Members of the Japanese idol group Snow Man visit Fukaya City to promote its local products and meet its mascot, Fukka-chan. However, one of the members, Sakuma, oversleeps and arrives late, causing his fellow members to tease him. The group visits the JA Hanazono Farmers' Market, where they try the city's famous leeks and other local produce. They then have lunch at Kappo Kaede, where they try a local dish called "niboutou" and participate in a food report challenge. The winner of the challenge, Abe, gets to try another local dish, curry-flavored fried noodles. Finally, the group meets Fukka-chan, but the meeting is not as emotional as expected, and they end up taking a funny photo together.
