All language subtitles for What Did You Eat Yesterday (Kinou Nani Tabeta) S02 EP01.en

(June)

If it's more than this, it'd be bad.

(New Takaraya)

(Household Expenditures)

This is bad.

There's no way to keep it under 25,000.

I should have bought two cartons
of low-fat milk last week.

That was reckless of me.

There's only a little frozen
meat and fish left.

We're even running out of tubers.

Damn it. We won't
last three days with this.

Kenji, what's wrong?

Shiro.

- What's wrong?
- What should I do?

My weight

has reached the highest
it's ever been in my life.

What?

Ow, it hurts.

You...

Hey.

Why is it?

I know I've been gaining weight.

I've been careful
and eating less lately.

But why?

Is it because I'm older

and my body absorbed
the water I bathed in?

I guess?

What's with that mindless answer?

Nothing. Your shirt is too big.

Is that so?

But...

Isn't it normal that
the expenditures increase?

We've been staying home more.

Even if we cut out expenditures
for lunches and eating out,

setting food budget at 25,000
is impossible from the start.

I guess that's true.

But if we give up once,
we will lose control, right?

Shiro.

Hmm?

You're...

talking about my weight?

What?

Am I that much fatter?

Well...

a little.

You know.

Even though you really think that,

you should say no
and try to be considerate.

I'm trying to control myself.

Look.

If I keep lying to you to make you happy
and avoiding reality,

it'll be irreversible.

Huh?

Your checkup result.

It's out, right?

Let me see.

No.

It's fine. There's nothing
wrong with me.

Nothing at all?

At your age, with that intensive
checkup, there's got to be a few.

My cholesterol...

is a little...

I knew it. Let me see.

Your result is in the room, right?

What? No.

Why?

I don't have to show you
that kind of stuff.

It's personal.

This is a violation of privacy.

I just want to check
if your health is okay.

It's important.

No way. You can't do that.

Because

you'll definitely look at my weight.

I just want to see the blood work.

Liar.

When you see the numbers
around my tummy,

you're going to say
something unpleasant.

I won't let you see.

Why are you like this now?

Ha.

You laughed.

- Like you got the upper hand.
- Hey, I did not.

Whatever. Let me see.

No way.

What did you do?

Over my dead body.

Open the door.

Are you going to keep doing this?

"What Did You Eat Yesterday?" Season 2
(Episode 1)

- I'm back.
- Welcome back.

Finally, the weather is nice.

But it's so humid, I'm all sweaty.

I want to eat something refreshing.

Oh, you haven't had lunch yet?

The client changed the meeting time.

Then should we order soba or something?

Sounds good.

Oh.

I brought my own lunch.

Don't worry, Osamu.
You can order your soba.

Oh?

Okay.

Then I'd like tempura soba.

There's nothing refreshing about that.

Well.

Sorry if this sounds rude.

But Mr. Kakei from our firm

is not the type to enjoy
that kind of bar entertainment.

Please find more accurate info.

I'll leave it to you.

Okay.

Hostess bar?

That's right.

The Hakkakudo Pharmaceutical

said that you

really like the bars that have girls.

Huh?

They said, this month,

they have taken you to the hostess bars
four times already.

But they thought it's too much,

so they called to ask me,
the director, to help warn you.

No. I mean...

Don't worry.

I already told them

that Mr. Kakei is the only one

who'll never like going to
those bars with all those girls.

Well, about that...

Because Mr. Kakei

isn't someone who'd take advantage
of others' money and his job

to entertain himself.

Wasn't it really rude?

He leaves work on time
like his life depends on it.

Mr. Kakei taking his clients out
for drinks is just...

Not gonna happen.

That's kind of boring to be honest.

Yes.

But being boring
is Mr. Kakei's strength.

Yeah.

Wait.

Even I had my fair share of fun
back in the days.

Going to those hostess bars
was really fun.

It's like the Dragon Palace.

(New Takaraya)

Sorry for being boring.

For me, the Dragon Palace is here.

Is there a delay in shipment?

Whatever.

Today, I have to buy the stuff

that'll help me survive for three days.

Oh.

(Flatfish)
Flatfish...

Two pieces at this price
is considered cheap.

But

it's still expensive for today.

(Five percent off)

Great. It's coming.

Come on.

Come on.

Yes, it's here.

Eh?

Only the flatfish?

Hang in there.

We gotta hang in there now.

I'm home.

Oh, welcome home.

Hey, Shiro.

I heard New Takaraya
is going out of business.

Huh?

Thank you for the food.

It's very good.

Are you still not full?

Sorry that the main dish was so simple.

It's nothing like that, Shiro.

But it's a shame
that supermarket is closing down.

Mm.

I thought they'd make it.

It's probably why they didn't
refill the ingredient stock.

The female cashier...

She's nice. Now, I'll feel lonely.

Nice?

She always frowns.

Huh?

She always says hi to me,

and tells me where
the discounted products are.

Huh?

She's never once said hi to me.

I wonder if she'll be able
to find a new job.

People at that supermarket
have always been trying so hard.

