When we were young, we had a wife, of course, but

we sure played around a lot with the gals.

You won't find a man who doesn't cheat on his wife.

A man's port. Remaining steadfast is a woman's virtue indeed.

Polygamy is the ultimate.

What's this dirty old man saying.
What an idiot.

Eat shit and die.

Ridiculous.
Wow, big boobs.

- Let's watch something else.
- Here you go.

Thanks.

The outside is crispy, yet...

See? It's always the same.
The outside is crispy.

I heard there's a good looking chef here.

Yes, that's him.

He's cool.
It's fantastic that

he's not only good looking,
but a first class chef as well.

Oh! Look.
Did you just see that? Look.

Look. This face.

"I'm cuter. Why aren't I on that side?"

"Why don't I get an invite to IT drinking parties?"

"Why? Why? Why?" That's what her looks are saying. Look here. He's on.

- Who?
- This bastard.

I quit my job because he's an idiot.

We'd like everyone to enjoy French cuisine as cheaply as possible...

That power harassment bastard.
Oh, as for this guy, look.

The newscaster's thighs.
Look. Look at him.

- Look, look.
- He's eying her.

He's latched onto her for sure.
Look, look. Here.

- His eyes are following her. Look.
- Like he's running his tongue all over her.

Yeah, as if he's licking her up.

He eyed her butt.
Just now, her butt.

[TV] It's absolutely delicious.

Is that Karasumori-san?

They were filming this today.

[TV] Once you eat food like this, you can't eat anywhere else.

Why are you promoting their restaurant?

[TV] This is what you call a real treat.

You know, lately

when I get off the taxi,
I find myself saying gochisosan (thank you for the food).

What in the world are you talking about?

Oh, she's there again. Look.
Look, look, she's there.

Look. Just now, that was pretty.

- Just now... Hey, are you all right?
- Let's just turn it off.

Are you all right?

Here, drink this.
If I knew I'd be on TV,

I should've recorded it.
Are you all right?

Where did Tamako and Haiji-san go?

Hey, what's the matter?
What are you worried about?

When I first met Chika-chan,

she was trying to kill her father.

- Is it good?
- It's good.

Come here, come here.

- You can go home now.
- Huh?

- Take your stuff with you.
- Huh?

- Come on, stand up.
- Huh? Why?

Here's taxi fare for you.

Chika.
Over here.

What's the matter? Come here.

I'm terribly sorry.

Paaka-chan.

It seems my daughter was being bullied at school.

- She shut herself in the house for 7 years.
- 7 years?

Obviously, my ex spoiled her.

All she did was play games and

didn't hardly attend junior high.

Hello?
Come back here once.

Never mind that.
Have the cab driver make a U-turn there.

There were these things called VHS and Beta.

And...

Welcome back.
Where's Tamako?

You guys say things like "What? You don't know that either?"

That's why I don't like people from the Showa era.
And every chance they get,

they talk about how hard it was to flag down a cab during the bubble days.

We can't help it.
I bet even lizards are thinking about

the good old days when they were dinosaurs controlling the earth.

Lizards aren't direct descendants of dinosaurs.

Birds are.
Don't you even know that?

Say, Paaka-chan, did you know?

There used to be a TV channel called UHF. Did you know?

You wouldn't know, would you?

Did you ask the reason?
Why she tried to kill her father.

- She said because she was just irritated.
- Irritated?

I don't know, but irritated

isn't a word you use when you're irritated, is it?

How do you say, uh...

It's a word you use when you feel something that can be expressed in words, isn't it?

Well, kids these days say things like

die and kill like a greeting.

In any case, we won't make it in time at this rate.

Tamako. We're in trouble.

Paaka-chan's...

- Chika-chan?
- Tanaka-san.

Coffee house and caf� are totally different, aren't they?

- They're the same thing, aren't they?
- Ah, uh...

If the staff's holding stainless trays, it's a coffee house,

and if they're not, it's a caf�.

