After her husband passed away, Komako Fukuyoshi dedicated herself to running Fukuya, a long-established Kyoto confectionery shop that had been in her family for generations. While working tirelessly to sustain the business, she raised three daughters: Hina, the eldest and her planned successor; Arare, a stubborn college dropout who often fails to earn her mother's approval; and Hana, a tall middle school student who quietly observes the struggles of her mother and sisters. One pivotal day, Hina makes a choice that shakes her family and changes Fukuya's direction: she accepts a marriage proposal from Kaoru Hinomiya, a reserved bank clerk. Resenting how her mother has controlled her life for years, Hina uses the marriage to abandon the path laid out for her and seeks her own happiness. With Hina gone, Arare steps up to take over as her mother's successor, leaving behind her carefree lifestyle and working to lead Fukuya into the next generation. However, her heart belongs to Kenji Miyasako, a stoic kitchen confectioner who is struggling to understand his own feelings for her. Meanwhile, Hana grapples with a crush on her fellow student Tomo Iori. Together, the three sisters fight for Fukuya's success while seeking their mother's approval and confessing their love to those they hold dear.
