Ninomiya, Naka District, Kanagawa Prefecture

I knew it would start raining.

I still have over an hour to spare...

Maybe I'll go to a coffee shop or something and do the work that's piling up...

Coffee shop, coffee shop...

Coffee

Light Meals & Coffee YAMAGOYA

Coffee shop... Detected.

YAMAGOYA

"Yamagoya" (mountain cottage)... Sounds nice~.

Okay, where should I start...

Here's the menu~. And water.

Original Parfait

Original parfait?

"You can make your own parfait by combining 1 to 4."

I'm going to do something interesting.

This is no time for work...

You choose the ice cream, the fruit, the sauce, the toppings...

Original Parfait Ice Cream Fruits Sauce Toppings

This isn't something that can be done with one hand.

Alright...

Shall I build a solid, time-tested foundation with vanilla ice cream? Wait...

Since I'm going through all this trouble, I'll be adventurous and experiment with hojicha or uji-matcha?

9 options for kinds of ice cream.

9 kinds of fruits...

10 kinds of sauces, 3 kinds of toppings....

Geh! 2,430 combinations!

An astronomical variations parfait!

It's impossible to decide. I have to grasp it by instinct.

Chocolate, hmm... and candied chestnuts. Then, caramel sauce...

Uh, corn flakes... and...

Excuse me.

Yes?

Can you lend me a pen and paper?

Sure.

MATSUSHIGE YUTAKA INOGASHIRA GORO

Regardless of time or society...

Let's see Over there?

Maybe this shop?

When someone indulges in satisfying his hunger...

Wonder if this is a good one?

Alright! Trying my luck with this!

Oh well, here goes nothing!

For someone who's "belly" hungry Huh? Unexpectedly just right...

...he will become selfish and liberated for a moment.

for someone who's belly hungry

Liquor? Nope, I don't "drink" so.

...28cm, right

Without being disturbed by anyone...

Well, let's see Okay!

...to eat freely is an act of aloofness.

It's good! Oh...

Now this is what I'm talking about, this one

This act is the best comfort given...

Have no problem with this whatsoever Mm Mm Slurp Huff

Excuse me? Can I order for take out? Su~re

Is there something here I could take home?

Fully Enjoying A Solo Meal

Ah, I'm enjoying this I'm really enjoying this shop!

And then for the... fruits...

Banana Candied Chestnuts Apple Orange Kiwi Pineapple Mango Melon Watermelon

Go-Ro's-Fru-its...

Pineapple!

Uji-matcha and pineapple!

Le~t's see, as for the sauce...

[Goro's Original Parfait] Only "Kami*" knows the taste *Paper (pun on "God") Ice Cream: Uji-Matcha Fruits: Pineapple Sauce: Chestnut Cream Toppings: Cornflakes

I wonder if this is okay.

Ladder Lottery Parfait. I'll have to wait and see how it tastes.

I humbly receive.

The pineapple's delicious!

It's like winning the first player draft.

Let's see if the chestnut cream sauce goes well with the ice cream.

Oops...

It's a good match!

It's like I went sightseeing in Kyoto (matcha) with a friend from Hawaii (pineapple).

*known for Japanese chestnuts ...and enjoyed picking chestnuts in Tanba-Sasayama*.

That's how extravagant it is.

This combination will become the new standard in the parfait world in 2021.

Welcome~.

Hi.

Please use alcohol disinfectant.

This way, please.

Okay.

It was a good decision to leave it to chance.

When you got it, you got it.

Excuse me. Here's the menu.

Here's your water.

Thanks.

I want to savor the sweetness of this victory for all time.

Thank you for this.

Ai-chan, you want parfait, right?

I do!

Chocolate ice cream, banana, caramel, cornflakes!

How fast!

You got it!

Just wait for a while, okay?

Okay!

Ai-chan, you're goo~d!

You decided so quickly.

You shouldn't distress yourself over such a thing.

Well, pardon me.

Workshop No. 201

You can't carve curved lines with a flat plane, right?

You need a plane that matches what you're making.

I see~...

Even so, there are so many of them!

My wife complains that I don't need this many.

Oh, that must be tough.

No, not at all.

I've told her firmly not to interfere in a man's work.

An old-fashioned craftsman?

Well, I'm really glad that I was introduced to an artist like you this time, Minami-san.

With ready-made products, it's hard to find what my client wants...

