Nobody talks about this one. A kid inherits a sushi restaurant and has to keep it alive while his manager, a seal in a human suit, sabotages everything with the worst possible advice delivered with complete confidence. The humor lives in that specific friction: absurdity playing it completely straight, deadpan sushi shop economics meeting a marine mammal who has no idea what he's doing. It's not trying to be clever about it. The gag is that simple, and that's why it works.
Ebi, whose name means prawn, loves to eat, especially strawberry cake. The tamago-kids, or egg-kids, are never apart, spending their time joking around, playing, and napping. Their boundless curiosity and energy leave Ebi thoroughly confused. Toro-papa, the tuna papa, carries himself with dignity and an easygoing attitude, yet his poker face makes him hard to read. Ikura-mama, the salmon roe mama, loves baking cakes and looks after her children well, though she is quick to lose her temper. Running 30 short episodes, the comedy draws its laughs from this cast of food-named characters and their quirks.
