portrays their tumultuous journey of love and the ties of the people from an old and established family working tirelessly to protect their naturally brewed soy sauce business through the highs and lows.