Does he want a Chinese phoenix carved on the back of a chair?

That's right.

I have an illustration and a picture of the room where the chair will be placed.

I'll have a look.

What chair would fit in this room...

What do you think?

I'd be happy to do it.

Oh, really... Thank you.

Then...

If you like, you can have a look at the back too.

Thank you.

Is this a plate?

Yes, it's lacquered and finished...

...so that it can be used for dishes with high temperatures.

Wood has many expressions.

Expressions?

Even if it's the same wood, the way it's cut, the way it's carved, it's completely different.

It's a kind of uniqueness that you can't get from ready-made furniture.

Are you talking about the same thing again...

Hello, I'm Minami's wife.

I'm Inogashira. It's a pleasure to meet you.

He may sound like an impressive guy...

...but we only have ready-made furniture in our house.

He doesn't care about our house.

Isn't that right?

He doesn't tell her off firmly at all.

I didn't mean to interrupt you.

I'm sorry...

Oh not at all.

He may be an awkward guy but he does the job well.

So please support his work.

Yes ma'am. Looking forward to working with you.

Do good, okay?

Please, take your time.

Firmly...

She's unique, isn't she?

There's no taxi coming from this direction at all.

I'll wait while walking...

All that walking has made me...

...super hungry!

Let's look for a shop.

What's the right thing to eat at a time like this?

Ramen? Tonkatsu?

I could always go back to "Yamagoya", if I want to include that in my options...

Braised Kinme(dai) Braised Kinme(dai)

Is that a diner?

"Kinme, Kinme, Kinme, Kinme"!

Fish Dishes NISHIKEN

"Kinme" by the ocean.

Looks good.

What a cool welcome.

It's raining today, though...

Fish Dishes NISHIKEN

Fish dishes.

Those two words also sound good. This is it!

Welcome!

Hello. Sit here, please.

*Splendid alfonsino or golden eye snapper fish Is Braised Kinme(dai)* okay with you?

I... guess...

Got it!

Oi, oi, don't I have a choice?

Excuse me...

Yep?

Can I order other items?

No you can't.

There's no way I'd say that! Please ask for more and more orders. That's how we make our money.

Sorry about that. He was just kidding.

Taisho here is a kind of guy who can't say the usual things.

I heard tha~t!

So he's that type.

Here you go~.

But it's also very noble nowadays for a restaurant to ask you to try one item like some single bout match.

Fine, I'll accept the challenge.

Yakitori

Fish dishes, yakitori...

Plus this much full servings...

Single Items

"Lovers Set, for two people..."

LOVERS' SET for Two People Braised Kinme Set Meal Sashimi Platter Set Meal

It's somewhat uncharacteristic.

Would you like some sashimi?

Uh-oh, he's taken the lead again!

Sashimi Boat For One

But I guess that's where I'm headed anyway...

How about it?

I'll have the Sashimi Boa-... Boat?

Sashimi Boat For One please.

Right choice!

Oh man. I feel like I've been completely taken in by my opponent's pace, and they won't let me play.

Taisho, who takes the initiative.

Well, well, what kind of boat will you entertain me with?

Here~! A set meal of Braised Kinme.

Please wait a while for the sashimi.

What a view!

[Braised Kinme Set Meal]

A set meal with a spectacular view of the ocean!

I humbly receive.

[Braised Kinme] Fleshy and soft! Fermented sweet and spicy sauce! The Kin (Gold)-Medalist of the world of braised dishes

Whoa~!

What... What is this?

So fleshy... spongy... love it.

This sauce is also devilishly good.

It's so exquisitely sweet and spicy and rich that it sends a thrilling sensation down my spine.

This isn't good... It's dangerously good.

The more I eat, the more I'll get stuck in the Bermuda Triangle of sauce, kinme, and rice...

...and never come back.

It's delicious right down to the skin.

It's completely captured my heart.

[Fish Soup] The taste of joy that spreads in your mouth

Let's sip the soup and go back to zero for now.

The quietness, the taste of the soup soaking into my stomach.

[Lotus Roots Kinpira] A gentle companion who feels at ease in the stomach

Kinpira is good too. Can't help eating more rice.

An encounter with a fish restaurant by the ocean.

Even the extra side dishes are a win.

Including the owner's fatherly jokes.

If I have this kinme and white rice...

I can live laughing for the rest of my life

Thank you for your patience. Here's the Sashimi Platter.

