Set in Kyoto in the home of a traditional Japanese candymaker, Asuka is the story of one young girl's dream to one day walk in her father's shoes and become a top candymaker in the male-dominated world of ''wagashi'' (Japanese confectionery).

Her mother is the daughter of a famous, well-respected head of a candy house that produces the finest quality candies used in the tea ceremony, who it has been decided will marry the son of a famous tea ceremony school master, forming a powerful alliance between the two families. After returning from her meeting with the go-between and the other family she finds the head candymaker in the kitchen hard at work and confesses her love for him. After some dramatic weeks of tears and longing the two elope much to her parents dismay. A beautiful baby girl is born and she is named Asuka.