It's too bad they're
closing down, right?

I guess so.

Anyway.

We'll have to find a new place to shop.

(Chill Spot)

How is it?

It looks good.

And then, finally,

my husband yielded.

Eh?

Even though he was the one
who cheated and destroyed our family,

he came back crying.

Your husband contacted you?

Look.

Huh?

(Closing Down)

It's only when I lost you

that I realized how important you were.

Please.

Give me one more chance.

He lost all his ego and pride.

It's awesome how you managed
to make your husband say that.

Stop it, Tabuchi.

You really like
this kind of stuff, don't you?

Ms. Sato, you must have
pushed him so hard.

About that,

I collected the evidence and all,

and asked for a large sum
of compensation money.

You're so cool.

But that's how it is.

Your husband was reckless
for getting caught cheating.

That's right.

At least, he should have
tried not to get caught.

Whoa, Reiko.

Tabuchi.

So, will you go back to your husband?

No way.

I'm moving on.

Is that so?

Right.

(Super Akiyoshi)

Lamenting over what's been lost
won't help.

From today onwards,

this will be my main battlefield.

(White radish 175 yen each
Lettuce 114 yen each)

(Tomato 350 yen/bag
Celery 100 yen/bag)

Even chicken breast, my last hope,

(Chicken breast 89 yen/100 grams)
is 89 yen per 100 grams?

It's not that expensive,

but at New Takaraya, it's only 69 yen.

I'm running out of budget.

Is this the furthest I can go?

Twenty-five thousand yen a month.

No.

Shouldn't I keep trying?

What should you do?

Kakei Shiro.

My cholesterol...

is a little...

Actually, fish should be better
than meat, right?

Oh.

It's thick.

Good stuff.

(Flatfish 427 yen, recommended product)
But...

as I thought, fish is expensive.

My weight

has reached the highest
it's ever been in my life.

Only once or twice a week.

It's okay to eat high-quality fish.

Here are your card and receipt.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What?

What?

Would you like a plastic bag?

Yes, please.

What?

Why?

The fish here is very good.

Oh, well...

I'll be shopping here from now on.

Uh...

Oh, and my rewards card.

Welcome.

All right.

Let's do it.

Let's start by making potato salad
using a relatively new method.

Mix half a thinly sliced onion

and one thinly sliced cucumber

with salt and leave it for ten minutes.

Take four slices of ham
from the one pack that we have left,

and cut the semicircle into wedges.

As for the four potatoes,
cut them into two-centimeter pieces.

Add some water to make boiled
mashed potatoes without adding salt.

In the meantime, prepare the seasonings.

Two teaspoons of chicken soup powder.

One tablespoon of vinegar.

One teaspoon of sugar.

Sprinkle some pepper.

At this step, don't forget
to add onion that's been

washed under running water and squeezed.

After boiling mashed potatoes
until the water is completely dry,

pour it into a bowl
with the onion and seasonings.

Mix potato and onion well,
and add mayonnaise.

Then add cucumber that's been
squeezed out and ham.

Sprinkle black pepper as you wish.

A two-day portion of potato salad
is now ready.

It's really easier than the old method.

Potato salad does take an
unexpectedly long to make.

Good. Next.

Let's cook the flatfish.

Braised fish.

It's been a while since the last time.

I have to really pay attention
to making this dish.

Cut a cross into the skin of the fish.

Boil it briefly in water.

Then wipe off the water.

Add half a cup of water into the pan.

Three tablespoons of sake.

Two tablespoons of mirin.

Two tablespoons of shoyu.

One tablespoon of sugar.

Add Kombu if available,
and then turn on the stove.

The soup will boil instantly.

Put the whole pieces of flatfish in.

Simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes.

Then cover it and continue braising.

Taste the soup.

It should be slightly sweet and light.

After this, it'll taste better.

I'm home.

Oh, welcome home, Kenji.

We'll have fish today.

Really?

Wow, I'm excited.

- I'll go wash my hands.
- Okay.

The rest is just side dishes.

Cut okra in halves.

Then stir-fry quickly in a little oil.

Season with shoyu and dried bonito.

Stir-fried okra is now ready.

All right.

Let's finish braising the fish.

Add ginger five minutes
before it's cooked evenly.

That'll get rid of the astringent taste
and give a nice aroma.

Lastly, use a ladle

to pour the soup
over the fish several times

to make it evenly cooked.

Whoa.

It looks really nice.

Wow.

It's been so long since the last time
we had braised fish.

Traditionally braised flatfish, right?

I hope it tastes good.

- Let's eat.
- Let's eat.

Mmm.

It's delicious, Shiro.

It's seasoned just right.

No fishy smell at all.

Is this

super premium flatfish?

Huh? Let me see.

Oh.

Mm. You're right. The fish is very firm.
It's premium flatfish.

The salty and sweet taste
goes well with plain rice.

The fish is great,

but the soup...

- Hey, hey.
- I can just pour it on rice and eat.

Mmm.

Braised fish is really wonderful.

I'm glad you like it.

Your potato salad.

