This is the show you put on when you need the world to stop screaming at you. A green tea monkey gets into small, ridiculous trouble, and nothing catastrophic happens. Nobody saves the day because nothing was ever actually broken. The rhythm is so deliberately gentle it rewires you. You're not watching a story, you're sitting in a tea shop while someone who loves you very much tells you pointless, warm things about their day.

A mischievous green tea monkey is at the center of this short-format series made by NHK for toddlers. Across 80 brief episodes, the monkey gets up to his playful mischief in stories aimed at the very youngest viewers.