What are you doing with your baggage?

Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.
Where are you going?

Let's sit down over there.
Sit down.

Tanaka, a first kiss tastes like lemon, right?

- Strawberry, right?
- Girls,

do you know the difference between Nara period and Heian period?

Can you tell the difference in their pottery?
It's the same thing with Showa and Heisei.

Both Sakurada Junko (Showa idol) and
Gouriki Ayame have short hair. The end.

Sit down.

Don't tell me you're leaving.

Why?
You're our chef, you know.

What is it that you don't like?
Tell me if you have any gripes.

- I don't want to cook.
- How come?

- It's a pain. It's tiring.
- Look. If you think everything's a pain...

People are a pain.

Every day's a pain.
The earth is a pain.

If earth is a pain, I guess you'll have to go to outer space.

Who are you. Kaguyahime*?
(*a princess in a Japanese folktale who came from and eventually returned to the moon)

It's late now. Even if you're leaving,

let's sleep on it for a night.

Chika-chan.

May I come in?

Here.

A chef coat.
For Chika-chan.

I'm not trying to hold you back, mind you.

You know...

when I met Chika-chan for the first time,

I had hit rock bottom, and

I was thinking to myself, "Ah, this may be it for me."

But the pot-au-feu that you made for me
was so very delicious.

And the night sky was so very beautiful.

"Ah, I'm not finished yet,"
I thought.

I don't want to force you to do something

you don't want to do either,
so I won't stop you. But

to me,

happiness is eating, and

happiness is working.

That's why people who has the skill to make delicious food

have my unconditional respect.

Chika-chan, your culinary skill is a treasure.

This is my gift to that treasure.

Good morning.
Good morning.

Okay, it's morning.
Let's wake up.

Let's make this a restaurant

that Chika-chan would want to come back to.

That would be Booth No. 51.
Enjoy.

Welcome back.

Hi. Thanks.

2 weeks until opening

This is so~ good!

- We have beets over there too.
- Really?

I don't know how you can eat it without washing.

It's the soil that tastes good.

The soil?

It's used in French cuisine too.
Like in soil dressing

- and soups.
- Are you talking about microorganisms?

How lovely.

Wouldn't these do?

Food is a feast for the senses
You eat with your eyes too.

Taste can change with the plates you use.

Then why don't you just put one plate on top of another?

- What do you mean?
- Why don't you place a place on top of another,

put soil in between, and eat?

The soil that you love.

Don't point your finger at me.

Auction is war.
It's been around since the Edo period,

a battlefield where you sound out each other's mind over that day's catch.

I'll do my best!

No. 5, 5, 5, 5.

- One-three.
- I have one-three. Now one-three.

- One-five.
- Now one-five...

- One-six, one-six.
- One-six. I have one-six...

- One-eight.
- I have one-eight, one-eight.

- Two-O, two-O.
- Two-O.

Two-O.
I have two-O.

At Two-O to 117...
- Two-one!

Two-one. I have two-one.

- Two-two!
- I have two-two.

- Now two-two, two-two.
- Two-three!

- Two-four!
- Two-five!

- Two-six!
- Two-seven!

Three...

From the upper right angle, put your fist on your chin

and make your face look smaller.
Open your fist,

open your mouth as if in surprise,
and show off your cuteness.

Yes, now.

I'm gonna have ikura (salmon roe).

Did you know that salmons risk their life to lay eggs?

It's a pity they get heaped on sushi rice, isn't it?

I'm taking the ebi (shrimp).

How can she eat something like shrimp, huh?
They just happen to live in the ocean

and visually, they're basically just insects.

Do you and Kawana-san dislike each other?

Huh? Who's Kawana-san?
Ah, you mean that Kawana-san

who re-wraps promotional samples and gives them to her friends on their birthday?

When there's something she wants,
she gets it by finding

two guys who say they'll pay half.
That Kawana-san?

Is that right?

