Okay.

It's been a long while since I saw you making sushi.

Do you think that I got better than before?

I don't know. I don't rememberthe past.

It looks good.

Please do a serious evaluation.

I know.

How is it?

Umm.. 65 points.

Aha, You have not changed.

You asked me to be serious.

Well...the balance of vinegar

and hardness of grip is not enough.

Ifs nothing compared to your absolute taste.

Absolute taste...

No, this is no good. it is not formed right.

Father, isn't it enough today?

I have a plan with my friend.

What are you saying?

Listen. You have an absolute taste which only one of millions people have.

Keep brushing your skill.

It becomes a waste of treasure.

I hate my father.

My father forced me to make sushi

even though I didn't want to be a sushi chef.

Sakiko. Lefs get out of this town together.

L'm full.

Okay.

If she helps this store, this store will be success.

Yes, you are right.

What are you going every day?

Thafs none of your business.

Ifs polished, isn't it?

The boss knows you'll come back anyway.

He sharpens this knife every day for you.

He might be selfish,

but he feels happy that you came home.

I don't think so.

He doesn't express himself well.

How old.

Sorry. We are not open yet.

This store is dirty, still.

Sakiko, you are home? Where are you?

That woman...

Who is she?

She is a daughter of Jogasaki Group, Jogasaki Harumi.

She is Sakikds classmate and used to come here.

Harumi.

Sakiko. Long time no see.

I heard that Nakajima broke up with you.

You are really helpless.

What do you want?

My Jogasaki group expands our chain Sushi stores.

We plan to build the first store here.

We'll pull this old store down. Hey, Yamada.

Yes.

Yamada.

Yes.

Here's money. This must be enough for this store.

Sakiko, ask your father to accept this.

Don't be fool.

What are you doing?

Stop. Stop.

Bitch.

Get out of here.

Please stop.

Stop it.

Please go home today.

You'll see what happens

if you fight with us.

Are you still up? Go sleep.

I don't make sushi no matter what you do.

I don't ask you now.

Okay. Be careful of that woman.

Do you worry about me?

Not really.

Don't worry. I vvon't let the woman take over this store.

Do you want a drink?

No. Early, tomorrow.

Don't drink too much.

Fool.

What do you mean you have only this?

What can I server with this.

Sorry. Don't blame me.

Hey, brother. This man is from Sushigen.

Yes.

Hello.

You...

You seem to have a trouble.

Indeed. Oh, you have a good tuna.

Why don't you give him this?

How about 10,000,000 yen?

He can not afford.

No, he can't.

We can't live

if we disobey them.

Jogasaki group prevents us

from getting good fish.

We have no choice but to use these.

Hey, boss. Tuna please.

Sorry. We don't have tuna today.

VVhy?

Well... bonito.

Sorry, we don't

Eh? What do you have?

You don't have tuna and bonito...

What do you have?

Arch shell.

Arch shell...

Cockroach! Here, here.

Hey, wait up.

Excuse me.

Don't Wake them up.

Hey brother.

Why is Harumi doing this to thie store?

You did this without knowing the reason?

What do you know?

Of course, I do.

Harumi and Sakiko loved with the same man.

Ha?

Harumi and Sakiko used to be good friends.

But they fell in love with the same man named Nakajima.

Nakajima chose Sakiko.

Then after, Harumi started harassing Sakiko and Nakajima.

Thafs why they didn't get along with each other.

I can't believe Harumi had such a bad memory.

Well. Do it quick.

/-\h.

All rotten. Did they do this?

Boss, boss. Are you alright?

L'm fine.

Yohei, go ask other stores to share fish.

Boss? Boss?

Father?

Boss?

Father?

Harumi. About Sushigen...

Aren't you going too far?

Ifs not enough.

She doesn't care at all.

Isee...

l'll make you a chef of Harumi sushi

Thank you very much.

Please do this to me.

Yes.

Good, Senkichi. You are the best.

Sister? Sis? I did it. I did it.

What are you doing? Don't you knock?

Sorry.

So what?

The master of Sushigen collapsed.

You did it.

He has been not Well for a year.

And this trouble makes him worse.

I vvon't forgive them.

Hey, Sakiko..

What?

L'm sorry that

I forced my dream on you.

I really feel sorry for you.

Can you forgive me?

Why are you saying this now?

You are right. l'll give up on the store.

You don't have to worry about me.

You can live your life.

Don't say that now.

H9)'-

Old man.

Catch anything?

Not at all. See, l only caught this small fish.

This fish is called Konosirus punctatu.

Konosirus punctatus?

Yes. A child of Shad.

Shad? Of Sushi?

Yes. This fish is called different names as child.

This fish changes the names as it grows,

Konosirus punctatus, Shad...

it is the best season of this fish.

You know Well even you are young.

This is what my father told me.

Oh, I see.

My father loves fish.

He used to teach me about fish

when we were fishing together.