Mmm.

Yummy.

Today, you added ham too.

I love this the most.

I used the method that takes less time,
but it turned out pretty good, right?

Mm.

The okra is not too soft.
It feels good to chew.

Yeah.

Okra's mucus

helps reduce cholesterol too.

Really?

Then I should eat a lot.

Yum-yum.

It won't drop that fast.

- No?
- Not that fast.

You don't have to rush.
Take your time to eat.

Enjoy the taste.

Okay.

Yum-yum.

It's so yummy.

I'm stuffed.

The fish was really good, right?

You should make it again.

Yeah.

Thank you for the food.

I'll clean up the table, then.

Kenji.

I have something to talk to you about.

What?

What's wrong?

What's the matter?

I'm sorry.

Kenji.

What?

What...

What is it?

From this month onwards,

I want to

raise the food budget to 30,000 yen.

I'm sorry.

Wait a sec.

That's why I told you

to stop making that face.

Huh?

Just raising the food budget.
It's totally fine.

Of course, I don't mind.

I know it's been a struggle
for quite some time.

But when you said,

"I'm sorry, Kenji,"

I almost had a heart attack.

I'm sorry.

But to me, it's quite a shock.

We've been trying so hard.

But when I realized
we couldn't keep going,

it's disheartening.

I know.

I saw all the effort you put into it.

But it can't be helped.

Even bread sold in convenience stores
is getting smaller and smaller.

And drinks in packs

are also made smaller
but sold at the same prices.

That's right.

Wheat flour, butter,

and even Haagen-Daz is more expensive.

That supermarket sometimes
puts it on sale.

Should we buy it, then?

Okay.

So,

raising the food budget to 30,000 yen

is reasonable. Do you agree?

But...

To be fair,

if we only eat only chicken and pork,

there's a way to keep it
under 25,000 yen.

But

if we do that...

Huh?

Nothing.

I'm really sorry, Kenji.

I'm really sorry, Kenji.

Wait.

I told you.

What is it now?

Your high cholesterol level

might be my fault.

What?

Even if it's lean,
if you eat too much meat,

I heard it can increase cholesterol.

Eating fish is really better.

But I had to keep the budget
under 25,000 yen,

so I never bought fish.

Good fish is more expensive than meat.

That's why...

No.

I'm really sorry, Kenji.

So,

now that the food budget
is raised to 30,000 yen,

I plan to

use it to make fish dishes too.

The supermarket I went to this time
sells very fresh fish,

so...

Shiro.

You apologized so seriously

it's kind of weird.

But

you think about all these things
because you care about my health.

Thank you.

Mm.

Nah.

But it's kind of frustrating.

I got stressed when things got more
expensive and New Takaraya closed down.

I tried so hard to be frugal.

I just don't get it.

But

isn't it the reason why we got to eat
such wonderful fish today?

Lots of things may be changing,

but there aren't only bad sides to it.

Yeah.

I guess you're right.

The fish

was good, right?

Yeah.

Thank you for the food.

Yeah.

Let's clean it up.

All right.

- Hey, hey, hey, Shiro.
- Huh?

Next time,

should we eat rosy seabass?

No way.

- What? No?
- Of course not.

What are you talking about?

Isn't 30,000 yen enough?

- No.
- What if we make it a celebration?

Learn to save some money.

What?

Hostess bar?

That's right.

They accused me of
something I didn't do.

Then what happened?

I'm...

really sorry.

This is for everyone of you.

After that,

when I pushed Tamba,
who's in charge of this, to talk,

it turned out

he's the one who issued the receipts
under Mr. Kakei's name.

He is known to be very strict.

I never thought it's possible.

I'm really sorry.

Tambe said,

"Well, Mr. Kakei really wants to go,"

"so it's quite inconvenient."

He kept telling people around him that.

- Did you clear up the misunderstanding?
- Even in my company,

people said

Mr. Kakei didn't look the type.

No, did you clear up...

How unfortunate of me.

I didn't even do anything.

What if I can't face people
from that company anymore?

Eh?

But Shiro,

you really didn't go?

I did not. It's a hostess bar.

Well.

For you, it doesn't matter
if it's girls or boys.

You just like pretty people, don't you?

You like it when they try to
please you, right?

When young people say,

"What? You're almost 50?"

"I can't even tell. You look so good,"
or something like that,

you smile from ear to ear, don't you?

Ha.

It's not like that.

It was a long time ago.

My client who was the president
of a company invited me.

It happened sometimes.

I knew it.

I guess you're popular.

But you don't feel bad, right?

You think maybe you should
go again, right?

Listen.

If I go to a place like that,
I won't be able to make dinner.

I'd never bother and miss out on doing
the thing I look forward to the most.

Oh.

Is that so?

Shiro.

You really look forward to

having dinner with me?

I just like to cook.

You like it? I'm so happy.

I'm feeling shy.

You only heard it the way you wanted.

Shiro.

Will we have dinner together again?

I'm off.

(Next episode)

This is Goro.

He is all grown up.

You can think of him as your own nephew,

and please take care of him.