You'd better not talk to her too much.

I know her private Twitter account.

She twitters away bashing the people she met that day.

She's going to write something like "I hope he gets herpes."

Look! She's deleting her account.

Oh, here comes the ikura.

It's delicious!

- Can I see you for a minute?
- Huh? What is it?

What? What? What? What? What?

- You have ikura on your eyelashes.
- What? No way!

Hey, give me your LINE.

You don't know?
You want my ID?

- Oh...that would be great.
- Okay.

Yon daime J Soul Brothers.
Yon is the number 4

and da-i-me is in romaji.

I was just thinking what a lovely ID.

- I'll type it in for you.
- Cut that out!

What do you want?

You're using that recipe for the fond at your restaurant too, aren't you?

Are you mocking me?

Do you think you can beat me with the same recipe?

Oh...absolutely.
Without a doubt.

Are you trying to pick a fight with me?

Count me in.
The loser goes up and down Omotesando stark naked.

I hate stupid bets like that
so I'm winning for sure.

- Good morning.
- Morning.

It's okay.
I got it. I got it.

-Oh, thank you.
- I got it, I got it.

Kawana-kun, what kind of hand cream are you using?

Why are you holding my hand?

I just happened to brush against it.

You know.
Like how it happens on the train.

This morning too, I just happened to brush against a high school girl's butt.

Why did you let go?

Hey, Monji-kun,
What are you doing?

Hey, w-w-w-w-wait.

- I'm not using this fond anymore.
- Huh?

What is this? We just opened and you're already changing the taste?

From now on, I'm competing with my fond.

I've got to find my own fond.

A bandsman boyfriend I was dating 5 years ago

used to say the same thing.
That he was going to find his own music.

Really?
What's he doing now?

- I think he's still searching.
- Ha, ha. That's not good.

Tactis

Norausagi-san, long time no see.

Tyral Tiramisu

Do you want to hunt with us?

Norausagi

I'm sorry. I'm looking for someone.
Have you seen Kanabun-san lately?

Tyral Tiramisu

Didn't she quit already?

Thanks.

Uh...are you still looking for her?

- You okay?
- Yeah. I...I'm okay.

2 weeks until opening

Your uniforms are ready.

For you, Nitta-san.

- For you, Haiji-san.
- Thank you.

- For you, Kyoko.
- Thanks.

Why are you crossing your arms?
Hurry up and put it on.

General producers don't wear these things.

I put all the things we have to do until the opening into a song.

- Song?
- Yes. Everyone, please sing together.

? On Monday, we decide on the appetizers.
Kyoko, you're in charge of minestrone.

? Salad, soup, terrine
Haiji-san, you take the terrine, please.

I don't know how to pull the skin off the squid.

I can't tell where the start of the wrap is.

? Tuesday, meat and fish,
Please hand me some rosemary.

? Saut�, meuni�re, and smoke

You can't taste the essence of the ingredient.

? On Wednesday, we make desserts

? Would you like ice cream to end your meal?

This is so good.

Will you be okay eating all that?

Cute desserts don't make you fat.

? On Thursday, we select wines

There's no need to carry an expensive wine like this.

What if Ishida Junichi and Kawashima Naomi

- came in together?
- No dirty talk, please.

- Let's make this 1,800 yen.
- Okay.

If you don't keep the cost to sales ratio below 35%, you'll go out of business in 93 days.

Instead of getting oshibori (hot towels) at 16 yen a piece from a rental service,

if you don't switch to paper oshibori at 1.8 yen a piece, you'll go out of business in 65 days.

? Saturday is a day for training
When you have to go take a pee,

please say, "I'm taking a short break."

Are we supposed to say "I got a mega hit" when it's number two?

When you spot the insect that's the biggest taboo in a eating and drinking establishment.

- You over there.
- A rainbow has appeared!

Won't that have the opposite effect of drawing the customers' attention?

