Miyazawa Koichi (played by Hiroshi Yakusho) is the fourth-generation president of 'Koguyasan', a century-old tabi (split-toe socks worn with wooden sandals) manufacturer in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture. He works diligently every day, but due to the delicate nature of tabi being handmade products, he often worries about financial turnover. At this time, through communication with the bank manager, Miyazawa begins to consider expanding into new fields. If he does not start a new business, it is not only difficult to expand the company's scale, but even the company's survival is in jeopardy. The new project he is preparing to launch is to leverage tabi manufacturing technology to develop a new style of running shoes that give a 'barefoot feeling'. However, for a small local company with only twenty employees, this is undoubtedly a challenging path. The development of the new product lacks funding, talent, and research and development capabilities, and will also face competition from world-renowned sports brands. Although Miyazawa faces setbacks, with the support of family, employees, customers, the bank manager, and friends, he overcomes obstacles one by one. So, will the running shoe development be successful? What will be the future of 'Koguyasan'?
