Sweet Memories

Reina Maruyama has always had sweet memories of her hometown of Kyoto, Japan. But when her father dies and her mother relocates her to Tokyo, life for Reina is turned on its head. Longing for the home she lost, she struggles to adjust, until a fateful accident takes her back to Amai Omoide, her family’s traditional sweets shop in the heart of Kyoto. But Amai Omoide is more than just a business; it’s the Maruyama family’s legacy. When Reina’s uncle, the head sweet artisan, falls ill, it’s up to Reina to save the shop and preserve her family’s heritage. Yet there is more at stake than the shop’s future. When Reina’s childhood friend Hajime returns suddenly from France, she can’t help but feel an irresistible pull to the kind young man she’s known all her life. As Reina and Hajime’s relationship blossoms, dark secrets from both their pasts come knocking on the doors of Amai Omoide. To save the shop and each other, they must set aside their doubts and hold on to what has always mattered most: love and family.
