You have a more stooped back today, huh.
- Do you think so? - Did something happen?
Hmm ...
I lost my confidence.
In music?
This time is at work.
My boss is pretty strict.
I want to be praised ...~
- How about making a girlfriend? - Not that again.
How many days have you been without a girlfriend, again?
3000 and ...
3018 days.
Huh?
That man, don't you often see him lately?
He was also at our live, I wonder who is he.
Who knows?
But I feel like I've seen him somewhere ...
Ah. I gotta go to the supermarket.
And yes, you just suddenly disappeared.
-Huh? - Oh.
- You came here. - Yeah.
Huh? You're alone?
Uh, y-yeah ...
- See you. - See you.
- Masao! - Hm?
Nevermind.
Oh, supermarket!
Episode 3 Daikoku's easy mixed rice Ginger Pork (Shogayaki)
- The wisdom tooth, see, um - It hurts? I'm so sorry ...
- This is getting worse, it hurts so much I can't stand it! - Are you okay?
- Can you use magic? - Okay.
- Pain, pain, begone~! - Uwaa--!
Alright. 8 minutes until the time sale, huh.
Oh my GOD!
Why?! Koshihikari is on sale!
No! I can't betray you!
It has to be you.
Having an affair even for a moment, I apologize.
Today I'll make a simple side dish that brings out your taste.
A simple, delicious menu that maximizes the splendor of rice ...
Time Sale.
Ah.
It's time.
Are you aiming for the shoulder loin?
Yes. That's right.
Hmm~
Today I'm determined to make freshly cooked rice and ginger pork.
(Evil laughs)
Ghh!!!
What a teasing play!
I'm buying rice that isn't on sale today, you know!
Beside that are you still trying to make me buy a fixed price item?!
AAH! That's enough!
Let's just buy it at the fixed price like a man!
Wait!
Oh ... Thank you.
You've worked hard, myself!
(satisfied voice)
(lonely bachelor laughs)
Hello, welcome!
♪〜
Translucent shining white.
Beautiful as always.
When I see this radiance,
I feel calm somehow.
Carefully and gently polish the rice.
Soak in water and wait for a while. Meanwhile ...
Until the rice is cooked, prepare for ginger pork.
Shred cabbage, spread in water.
Grated ginger, soy sauce, sake, mirin (sweet sake), sugar
Add 1 tablespoon each.
Cut onion into thin slices.
One hassle here.
Without getting tired,
Muscle cut the shoulder loin.
Just put the knife in several places.
The pork will not shrink and can be grilled cleanly.
Alright. With this the preparation for ginger pork is complete.
Let's wait for the rice to cook.
Freshly cooked white rice with sweet and spicy ginger pork ...
Yeah that's fine ...
This is it.
What are you gonna do with perilla?
Well, you'll see.
First, take a pinch or two of salt.
I wanna do that too!
Your hands will get dirty, so just wait.
Damn it.
I've done that again.
Once I get back,
Stack two sheets and rub gently.
On the chopped perilla, add 2 tablespoons of white sesame.
Alright, let's get to the main stage.
Put the frying pan the stove, light the fire.
First, bake one side over low medium heat.
After turning the meat over, there will be an empty space.
Pour the seasoning mixed with onion there.
Cook while entwining the sauce until it is cooked to your liking.
It's more like simmering than baking.
OK.
After that, finish this one.
Hmm~ what a blissful smell.
Ah, Akita Nadeshiko-san.
You are the most beautiful.
It says "I made it",
But did you really make this rice?
So delicate and fair,
*He refers to two things; rice and Akiko Nadeshiko.
I don't think these had been bathed in the sun. (has she?)
Were these really out from the fields? (was she?)
Am I being fooled? (by her?)
"Your cooking is lovely."
"I can eat this as much as I want."
"Thank you for making such delicious food with my rice."
Nii-san? (in context: young man)
Huh?
I'm not fooling you.
I really went out into the fields.
She came out.
Everyone talks the same thing.
That I don't really go out to places like rice fields.
"It’s just a performance to attract customers."
- Here. - Yes.
Can you take out the mayonnaise?
Ah, yes.
- Here. - Thank you.
Is it because I'm cute?
Everyone talks with a funny prejudice.
Rather unfortunate.
But it's actually selling.
Because I became a sticker,
there are many fans like you.
Have a seat. There, have a seat.
- Come on. - Yes.
Let's.
- Itadakimasu. - Itadakimasu.
Delicious.
Oh... Thank you so much.
I can keep telling someone about this, It's really delicious.
Let's make a white fox... with mayonnaise...
