Ichiro ran a Western confectionery shop (cake shop) in the shitamachi district of Tokyo, but... went bankrupt two years later. At that time, he had debts amounting to 20 million yen and was in trouble. He decided to beg his old man to pay off all the debts and to take over his old man's store 《Kitazawa》, aiming to eventually become the fourth generation. Ichiro returned home with his wife Ayaka.
