Thank you very much. So then, if you'll excuse me.

I managed to deliver it in time.

But I'm glad she was happy with that clock.

Now, after this is Shin-Koiwa which is the next station away.

That reminds me... I think it's around here somewhere...

There it is.

This is the same featured shop in Season2 Ep6 I'm glad. It's still continuing, unchanged.

We Are Back in Business. Mainly from 5pm to 8pm. ~Zenzen We've begun Take-Out for a limited time: 5pm to 8pm. ~Zenzen

I'll be back.

I wanted to eat their Jyaga-Toro.

I liked their Fish Soup, too.

But it was... so spicy~.

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...

for someone who's belly hungry

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

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

...28cm, right

Without being disturbed by anyone...

Well, let's see Okay!

It's good! Oh...

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

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!

...equally to every man.

SUBTITLES BY WABI-SABI SUBS

I thought it'd be near because it's just the next station...

Translation / Editing / Timing: EARTHCOLORS

...but it wasn't within walking distance.

Oh, there it is.

Excuse me! My name is Inogashira...

Inogashira-san? I'm Takeda.

I'm sorry to trouble you but can you please wait a minute longer?

I'll just...

...do 7 more and I'm done.

Please put your shoes in the shoe box over there.

I'll lend you our shoes later.

"Lend"?

Sorry to keep you waiting...

Oh, it's okay.

I've decided on a training routine, and I don't want to compromise.

I think it's admirable.

The posture, and the muscles...

For example, I was wondering if you have any interior design ideas that I could display around here.

Around here...

Yes.

In order to differentiate ourselves from the other big gyms...

...we thought it would be a good idea to decorate with something unique to us...

Something that would make our members feel good about continuing their training.

I understand. I'll see what I can do.

Please.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Oh sorry. Excuse me.

Since you're here, would you like to try any of our equipment here?

No, no, I'm really not...

How about that one?

No, running is out of the question.

Just walking is enough.

Because walking is a great aerobic exercise.

I've already walked far enough though.

Come, please try it. I'll take this one.

And I'll take your coat too.

Oh, thanks.

Please get up there.

Over here?

That's right.

You know, you can burn fat if you walk 20 minutes a day.

Okay, I'll turn it on.

Okay, let's go for it!

Okay.

Let's try swinging our arms.

That's it, knees bent, one, two, three...

If you'll excuse me.

Never thought I'd have to walk again...

Takeda-san, that's...

Protein shake. Within 30 minutes after training is the golden time to take it.

Then... you brought me here in order to stall for time..

Inogashira-san, don't slack off.

Come, let's go back.

Okay now, I'll increase the speed.

Oh okay.

There! One, two, one, two!

Doing good.

Alright, keep it up! Yes, that's it, that's it.

Keep it up!

In the end, I was forced to walk for 20 minutes.

I walked a lot today.

I burned calories so much that...

...it made me ...hungry!

All right, let's find a shop.

Go left, right, forward, or back...?

There are treasures in alleys like this, right?

Has my intuition gone wrong?

No, I'm sticking to my original intention.

That one's Thai food...

GUIZHOU HINABE* *HINABE = Literal Translation: "Fire" + "Hotpot = "Spicy Hotpot"

"Hinabe"?

GUIZHOU HINABE Guizhou Hinabe Spicy Flavors of Guizhou

These Chinese writings...

This is not Japan anymore.

For some reason, "Enter the Dragon" came to mind.

Should I dare have spicy hotpot in this hot season?

Yes! Looks promising.

Alright... Let's work up a sweat one more time!

Hello.

Liàng tǐwēn.

Xiǎodài.

Yes.

Temperature check, please.

Oh this one...?

Please have a seat.

Here's our menu. Party of one?

Oh... yes...

Seems they only remove that if a person is dining alone...

Yes?

Isn't this a pretty deep restaurant by any chance?

"Guizhou cuisine is characterized by...

...umami and sourness from fermentation...

...and a wide range of chili peppers."

The Chili Pepper Condiments of Guizhou Zāo Làjiāo

"Zao Laojiao."

"It's a condiment made by grinding fresh chili peppers and fermenting them with garlic and ginger.

These many condiments for just chili?

One whole fish!

Jiào Tóu Bàn Shuǐ Dòuchǐ

*seafood and vegetables with miso dressing Fermented Rakkyo and Mizu-Natto Aemono*.

"Mizu (Water) Natto"?

Liángbàn Xiǎocài Sān Yàng

"Chef's Choice, Three Kinds of Guizhou Appetizer Set."

I'm weak at the words "Three Kinds".

They can serve it in "half size." Thank goodness.

Liángbàn Xiǎocài Sān Yàng Mystery (Surprise)

"Mystery"?

Even if the shop says it's a mystery...

Jiācháng Dòufu Huíguōròu. Simple (Not Spicy) One Item Dishes

"Twice-Cooked Pork with Dried Natto."

Natto sure comes up a lot.

Finally, we come to the hotpot.

Hotpot (Serves 2 People) Dòuchǐ Huǒguō

"Dried Natto Spicy Hotpot."

Even here, there's natto! It's only for two people.

Seems hard to decide...

What's that?

Excuse me.

Yes.

Is that hotpot for one person?

We can also prepare it for one person.

I see. Well then, I'll have Dried Natto Spicy Hotpot ...

Well, for one person please.

Dòuchǐ Huǒguō?

Sounds about right.

Yes, yes. And also...

Chef's Choice Three Kinds of Guizhou Appetizers Set. Half.

Liángbàn xiǎocài sān yàng... Half.

Yes. And also...

Guizhou Home Style Twice-Cooked Pork with Atsuage (thick fried tofu).

Jiācháng dòufu huíguōròu.

And some rice.

Rice.

Oolong tea.

