CAFE ISOBE is a Japanese comedy about Yujiro, a dim-witted tradesman, who, after inheriting a small fortune, quits his job and imprudently decides to open his very own cafe. His teenage daughter Sakiko, who has been caring for the poor schlub since her mother split, is mortified by the idea of her clueless dad running a trendy cafe. As expected, the cafe's grand opening is dismal and Yujiro can't understand why business isn’t booming. Things turn around the day he hires (and instantly falls in love with) an alluring but air headed part-time worker named Motoko. Could a new romance be the key to Cafe Isobe's success? Perhaps, but this strange state of affairs worries Sakiko, who has no choice but to keep dear dad out of trouble! --Jason Soeda