? On Sunday, we finally open

I'm planning to have a silent opening.

Silent opening?

We won't invite any guests, and
we're just going to open with a sign.

Will we get any customers?

Well, we might get only one or two.

But we'll get acclimated with that first,
and then officially open after that.

Norausagi

Have you seen Kanabun-san around?

Regnet

No, I haven't.

Norausagi-san. I saw Kanabun-san walking
in the town of Einhorn earlier.

Tagane

Kanabun

Kanabun

Norausagi

Norausagi

Mama

Chika?

Mama.

Mama.

Thank God.

What's this? Getting out already?

I'm going to meet up with Mama.

That's great.
For real?

I'm happy for you.

Mama wants to see Papa and me.

Papa's saying let's have dinner together too.

- Is that right?
- Yes.

I might live with her again.

- You'd better get moving.
- I will.

Hurry up and go.

Opening Day

We are finally ready to open.
One important thing to keep in mind.

The customers will probably come up these stairs with an anxious look on their face.

Let's make sure they leave with a smile on their face.

All right, let's go!

Good evening. Welcome.

The person you're with is already here.

Your party is here.

It must be nice for the president to have a family get together at his own restaurant.

You'd better watch what you say.
That's his ex-wife.

What? Is he divorced?

Yeah. Quite some time ago, I heard.

He has a new family now.

- Oh, but did you know?
- Huh?

That girl's the chef at the restaurant behind us.

- Oh...
- Huh?

Shouldn't we order?

We're probably getting a full course dinner.

I think they'll start when Papa gets here.

I see.

Is that...

is that the style now?

- Someone gave it to me
- Oh.

Chika,

you've gotten prettier.

- Don't be silly.
- You have.

I've aged, haven't I?

No you haven't.
You're still pretty.

Look at us,
complimenting each other.

Mama, where do you live now?

Around Nerima.

Is that

- a condo?
- Man, it's cold.

It's freezing out there.

Oh, where am I supposed to sit?

Hm...I guess I'll sit next to Chika.

Oh, no. The London Stock Exchange
is on the move again.

It's down.

Okay.

Wait.

You put extra care into it when the president's the customer, huh?

I never thought the three of us would be eating dinner together again.

I know.

I don't even recall the last time.
Oh, Chika. Do you remember?

That place in Ginza,
Candle.

We had omurice there, remember?

Before you started kindergarten.

You sure talked a lot back in those days.

I never thought you'd turn into one of those kids who shut themselves in the house.

I have to be careful that my son don't...
I guess I shouldn't be talking about that.

Go ahead.

I mean...Chika, you resent me, don't you?

Because I started a new family elsewhere.
It was painful for me...Oh.

I have a good idea.
An atonement.

I'll pay for it, so get your high school equivalency credential

and go to college.
I hear you're a good cook too.

Use my connection and go work for a restaurant somewhere.

- You there. Next course please.
- Certainly.

Also, Chika, you're living by yourself now, right?

That's what I heard, but you're not living with her, right?

- That's right.
- Why don't you live together?

Huh?

I don't know if you were bullied or what, but you isolated yourself and

all you did was play games without even going to school, right?

But it's not too late.
You can start your life all over.

You've finally come out of your shell, so

from now on you should let go and...
Here it comes.

Excuse me.

Here is your Lobster Roti with Sauce Americaine.

I'm going to help myself to this lobster.

You're not eating at all.

Chika wasn't isolating herself.

- Huh?
- The one who was isolating herself

was me.

Karasumori-san.

As I expected, the place is empty.

She loved school.
She had a cheerful and gentle disposition.

She had a lot of friends, and she looked like she was having fun every day.

You're wrong.

After it was just the two of us,

the one who shut herself in the room and started playing games

was me.

From the time she was in elementary school until the third year in junior high,

I didn't step out of the house at all.

I didn't go shopping,
and I didn't do any housework either.

What about meals?

Chika cooked.

For 7 years, without missing a day.