Oolong tea.

That's it for now.

Yes sir.

Whew~. Drew another sweat even before I've eaten...

Ah, it's this way...

Oh, here it comes... The mysterious "Three Kinds Set".

Huh? It's a mysterious Four Kinds Set...

Fourth one's on the house.

Xie xie.

[Chef's Choice 3 Kinds of Guizhou Appetizer Set (Half) + Free Item]

Guizhou-style hospitality.

Let's take it with gratitude.

I humbly receive.

[Fermented Rakkyo and Mizu-Natto with Aemono] Crunchy Refreshing Perfect as a palate cleanser

It's rakkyo!

It's moderately spicy.

Wait... oh, it's hot!

But it's good.

Rakkyo and natto are a good match.

[Kohlrabi and Smoked Meat Stir-fry] Unfamiliar vegetables but it's good

Is this smoked meat?

Spicy!

But the more you chew it, the better it tastes.

What is it?

It's like dried daikon strips... Mysterious.

[Konjac with Aemono Dressing] Spicy hot A universal side dish

Mysterious and comforting.

Maybe it's a Guizhou Mom's home cooking.

It seems like there was something like this in a school lunch...

[Stewed Chicken with Spicy Sauce] Guizhou representative spicy chicken dressed in chili peppers

Wah... so spicy...

The free appetizer's spicy hot!

But... it's good!

With this one...

Excuse me... can I already have the rice, please?

Certainly.

Ah~ Yum. Spicy-licious.

Glad there's rice. I'm already sweating.

It's true that the quality of spiciness differs from person to person.

But in the end, it's still spicy.

Let's put everything on it.

Ah~ I can't do this after all...

Have to have a reinforcement...

Here is Jiācháng Dòufu Huíguōròu.

Excuse me.

[Twice Cooked Pork with Atsuage (Guizhou-Style Home-Cooking)] Bringing out the sweetness of pork This one's the white rice thief of Guizhou

So this is Guizhou's Twice Cooked Pork.

I like this a lot.

The deep-fried tofu is exquisite. Yes, exquisite.

Spicy pork with white rice is the best.

After all, my heart gets excited at this kind of taste...

Pardon me.

[Natto Hinabe] [Vegetable Platter] [Pork and Dried Natto] [Dipping Sauce]

[Dipping Sauce] This one's the key point of Hinabe

Natto's in the sauce too.

Do you put this meat in the pot too?

Yes.

In Guizhou, we enjoy the meat first.

You can put it all in. The meat is okay as it is. You can already eat it.

As it is?

Yes.

Thank you.

I can eat it as is?

I see...

I guess that's how you do it...

Excuse me. I'll have more rice please.

Certainly.

[Natto Hinabe] Natto wraps up the moderate spiciness

The smell of natto hits me at once.

I love it.

It's hot!

And spicy!

But it's good... Delicious!

It's different from the spiciness of Szechuan.

Is fermentation the key technique?

I don't know what it is but it's good.

Excuse me. Can I have some water, please?

Here's the water.

On the house.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Xie xie.

Xie xie.

[Soy Milk] I feel the kindness of Madam

Soy milk.

This is nice.

It's the perfect way to put out a fire in your mouth.

This sauce is addictive.

Excuse me.

Yes.

Additional dipping sauce...

Additional dipping sauce...

If I want to add some meat in it, what would you recommend?

I suggest the local meat.

Yangrou's very popular.

Yangrou?

Yes, correct.

What's "Yangrou"?

It's lamb.

Then I'll have that please.

Got it.

[Lamb Meat] Eat in silence Not baaah~d

Guizhou lamb covered in natto is delicious!

It's spicy! But I'm already used to it.

But that's what makes it a spicy hotpot. Enter the Dragon!

Guizhou-style natto and rice with lamb.

Guizhou cuisine was born in a mountainous area at an altitude of 1,000 meters.

And yet it's a mystery why they love natto.

The wisdom of 4,000 years of China...

...is gently fermenting.

I worked up a good sweat.

Immense satisfaction.

Thanks for the food.

Thank you for the business.

"Kodoku no Gurume" Original Writer QUSUMI MASAYUKI

It's my first time to try Guizhou cuisine.

"Jiao tou ban shui douchi..."

Jiào Tóu Bàn Shuǐ Dòuchǐ (Fermented Rakkyo and Water Natto with Aemono Dressing)

I haven't the faintest idea what that is...

There are many items with difficult names.

What did Qusumi-san order?

Xu Linjing-san

Fermented Rakkyo and Water Natto with Aemono Dressing.

I didn't know there's something like this.

Fermented Rakkyo and Water Natto with Aemono

The first dish is...

...Fermented Rakkyo and Water Natto with Aemono.

This is a first for me...

It's spicy!

It's really hot, but it's good. Really delicious.

I guess because there's natto in it...

...it has a thick taste inside my mouth.

But this can be addicting.

Fried Potato Salad with Pickled Vegetables (Half)

The second item is this one...

It's potato salad that's been fried.

Wow, this is...

...interesting!

There's "pickles" inside.

There's pickles in here?

Yes. Vegetables fermented using lactic acid.

It's good, but it's spicy too.

It's like mashed potatoes.

When we were kids...

We used to go and eat it...

...as street food after school.

It's our snack.

A nostalgic snack.

Dried Meat Fried Rice (with Fish Mint)

Next up is what Qusumi-san's waiting for.

This looks delicious. Looks amazing.

Oh, it's good.

A light and fluffy type of fried rice...

Natto has a surprisingly chewy texture.

Oh right... put just a little of that on top...

Put a little of this on top...

Guizhou people often eat as one.

Guizhou people...

Delicious.

This would (have been good with) beer, right? There's a current Liquor Ban; liquor are not allowed to be served in restaurants in Japan
