Kappamaki and the Sushi Kids are living in a small and peaceful village surrounded by unspoiled nature: flowers, fields, green forest with a crystal-clear river flowing through it. All the inhabitants, including Kappamaki and his friends, are naive, honest and tenderhearted.

There's a school, a park, houses, business offices and shops, just like an ordinary small village anywhere. A friendly guy says that it's a typical Alpine village with the glamor of Paris and the atmosphere of Venice... Is it really? OK. Let's take a closer look... Oh, my goodness! The village looks as if it's made of sushi tools: the banks of the canals are sushi pails. The buildings are piled-up sushi baskets, etc...
