No matter what, we confronted life head on and lived life to the fullest.
The story takes place in 1970, the year of the Osaka's Expo '70, during the great economic boom in Japan.
Yakiniku Dragon is a small family-run BBQ restaurant on the outskirts of the Kansai area. The family of six consists of the patriarch Ryukichi, his wife Yong-Sun, his three daughters Shizuka, Rika and Mika, and his youngest son, Tokio. Ryukichi is a veteran who lost his left arm and his homeland in the war. He can never forget his painful past,but lives by his credo, “No matter what yesterday was like, tomorrow will be a better day.”
The restaurant is always bustling with boisterous “regulars” including Shizuka’s childhood friend Tetsuo. Every day is filled with laughter and tears. But even the powerful bonds holding “Yakiniku Dragon” together would be tested by the tides of change.
