Sakamoto's Store
CharacterSakamoto's Store is the modest neighborhood shop at the heart of Sakamoto Days, run by Taro Sakamoto and his wife Aoi. The two-story building serves as a convenience store below and the family's home above.
Appearance
The property is a compact building of two floors. A small convenience store fills the ground level, while the upper floor holds the living quarters where the Sakamoto family stays.
Personality
More than a shop, the store works as a gathering point for the household and its helpers. Taro and Aoi own and staff it together and live there with their daughter Hana, while Shin Asakura mans the counter, Lu Shaotang pitches in part-time, and Heisuke Mashimo handles part-time deliveries. Shin's pay runs to 1,855 yen an hour, with extra owed for overtime.
History
The building began as a derelict, abandoned property slated for demolition, with Taro allowed only to occupy the second floor. Everything shifted when Aoi first laid eyes on it and pictured turning the ground level into a shop for the neighborhood, a project that handed Taro a place where he finally belonged.