Good morning.

Sakiko?

I can't do well.

Hey Yoichi, teach me.

Yes. This is not good. Well, your cut surface is not clean.

What?

You don't want to destroy cells of fish.

A clean cut surface keeps tasty of fish inside.

This effect taste of Sushi.

You know well.

Because l've trained for 10 years.

Yo, you look happy.

Of course. You make sushi with me.

This is the happiest moment.

It doesn't mean I forgave my father.

If the store was closed because of Harumi,

ifd be my fault.

I don't want to be beaten by her.

The taste of Sushi comes from

the harmony of vinegared rice and ingredients.

Sakiko, you need to remember the form

which your father told you when you are a kid.

The more you grip, the harder rice become.

Heat of the hands make fish dry and lose flavor.

Making sushi with five steps is basic form,

but you can make it with four steps.

Please make up on your hands.

No, don't grate wasabi too fast. You should grate it slowly as if you draw round circles.

Wasabi gains its flavor

as it is exposed to air.

Rolls don't look good

if the cut surface is shaky.

You have to cut

without hesitation.

Next step is decoration.

Sakiko made this sushi. Please eat this.

Sakiko did?

Ifs not bad, but need to be improved.

I see.

Yohei, I have never eaten such a delicious sushi before.

Boss

Here's squid.

It is unusual that female chef makes Sushi.

The sushi taste better if the pretty girl makes.

Do I make it for you?

I get tired of You's sushi.

Can I have squid, Sakiko?

Yes.

Sakikds good.

Harumi!

Don't you knock?

Thafs the story.

I see. Sakiko is tougherthan I expected.

The enemy is so tough.

Harumi, lefs make this fight fair.

Cheers.

We are getting more fish thanks to the boss.

We can hang on for a while.

Thafs good.

Sakiko. You are tired, aren't you?

Yes. Little bit. But l feel fulfilled. What?

Well... Sakiko. l've had feeling for you for a long time.

I knew it.

Really?

Well...l didn't like Sushi chef.

Will you run this store with me?

I don't know.

No. It is not right.

Sakiko... I... I...

I can't.

Sorry.

Can't you forget about him?

Sorry.

Don't be sorry. l'll wait for you.

L've been waiting for you for a long time.

Sakiko? Are you there?

Harumi.

Sorry for bothering you. Excuse me.

I can't believe you move on to a next guy

right after you broke up with Nakajima.

What are you doing here?

It is the time to take over the store.

Don't be fool. I don't let you take over this store.

I knew that you'd say so. Senkichi.

Yes.

Oh, thafs legendary Tsubame three-step.

It is too fast that fish doesn't realize to be cut.

Who is this guy?

L'll give up on this store

if you win Sushi battle with this genuine Sushi chef, Senkichi Umiyama.

But if you lose, you give me this sotre.

Why did you accept her offer?

Ifs impossible to win this battle. Sakiko.

I feel that I can change if I win this battle.

I can forget about my father and Nakajima, then reborn.

I feel it.

We only have such small fish.

This head of Tuna. You can't make sushi with this.

Yo, don't give up.

The small fish can be good sushi depending on the way to make.

Is this shad?

Yes. I like shad the best of my fathers sushi.

Yes, the boss's shed is the best.

I tried to steal the taste, but I failed.

Try this.

Good! The harmony of vinegar and salt is perfect.

I just imitate my fathefis taste.

My absolute taste still exists.

Thafs Sakiko.

People say taste of shed tells skill of a chef.

But I can not win this battle,

only with copying my father.

I feel good. You are good, Senkichi.

Ifs my pleasure.

Senkichi. I want to do it. Please, please. Come on.

With your gold finger and high quality ingredients

Jogasaki group is collecting, we defeat Sakiko.

Are you okay? Whafs bothering you?

Nothing. l'm fine.

I see. There's nothing I can do, though.

You caught many today.

Only small fish..

Shsd, you told me.

Don't underestimate shad.

Sorry.

Whafs the matter?

H9)'-

What?

Give me this fish.

You can not win with this fish.

Konosirus punctatus is a child of Shad.

It means it is not mature enough.

Don't underestimate Konosirus punctatus. Shut up.

But it is Wait. What are you doing?

Why do you mix Vinegars?

You shouldn't do this.

Shut up!

Ifs impossible.

I did it. This is it.

You'll make two kinds of sushi.

No ingredients are restricted as long as you make sushi.

Please make your best sushi.

The Winner will be determined by these judges here from various industries.

Let me introduce

The greatest movie director, Mr. Akira Korosaba.

L'm Kurosaba.

The actress, Ms. Shima lwashita.

The famous psychics, Ms. Kazunoko Hosoki.

Ready, 9°-

Oh, ifs Tuna.

There are foie grass.

What kind of Sushi he's making?

Everyone gets surprised.

Ifs impossible

to find such a tuna.

