A book distribution company in Tokyo moved into a new office, and with that, a new company cafeteria was opened in the new office building. We follow the in-house team tasked with handling the opening of the new cafeteria, as they set up thermometers and install acrylic dividers as countermeasures for COVID-19. After the lunch rush passes on the hectic first day of the new cafeteria, the leader of the cafeteria opening team finally sits down for a well-deserved, delicious tempura bowl.

In Japan, there is a type of restaurant called "ryotei," where you can enjoy traditional Japanese cuisine and geisha entertainment. We visit one in Tokyo that has been unable to provide dinner service due to the pandemic. In such a difficult situation, the "okami," the Japanese word that refers to the woman in charge of a restaurant or inn, decided to sell takeout bento. And the bento service has allowed the restaurant to keep in touch with their regular customers during this difficult time.