Starting here, we have amberjack, scallop, tuna, and aji.

And then here, seared red sea bream, all in one platter.

Excuse me... um...

Is it okay to have...

...another helping of rice and maybe a bowl of fish soup?

Oh, sure.

Oh but then, That would make it a Lovers' Set.

For one?

Yes.

Is that okay?

[Sashimi Platter Set Meal] Tuna • Amberjack • Scallop • Aji • Sea Bream (Seared)

Lovers' Set for one.

Switching over to her side.

[5 Kinds of Sashimi Boat] Connoisseur Taisho's Best 5!

So exciting! There's a raucous revelry going on inside my head.

I concede, Taisho! Sashimi is indeed the right choice!

There's no need for anything else.

Tuna doesn't stop suddenly. The chopsticks don't stop either.

No time to breathe, bingeing on seafood like a nobleman.

And the sashimi rice ain't so shabby either.

This sea bream... is so sweet.

I love the way it's seared.

Welcome!

Welcome~!

Hello, you can sit here.

Thanks thanks.

Let's sit here.

Is Braised Kinme okay with you folks?

What? Oh, I guess so.

Oh~ But since there's two of you, I also recommend the Lovers' Set.

It comes with one Kinme Set Meal and one Sashimi Platter Set Meal.

Do you want to make it a Lovers' Set, dear?

I guess so.

Okay! Lovers' Set coming up!

The way to wrap up the sashimi meal...

...is this way, of course.

Please use thi~s.

What is it?

It's the sauce used for Marinated Tuna Sashimi Bowl.

It's good.

Thank you.

It's good, you know.

The sauce for marinated tuna sashimi bowl. Isn't this great?

It's my Seafood Rice Bowl!

I love the sauce for the marinated sashimi rice bowl.

It tastes different from soy sauce and makes sashimi twice as good.

The delicacies of the sea are all coming at once.

And my stomach started to feel alive.

Following my instincts...

I gobble up the food freely and selfishly.

As for the finale, there's only one way to do it.

The glistening fish and rice are coming in.

My body will become the sea and the rice paddies.

I am a one-man fish market!

Thank you for this meal.

I made a clean sweep of two set meals.

I was energized by the delicious, fun and cheerful restaurant.

I'll be back.

What is Qusumi-san's original parfait?

"Kodoku no Gurume" Original Writer QUSUMI MASAYUKI

This is my selection: candied chestnuts, chocolate, salted milk, mixed nuts.

Qusumi-san Original Parfait Fruits: Candied Chestnuts Ice Cream: Salted Milk Sauce: Chocolate Toppings: Mixed Nuts

I made my way to this quite quickly.

I'm digging in.

It's the right choice!

There's crushed mixed nuts here...

Goes really well with this salted milk.

I think it's the first time in my life that I've ordered a parfait.

I think I've woken up.

This time, we'll go to another shop along Route 1, near the beach.

Fish Dishes NISHIKEN

What do you have today? Or what do you recommend...

Taisho NISHIYAMA KENICHI-san Proprietress ASAKO-san

Right. Well today...

...a rare fish has arrived.

A rare fish?

Yes.

Is that...

A rare fish....

We call it "sumiyaki" (snake mackerel).

There's another way to eat this.

Is that so?

Yes.

First, you hold the chopsticks in your right hand.

And then, you have to eat with them.

That's hard!

Rare Fish (Sumiyaki) *May not be available depending on purchasing situation

Taisho's recommendation: rare fish "Sumiyaki".

Despite its dark appearance, it has an elegant fatty texture.

There are no tiny bones.

I'm digging in.

Go ahead.

Wow!

How is it?

It's delicious... Oh, it's really good!

It's somewhat...

...plumpy, right?

Isn't it?

This "plumpiness"...

...goes well with the sauce.

With this way of eating and filling our stomachs...

You tend to forget...

...to drink alcohol!

This is our shop's Tuna Steak.

S-s-s-super!

Tuna Tail Meat Steak Style

Next is this one...

Garlic!

This is fantastic.

It's a downright feast.

You'd want to drink beer with this, right?

That's when Qusumi-san came up with a plan.

It's like this...

Can I have this wrapped...

Oh, it's fine. Yes.

I'll have this to go...

Sure, sure.

And enjoy it with beer at home.

You'll eat it? Ah...

Sounds good.

Nice, right?