That foie grass is imported from French chef.

It cost more than one hundred per gram.

Look at Sakikds fish.

What a small fish. Cute.

She has a head of tuna.

She might grill it.

What a small grilled tuna. What is that?

Sakiko. ifs impossible to win this game with that ingredients.

What a skill.

Thafs a legendary tsubame three-step technique.

I've heard this before.

This is the first time to see the technique.

Wow. lfs too fast to see his move.

She's good for a girl.

But she's not my enemy.

Father, look. This... this is my sushi.

Time is over.

Lefs move on to the tasting.

First presentation, Senkichi's sushi.

This tuna is very delicious. The best harmony between favor of meat and sweetness of fatty meat.

It melts in the mouth.

This is the ultimate tuna.

Of course. Don't mix up with other tuna.

They spent lots of money.

The entire judges appreciate it.

Next, Sakikds presentation.

Oh, this is Tuna, too.

It looks like simple red meat.

Great. Whafs this?

It has a rich aftertaste even though red meat.

L've never had this tuna like this before.

What is going on?

It can't be possible.

Ifs impossible for them to get a good tuna.

The judges lost their sense of taste.

Which part of tuna did you use?

This is a pre-head of tuna.

My father told me that the best part of tuna

is what has the most amount of exercise.

Usually this portion is thrown away at the markets.

Did you get it?

Sorry.

I didn't realize that.

Don't excuse.

Ouch.

Pre-head... Well done, Sakiko. We still have hope.

The second presentation.

This looks beautiful. This is wonderful.

The flavor of Foie grass and vinegared rice make great taste.

The caviar is on the top.

L really like the flavor of caviar and the texture.

What is this source?

This is truffle source.

The three delicacies in the world are combined as one sushi.

This is revolution of sushi.

I felt rushed at the first round, but thafs Senkichi.

It seems they don't have to eat Sakikds sushi.

Harumi.

Let Sakiko shame.

Here's Sakikds susi.

Is this vinegared fish?

Is this Shad?

After eating that sushi,

I've no interest for this.

What? Whafs going on?

They cant say anything because it tastes terrible.

I can't say anything because it tastes so good.

What?

Vinegar. Hey you. What kind of vinegar is it?

I mixed up with over 50 kinds of vinegar such as Rice vinegar, apple vinegar...

Wow, blend of vinegar

l've never heard of it.

This is the best vinegar l've ever had.

I see. Sakiko made the best vinegar

mixing up with absolute ratio.

This can't be done by only Sakikds absolute taste.

You guys did it again.

I completely forgot about vinegar.

Don't worry this time.

Even though the vinegar is good, the fish is so small...

Yes.

No, no, no. This is notjust double layered vinegard Shad.

One layer is Konosirus punctatus, and the other one is Shad, the parent of Konosirus punctatus.

It makes delicious taste combined with

bland flatty of Konosirus punctatus and flovor of shad.

It melts in the mouth insisting each flavor.

Nigiri of kohada and shinko.

This sushi is feeling of Sakiko.

Father, this is my sushi.

No one can predict the result.

Here's the announcement. Please raise your plate.

Are we okay?

Don't worry.

We've already bribed all judges.

Really? You are sometime useful.

This sushi was good, but comparing to foie grass syshi.

Indeed. Compared with the truffle source, the vinegar is nothing.

I... I agree.

Shad is minnow after all.

The Winner is Senkichi Umiyama with 3 points.

Shit.

Sakiko, I won.

L'll take over your store as promised.

Harumi. Don't cheat.

Grand father.

CEO?

That old man.

He is CEO of Jogasaki group. Do you know him?

You have nothing to do with this.

My father left sushi chain with me.

Don't yell. You are sushi chef, aren't you?

Is this the fish I caught?

Yes. Would you like one?

Thank you. Umm..this is good. You can't underestimate minnow.

Comparing to this, foie grass is too fatty.

What is gourmet? Don't you have pride?

Don't bother, grand father.

Harumi, who would eat sushi which cost one hundred?

Sushi is dish for ordinary people.

You don't understand business.

I can't leave my store with you for a while.

What?

Hey, Senikich. Try this.

Harumi.. It seems thatl lost this battle.

What are you saying?

That's just an old shop.

Here we go.

It's so good. I love Sakikds sushi.

Good, good.

Harum.

Thafs enough. I don't need such an old store.

Come to my store to eat my sushi again.

You. Don't fool with me.

Harumi, Harumi, wait.

Leave me alone.

You'll get a cold if you stay here.

Leave me alone. This is your fault.

I know. I have to apology.

Forget it. I lost again.

You are a good girl.

I know it no matter what people say.

Sakiko.

Here come groom and bride.

Brother, brother. ls Harumi Senkichfs girl friend?

Didn't you know it?

N0, I didn't.

Lefs have them kiss.

Kiss.. Kiss... Kiss...