If I was left alone,
I'd keep losing weight.

That's why she cooked for me every day.

She would cook and cook, but I wouldn't eat and

throw away the food and act like a spoiled brat.

She became a skilled cook because
she wanted to make me eat somehow.

You said she's a good cook.

Of course she is.

She was cooking as she was crying.

For the sake of her mother who was screaming everyday that she wanted to die,

she was cooking in anguish.

The reason Chika didn't step out of the house

was because she had to take care of me.

The reason Chika didn't go to school

was because I would die if she left me alone.

I don't know how many women you had, but

in my mind, I killed many of them and

killed myself many times more than that.

When I said "Mama wants to die."
Chika said,

"Okay.
Let's die together."

That day, I left the house, leaving Chika behind.

Before I ended up killing myself and Chika,
I abandoned Chika.

Oh, look. Look how much the
London Stock Exchange went down.

Don't you...

Well, things like that happen, but

everyone's doing well now so isn't everything okay?

Why don't you two live together again?

I said I'll give you the money.

Why not?

I'm getting remarried.

We're going to have a child.

Oh, really?
What does your husband do.

Mama.

I'm happy for you.
Mama.

Congratulations.

What? Restroom?

Did she leave?

Hey, it's free today, right?

No. We are now open.

I can just eat the meal for the staff.

We have no such thing.

Excuse me.

Good evening.

- Are you open?
- Yes, we are.

It's for a party of 17.

Chika

I'm completely isolated now.

I just got done now and I'm getting ready to leave.
Have the girls wait.

Get the garnish ready.

What is that?

- Table No. 6.
- Oh, this.

It's the one you made with the new fond, right?

Never mind. Just take it.

Here is your pot-au-feu with potatoes, cabbage, and thick sliced bacon.

Homemade Pickles,
Anchovy Saut� with Watercress and Potatoes.

Salad with Plump Shrimps and Avocado.

Omelette with Coriander Leaves.
Tomatoes au Gratin.

Bouillabaisse with Lots of Seafood.
Cod Meuni�re.

Roasted Aged Sirloin Garnished with Vegetables.

Spicy Chicken alla Cacciatora.
Grilled Mixed Rice Onigiri.

Pot-au-Feu with Potatoes, Cabbage, and Thick Sliced Bacon.

- 3 orders of everything, please.
- Say, are you busy?

Does it look like we're not busy?

Have them go eat a beef bowl and come back.

Let's buy some time with wine.

Please make a few appetizers first.

I'll do the anchovies.

I'll take the pickles.

Nitta-san, plates for the cheese please.

I don't know why, but I look good in these.

Let me see the order ship.

- Were you all born in the Showa era (12/25/26 - 1/7/89)?
- Ah, yes.

Wasn't there like a wooden sculpture

of a bear with salmon in its mouth on top of your TV?

- Oh, there was.
- Yeah, I remember that too.

Oh, that looks good.

It's okay. Calm down.

Sanzenin-san, the sauce is burning.

Oh, no! I did it.

- I'll go get it.
- Salad's ready.

Hey, Mofuku-chan. Take her place.

Thanks.

Take the dressing.
Where's the dressing?

Over here.

It's ready.

Here's your Salad with Plump Shrimps and Avocado.

This is your dressing.

Do you all work around here?

The finishing touch, please.

Mofuku-chan, cartridge.
Gas cartridge.

Cartridge. I'll get it.

- Hang in there.
- I'm trying to!

It's okay, it's okay.

- Do you have any zucchinis there?
- Zucchini...

- Zucchini. Here.
- Au gratin coming out.

Can I have the herbs?

- Nitta-san, please bring her the herbs.
- That's okay. I'll get it.

Haiji-san, stop!

I was once chased by a bear for 2 km.

- Excuse me.
- Yes?

Is that cod thing ready yet?

I'll go crack the whip right now.

Kyoko, the sauce.

I'm sorry.

