Yuu-chan
waaaii
Oh, my god!
Help!
This young girl is our heroin, Sakurako Arimori. (Sakurako Arimori)
This is Okazaki city, Aichi prefecture. This is the town Sakurako was born.
Okazaki is famous for the castle where Ieyasu Tokugawas was born.
From this castle to the west about 900 m is where Hachoo miso famous for its original flavor has been produced.
Castle town Okazaki is located by the beautiful Yahagi and Sugou river.
became known as one of post stations of Tokaidou 53 tsugi (Traditional route between Tokyo and Kyoto)
Winter, 1928. The town was very lively.
This story is about 80 years ago, it starts from an early Showa era (1926-1989) in Okazaki.
Arimori
This is Sakurako’s father, Genichiro Arimori.
When he was young, he was doing research in geology at Teikoku University (now Tokyo university),
but now returned to his hometown Okazai and works as a contract employee
at Civil engineering department in the city hall.
As a matter of fact, this is me, Masa Arimori.
I was born in Okazaki as well, but once upon a time,
I virtually eloped with Genichiro to Tokyo and worked as an elementary school teacher.
Wait!
What are you doing?
Yu-chan, got you!
Ouch, You DID it! Hey!
The eldest daughter, Fueko and the youngest son, Yuutaro.
You too!
The second daughter, Momoko is very quiet.
And this naughty one is the third daughter, Sakurako. (Sakurako)
I wanted to stay with these kids longer, but there was a call from heaven.
I have no choice.
This is my father, Tokujiro Okita. (Tokujiro Okita)
You little coward!
Hey! Hey! No fighting! No fighting!
But sister was….
Yuutaro, men never say excuses.
Sakurako, you are so un-female like and have no manner.
Do you know what today is? Fueko?
No, sir.
This is the preparation day for miso today. Tokujiro, I’ll take you there this year.
nay……….. Grandpa, I will come along!
nay…..
Father, you are here. You are listening to this rubbish again. Stop it!
Wild cherry blossoms………. Knowing to die soon….. This is Naramaru Yoshida.
Sing it!
Wild cherry…… no, no Wild cherry blossoms………. You!
Wild cherry…… no, no, that’s enough…….
This is the preparation day for miso today. I am taking Yuutaro to Yamachou.
To Yamacho? Are you going to make Yuutaro miso craftsman?
Miso craftsman? Don’t say things from high horse since you have a degree! You think civil servant is much higher than miso craftsman!?
if there is no city hall, there is nothing to worry about tomorrow’s meal, but without miso you can’t have a nice meal!
Of course you're right. I meant no offense. Your idiotic behavior……..
I hate that! I shouldn’t have given my daughter to someone like you………. See you later.
Sakurako
Tokujiro is a miso craftsman from long establish proucder, Yamachou. He is retired now,
but when the busy preparation time comes, he is always asked to be in charge.
need little more salt. Yes, sir. (Tokujiro) Yuutaro, climb up there and take a look at inside.
Listen, this Hachou miso was consumed as a local war food during the Warring States period.
More than 600 years…. Grandpa!
Let me have a look as well. No, this is only for men. Step back!
Yes, sir....
Good job!
Yes, Sakurako loved piano more than anything at that time. She always carried a paper keyboard with her.
She remembers me, her mother played the piano for her when she was little.
The real piano!
Good, let’s stop it there today. Next week, we will try this. yes, mam.

She scolded me………..
Miso barrel, woman…… I’d imagine they are angry, because miso was ruined
The child life is far more important........
Kene Matsui from Yamacho, yak! She was known to be so stingy.
