I feel like I can watch this forever.

I wonder If..

...I'm being healed by this view.

Why do I suddenly feel hungry?

What should I eat?

What do I want to eat?

It's Yakiniku* of course. (*Grilled bite-sized meat and organ meats)

When someone indulges in satisfying his hunger...

["So what shall I eat?"] When someone indulges in satisfying his hunger...

...he will become selfish and...

["Let's eat here...." "May I?" "Yes, please come in."] ...he will become selfish and...

["Thanks for waiting."] ...liberated for a moment.

["Wow... did I over do it?"] ...to eat freely is an act of aloofness.

Ep. 8: "Hitori Yakiniku (BBQ for One) of Hatcho-nawate, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture."

I wonder if he is on that plane..

"Well! You really found a wonderful thing for me."

"I'm sure..."

"...my boss will be very happy with this." - "Thank you very much."

"Inogashira-san, I'm truly indebted to you."

"Not at all."

"Well, it's time for me to go."

- "Ah, let me drive you to the airport." - "Oh, please don't worry about me." - "Not a problem."

- "I really appreciate all your help." - "Don't be."

"Then, I'll buy something for my child with my saved cab fare."

"Please do."

I wonder what he bought for his child...

Well, I have no particular plan after this..

What should I do...?

It's been a while since the last time I drove on this road.

It's amazing, as usual.

It's like the exposed internal organs of a giant.

Intestines...

The stomach...

Why are men...

...impressed by this kind of view?

I feel like I can watch this forever.

I wonder if I'm...

...being healed by this view...

Why do I suddenly feel hungry?

What should I eat?

What do I want to eat?

It's Yakiniku of course.

("Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture")

("Yakiniku on Charcoal, Shokudo-en")

I rushed to this Kawasaki but...

Which one should I try...?

Ah, there is another one. (Yakiniku Genghis Khan*, Tsuru-ya) (*Mongolian Mutton Barbecue)

Writing in red color on yellow background...

Looks great.

It's crowded...

It's no good.

Let's find another one.

Hatcho-nawate..

Hey, I walked pretty far...

Cold!

I should have worn my jacket...

Yakiniku...

Yakiniku...

No good..

Looks like I'm lost in the Yakiniku maze in Hatcho-nawate..

Don't be impatient. There's an exit somewhere.

That's right. Yellow background with red writing...

Let's go back to that shop.

Wow..

- Yeah, that was really delicious! - Yes.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

- Let's come back again sometime. - Really?

- Excuse me. - Eh?

Are you going in here?

Yes..

It's really delicious. Best Calvi* you'll ever have! (*Korean-style beef ribs)

- I see.. - Please, go right in.

As suspected, this is really a good place.

Good timing! I can go in now.

I was right for coming back.

Welcome!

Please sit at the counter.

I love this feeling.

Hitori Yakiniku*... (*Yakiniku for solo customers)

Make yourself at home.

This is the menu.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

- May I have some innards and omasum, please. - Would you like omasum cooked or raw?

- Raw, please. - Thank you for your order.

Whoa..

There are many selections of edible viscera, too.

It's a little difficult to make a decision here...

No, it's no time to be indecisive.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

- Can I order? - Yes.

Let's see, calvi... and midriff... and...

...chitterlings.

I'll also take rice and kimchi* right now, please. (*Korean spicy pickles)

- Sure, how about something to drink? - Oolong tea please.

Sure, would you like to make it spicy?

Eh?

Would you like to have some cayenne pepper on the meat?

- Oh, yes please. - Sure, thank you for your order.

Onee-san.

- Another fresh lemon sour (mixed drink) please.. - Yes.

That was good enough for the first round.

Anyhow...

This feeling of waiting...

...is like torture.

Thank you for waiting.

Here's the cabbage for your appetizer. If you would like more dressing, please let me know.

[Appetizer Cabbage] "Shredded cabbage with special dressing. Very nice appetizer for Yakiniku."

With dressing, it's unusual... [Appetizer Cabbage] "Shredded cabbage with special dressing. Very nice appetizer for Yakiniku."

Usually it comes with Miso or Gochujang (Korean red chilli paste)..

Eh?

What is this?

Unexpectedly delicious.

This dressing is quite good.

Now I can't wait to taste the meat.

Onee-san.

- I'll have another fresh lemon sour. - Yes.

They are all lone wolves...

I'm same as you. Quick, where is mine?

- Can I order more? - Yes.

- Sweetbreads. - Sure, Thanks for the order.

Thank you for waiting!

Calvi.

Midriff.

And chitterlings.

[Goro's selection, 1st round] "Calvi, Midriff and Chitterlings"

Oh! They have great characters.

I'll get down to business. Let's get cooking.

This sound..

Finally I can hear the cry from the meat I'm going to eat.

This smell.. you can't resist.

- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for coming!

- Welcome! - Welcome.

Here is the menu.

- Excuse me. - There's another lone wolf.

Is it time?

Itadakimasu.

Let's start with calvi...

It's good.

This has the "meatiest" taste.

This sauce is really good.

Really stimulates my appetite.

For Yakiniku, white rice matches the best.

Matches with the taste of the sauce perfectly.

How are the edible viscera?

It's delicious, taste that doesn't let me down.

You expect it to be greasy...

...but it melts nicely in the mouth.

