About Wakakozake

Looking for background on Wakakozake (ワカコ酒)? This slice of life series by office DCI (2015) starts out like this. What the story covers: Murasaki Wakako is a 26-year-old OL that loves nothing more than delicious food and drink. Wakako's favorite thing to do for relaxation is to go off by herself after work and go to various places to eat and drink, even if she's never been there before.

Along the way, the moment Wakako is able to taste the pairing between the food she longs to eat and the perfect accompanying drink, the happy sound of "Pshuuu" leaves her lips. Now, then. Where shall we drink tonight?

As a slice of life title, small, quiet moments and character warmth are the main appeal. At the front of the cast is Wakako Murasaki, played by Miyuki Sawashiro in the Japanese track. This one is best suited to viewers who want a calm, character-first watch. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
