Story
In Honolulu, Hawaii in 2013, Sawano Nami oversleeps on the first day of the opening of her shop and has to run desperately to get there in time. Back in 2009, in Chigasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, Nami’s father Kenta, her childhood friend Mitsuyama Ryosuke and others are gathered at their house talking animatedly about surfing. Nami has been planning a high school graduation trip to her dream destination, Rome, with her good friends Morino Mana and Wada Mizuho. But she feels in low spirits after the two of them broach the topic of going to Hawaii instead. Although her father runs a surf shop and her father’s friends as well as Ryosuke are always at home, she feels out of her element in the sea. Noticing her mood, Kenta makes pancakes topped with a generous amount of fresh cream in an attempt to cheer her up. He would always prepare it when he sees her looking down. In Hawaii, Nami meets Ezaki Takuma. The two of them hit it off and she even feels her heart pound. They communicate even after she returns to Japan but lose contact following the discovery of her father’s illness when she becomes a university student. Nami makes her father’s special, world’s most delicious pancakes for her father for the first time. Kenta passes away not long after eating them. Then some incident spurs Nami to travel to Hawaii to meet Takuma. When they meet again, he takes her to his favourite shop. The taste of the pancakes she eats at this place is just like her father’s pancakes. For some unknown reason, Nami is filled with the desire for many people to enjoy this “taste of bliss”. And so, she asks the couple who own the shop to let her take over the business. Although Nami knows that there will be a difficult road ahead, she has found the first dream in life which she wants to make a reality and works on fulfilling it. This is how she brings the popular pancake restaurant Eggs n’ Things to Japan, which sparks a pancake boom in the country. Despite suffering difficulties and setbacks, Nami fulfils her dream, motivated by thoughts of her father as well as the support of family and friends.
