Taste is one of our most important and powerful senses. It allows us to indulge in food, especially sweets, which can brighten our day.
The Japanese drama Patisserie Coin de Rue taps into our craving for delicious treats.
Natsume (Yu Aoi), the daughter of a baker in Kagoshima, travels to Patisserie Coin de rue, a famous pastry shop in Tokyo, to see her boyfriend. Once she arrives, however, she learns he no longer works there.
Desperate to find him, Natsume takes up a job at the Coin de Rue under the guidance of owner and chef Yuriko (Keiko Toda).
Meanwhile, legendary pastry chef Tomura (Yosuke Eguchi) has retired. He now works as a lecturer and pastry critic.
He frequents Coin de Rue, where he is friends with Yuriko. Tomura is haunted by an incident that made him give up baking several years earlier.
