Home Sweet Tokyo

With his wife Itsuki on a business trip abroad, Bryan and Tsuneo set about preparing the Matsuyama-Jenkins household for an incoming typhoon. However, nothing could prepare them for the arrival of Tsuneo's great-niece, Setsuko. Having spent time in the US, "Sets" is not the quiet little girl that Tsuneo remembers and Bryan starts to feel jealous of Alice's "new best friend"! To bring the family together, they dust off his box of Japanese games, but this just brings out everyone's competitive spirit!

With new-arrival Setsuko taking over cooking and baby-sitting duties, Bryan is enjoying life! That is until Alice starts to miss her mum's special ramen dish and is forced to confront a previous traumatic noodle experience! With the help of a grumpy ramen shop owner and his wife, Bryan learns that there is more to ramen than meets the eye, that slurping is encouraged and that, above all in Japan, the customer is a god!

Tsuneo is none too happy that Setsuko's focus has shifted from job-hunting to her new boyfriend, Sho. Especially as his style is a little too funky for Tsuneo's tastes. His overreaction causes a rift in the Matsuyama-Jenkins household, so, while Setsuko does finally attend an interview, Bryan and Tsuneo head to Sho's hometown to repair the damage. Bryan discovers a new local side to Japan, and Tsuneo learns not to judge a book by its cover - nor a boyfriend by his funky jacket!

As the traditional spring equinox approaches, Bryan learns what Oni (Japanese demons) are, but Alice and Setsuko have to face up to real-life challenges far scarier than an angry, red mask. With some inspiration from the tale of Momotaro (The Peach Boy), and some symbolic soybeans, the Matsuyama-Jenkins family come together to drive their demons out and keep their good luck in!