Well...

...let's keep cooking.

I think I put too many on in a hurry...

Don't be impatient.

I don't want to overcook the meat.

Put some garlic to change the flavor a little...

Calm my mind...

...and get back to my pace.

Adding garlic gives renewed strong flavor.

Eating with cabbage is great, too.

I feel like I can keep eating this forever.

Hitori Yakiniku..

...is kind of busy.

I'm so happy.

Good... good...

I'm so glad I chose this shop.

- Can I have the sweetbreads? - Sure.

Another sweetbreads order...

[Kimchi] "Not as spicy as it looks. Taste like mom's homemade ones"

Sorry, sorry..

I forgot about the Kimchi...

It's good Kimchi.

It's time to eat. Eating time!

Kimchi like this, you'll never find it in the stores.

Well.

I'm ready for my second round.

Should I go with the usual...?

...or go with rare choices?

Ah!

That's right!

It was on the sign... ("Genghis Khan")

- Excuse me! - Yes.

May I have a Genghis Khan, please.

Along with Chanjya (Cod's entrails in spicy sauce) and medium shredded cabbage.

Medium shredded cabbage may be a little much for one person.

Look.

Then...

...I wonder what large looks like...

- Would you like to order small instead? - Yes.

Thank you for your order.

Oh, excuse me!

- Yes. - And the sweetbreads too, please.

Sure!

That was close..

I almost forgot to order..

Those are the hands that have kept this shop in business..

Thank you for waiting.

[Goro's Selection, 2nd Round] "Genghis Khan, Sweetbreads."

[Chanjya (Cod's entrails in spicy sauce)] "Goes well with meal and alcohol. Bring smiles to everyone's face."

For the sauce for Genghis Khan, would you like to add garlic and cayenne?

- Please. - Sure.

Well, Genghis Khan...

Let's go.

This too.. Sounds really good.

Let's eat this Chanjya until it's ready.

What is this Chanjya...?

- It's amazingly good. - Here's your sauce.

It's in a different world with its own flavor.

This is great.

Genghis Khan..

It's great.

This is what everyone was ordering...

Oh.. I can see..

Indeed it tastes great!

Somehow... I feel my body is getting hot.

My body is like a steel mill.

No, it's like a blast furnace.

I'm like a human thermal power plant.

- Onee-san, fresh lemon sour. - Sure.

What should I do... Well...

- Excuse me. - Yes.

- Another rice please. - Sure.

I was so worried about the meat, I burned the green...

I feel like I wasted a foot soldier's life..

I'm sorry..

Taste of a failure....

...is a little bitter.

I had a good sweat.

Thank you for the food.

- It was very good. - Thank you for coming.

Shoot.

I ate way too much...

As I thought.

Yakiniku does suit well in this industrial town of Kawasaki.

A man, if you take away all the appearance...

...essentially, is like a factory...I wonder. Based on the manga "Kodoku no Gurume" Story: QUSUMI Masayuki . Art: TANIGUCHI Jiro

Wow! This got to be good.

This appearance...

- Hello~ - Welcome!

- Please come in. - Really nice feeling here.

Love it. I love seeing menus lined up like this.

- You see, um.. I'll take abomasums and sweetbreads. - Sure, thank you very much.

On the counter, you'll find the grills lined up for "Hitori Yakiniku."

- Thank you for waiting. This is the abomasums. - This is the abomasums..?

- And this is the sweetbreads. - Thank you.

For abomasums, use sesame oil to eat, please. [Abomasums & Sweetbreads 630 yen ($7.50) each]

I feel that, to be able to do "Hitori Yakiniku" or not, shows your maturity.

Let's eat the abomasums first.

Delish!

Eating this with sesame oil does enhance the taste.

Meat is flavored and this oil adds aroma.

So good.

Next in line is the sweetbreads.

This one, too.

This has the melts-in-the-mouth-feeling... but have difficulty biting through, just a bit...

The superb combination is amazing.

The spiciness is just right.

Can't stop drinking Makgeolli.* (*Korean alcoholic drink)

Qusumi-san has ordered "Large shredded cabbage..." Then...

- Wait... - Here's your large shredded cabbage.

This is....

[Shredded Cabbage (Large) 290 yen ($3.50)] (This is the actual serving) This is....

[Shredded Cabbage (Large) 290 yen ($3.50)] (This is the actual serving) I think it's a whole cabbage worth, isn't it?

This is a.. Mt. Cabbage, isn't it?

(Mt. Cabbage, elevation 18 cm)

This shop has been in business at this location for 41 years. Isn't it amazing?

- We are running this as a family. - Family...

It's wonderful.

There's no outsider working here.

(Tsuruya Dad = KANEYAMA Seinosuke-san) (Tsuruya Sis = KIM Gyonsuku-san) (Tsuruya Bro = Kaneyama Seiju) There's no outsider working here.

(Tsuruya Dad = KANEYAMA Seinosuke-san) (Tsuruya Sis = KIM Gyonsuku-san) (Tsuruya Bro = Kaneyama Seiju) Oh...

(Tsuruya Dad = KANEYAMA Seinosuke-san) (Tsuruya Sis = KIM Gyonsuku-san) (Tsuruya Bro = Kaneyama Seiju) That's wonderful.

That's wonderful.

You can really see it.

These fans are really describing the family here.