- It's okay. Let's make it over.
- Tama-chan.

I knocked over the milk earlier.

Mofuku-chan, can you go buy...

- Tanaka, it's impossible.
- Huh? I mean...huh? But...

You haven't even touched the meat or the fish yet.

The pot-au-feu and grilled onigiri too.
Can you make them in this condition?

I'll go apologize to the customers.
It's okay if we don't charge them today, right?

Karasumori-san.

I...

I'll go.

Paaka-chan.

Chika-chan.
Please. Please help us.

We haven't served any new dishes
for the past 15 minutes.

Chef, help us.

I don't want to.

- Hey, don't be silly.Your comrades are...
- Shut up, moron! Die!

What are you doing sitting down?

Could it be that you can't take it anymore?

I have a friend who can't afford an apartment so

she lives in this 1,600 yen a night net caf�.

Her part-time job is a one-man operation and she works 16 hours a day.

She laughs and says she doesn't even have time to go bathroom. Ms. Tokyo University.

You act like you're above us all, but you're worse than a part-timer.

You'll probably be like that for the rest of your life.

You say "I'm more than just this."
Oh, no.

You're just that.

Help me?
That's funny.

I can't believe you actually thought you could run a restaurant like this.

Oh, maybe you're, you know?
Playing caf�?

You know, those fashionable ones.

They sell things like interior goods and organic stuff and T-shirts.

The staff works hard and they're pleasant. But
their food tastes like crap cuz they're playing caf�.

They have their dream, their hope, their comrades.

A wonderful, wonderful J-pop restaurant.
How disgusting.

I hope a restaurant like this goes out of business right away!

- Oh. If you have anything to say.
- I have nothing to say.

Everything you said is true.

- I'll go apologize to the customers.
- There's no need to apologize.

17 customers are waiting out there.

Your thoughts have been duly noted.

But even then, this is still a restaurant.

This is the kitchen.
Before you start talking, start cooking.

I don't care what it is, just cook something.

Order slip.

Haiji-san.
Please make the preserved lemon sauce.

Sanzenin-san, you get the marinated vegetables.

- We don't have any milk.
- I don't need it.

Tell the customer the cod will be ready in 5 minutes.

Haiji-san. Garnish this with rosemary, please.

Sanzenin-san, please turn the meat over.

Preserved lemon sauce is ready.
Please taste it.

It needs more vinegar.

The meat is ready.

Okay.

Thank you for your patience.
Here's your Cod Meuni�re.

Excuse me.

How to cook rice.

Wash the rice as gently as possible.

Swirl it around.
Don't do it slowly.

[TV] Stir the rice as quickly as possible,
and then discard the water.

[TV] Rice absorbs a lot of water.

Rice absorbs lots and lots of water.

Discard the water.
Wash the rice.

Discard the water.
Wash the rice.

After 3 times, the water will be semi-transparent.

Put the rice in the rice cooker.

Push the button and wait.
Okay, good.

Stir the steaming rice with a rice paddle.

Cooking is

like chatting with vegetables and meat and fish.

Vegetables and meat and fish are all alive.

Say your greeting to them.

Tell them what happened today.

How are you?

Is it too hot?

Is it too cold?

Talk to them like you treasure them.

Talk to them gently as you would to your family.

How to make miso soup.

When the hot water starts bubbling,
add the fluffy bonito flakes.

Add the tofu and seaweed.
Blend in the miso.

Lower the heat.
Don't let it boil.

Okay, good.

How to cook a fish.

Do not cook the fish immediately after you take it out of the refrigerator.

Turn the heat on high.

Flip it over when the bottom side is cooked.

Make sure the skin is crispy.

Sea belly, river back.

When you place fish from the sea on the plate,

face the belly towards you.

Okay, good.

Itadakimasu.

- Thank you very much.
- We'll come again.

Thank you.
Please do come again.

We are very sorry,
but the restaurant will be closed for a while.
