Plot

20-year-old Michiru arrives in Tokyo where she will start a new job and big-city lifestyle, moving into Stella House Haruno, a women-only share house. The three other young women there — Kae, Makoto and Nao — welcome her warmly, and as they live their lives they experience a variety of Japanese alcoholic drinks, one featured per episode.

Characters

  • Michiru Amatsuki (天月 みちる)
  • A woman who moves from the smaller city of Okayama to experience the fashionable Tokyo lifestyle. She is always cheerful, eager to learn and work. She is still discovering alcohol.
  • Nao Kiriyama (桐山 直)
  • A clothing store employee and Makoto's older sister. She is carefree, eager to party, and often drinks to excess.
  • Kae Midorikawa (緑川 香枝)
  • A wedding planner, whose occupation is in sharp contrast to her personal lack of success with men. Being responsible and the house cook, she is a mother figure to the other girls, although alcohol has been shown to bring out her more free-wheeling "Sexy Dynamite Kae" personality. Her favorite drink is wine.
  • Makoto Kiriyama (桐山 真)
  • A university student and Nao's younger sister. In contrast to her sister she is calm and reasoned. She prefers sweet cocktails.