Hmm~ It's again something really delicious.
That's good.
You're a good person.
Huh?
Because living is eating.
I think people who take good care of their meals like you..
... are good people.
When you're washing the rice,
Do you always do Ogami-arai?
- Ogami.. arai? - Hm. Ogami-arai.
*Ogamu: doing a praying gesture | *Arai: washing.
Like this, putting rice between your hands,
you wash it as if you are praying.
When you did that, I thought
in every grain,
you could see the god of rice.
That's why, you're a good person.
I'm glad you said that to me, but
I'm actually not that good.
No, that's it.
Stop pretending that you're not confident like that.
Pretending I'm not confident?
It's useless to hide it.
I know.
Because you don't want to hurt yourself,
you get low on yourself and use it as a sword
to keep you from your own fear.
But your cooking is ...
full of confident.
Right?
Nii-san, can I get some more rice?
Yes.
- Ah, let me- - Do not bother.
Because it's the rice I made for you.
Please.
How much do you want to eat?
Is this enough? Huh?
More.
Ah.
- See, give it like... - Eh?
- Aiya~ more! Give more! - Okay.
- A mess. More~! - Still not enought?
More~
Mess it more~
- Get it more~! - Yes.
There's still a crack.
But but- being rice farmers are hard, right?
Cheap foreign rice is overflowing in the market.
I heard that the number of rice farmers is decreasing year by year.
Are you also experiencing an increase in abandoned land?
- Hun! - Eh?
Nii-san, you see ... This rice I made,
Do you know how much this cost for one cup of tea?
- Eh? - How much?
Ah ...
- Is it about 150 yen? - Booo!
26 yen!
It's 26 yen for one cup of tea!
Is it cheaper or expensive? Which is it?
- It's cheaper. - See?
That's for one cup of tea rice,
If the price rises by just another 3 yen,
it will make it easier for farmers.
Farmers are really hard.
Umm ...
Thank you so much.
For what?
For telling me.
From now on I will eat rice while cherished it.
Nii-san, sorry but,
Can you make me rice ball with this?
Eh?
I'm glad it suits your taste.
- I'll make a big rice ball. - Thank you.
How many will you bring?
Hmm~ Three.
You really eat well.
I want to give it to my person at home too.
Aah.. person at home .. huh?
Yes. It's my husband~ hihi.
Ah! You're already ...
.. married, apparently?
Hello?
Ossu~ sorry. Can you come out now?
Huh? What's wrong?
Eiji is ... quitting the band.
Huh?
- Sorry. I'm late. - Yo.
So what did you mean by 'quitting'?
I suddenly got an email saying that Eiji leaves the band.
- Huh? Why? - Dunno.
Although we both sent him a lot of emails, we don't get a reply.
We called many times, still no response.
Hey, If we couldn't really get in touch with him like this,
What should we do for the next live?
Gonna cancel it?
Hey, hey.
I can't book other bands anymore, okay.
I see ...
Today earlier,
I passed by Eiji here.
Seriously?
Eh. Did he say something?
I remember now, about that guy who wearing hat.
I think I know who he is.
No, no. Please stop with such unrelated talk, Manager.
- It's not that kind of air right now- - This is not unrelated,
That guy with hat is from a record company.
It seems that Eiji and that guy were talking.
And that is
the talk that has something to do with this.
Did he pull him out?
No, no, no. No way, no way, no way.
No such. He's not that kind of type.
He's not the type that can go to a coffee shop by himself, right?
I'm not sure about that, but,
- It's definitely not that, right. - It's not, right?
Yeah, surely.
- No way, no way. - That's not it.
Solo debut.
Hm?
What do you mean by that?
You mean, he was talking about that?
[I'm sorry for suddenly say selfishly. But I wanna seriously aim for music. I'm really sorry.]
You know what?
It's because you've been always doing that salaryman thing like forever.
Stop it.
Sorry.
Why are you even apologizing.
Sorry.
Huh? Still outside?
Hmm, yeah.
Lemme guess, you're not feeling well, right?
Hmm... well.
As I thought. I can tell from that kind of voice, yknow.
Cheer up!
Thanks.
So, what did you make today?
Today was ginger pork and perilla mixed rice.
Eehh~! That's good! I wanna eat!
Tomoko is always cheerful, huh.
Thank you.
No, I didn't praise you.
Oh right, onigiri might still be left.
Eh? Bring it here.
No, that's impossible.
If you running from home now, you will be in time.
I can't, there's no plane either.
No but, what kind of talk is this?
Huh? Onigiri talk.
