Summary:

Small-town boy Shikada Kokonotsu (Abe Atsushi) has a natural talent for creating sweets, something his father, sweets shop owner Shikada You (Fujiwara Keiji), recognizes in him. Although Kokonotsu is egged on by his father to take over the family business, he's more interested in becoming a mangaka. These plans are hampered with the arrival of big-city girl Shidare Hotaru (Taketatsu Ayana), who hopes to enlist Shikada's father into her own family's sweets making company. The father's catch: she first must convince Shikada to take over his own family's business. Along with family friends Endou Saya (Numakura Manami) and Endou Tou (Suzuki Tatsuhisa), Shikada and Shidare, a world of sweets, and their creation are waiting to be explored. It is where even the most rural candy shop can produce some wonderful desserts.

Own opinion:

DAGASHI KASHI!! I have waited for this to be adapted to be an anime for so many years. I have read the manga a long time ago and I'm not scared that the adaptation will ruin the uniqueness of this anime. Why? Because its Studio feel.! . The art has translated well from the manga thanks to studio feel's efforts, and looks to be shaping up to be one of their better adaptations in recent times. The show itself is heavily reliant on episodic humor, using the concept of a specific candy to drive the current episode. Viewers who are looking for a light comedy focused on a specific part of Japanese culture, you've got your winner.
