I'm sorry it's just based on my intuition 194 00:12:29,949 --> 00:12:36,287 but when I heard about the coal mine, it just came to me. 195 00:12:36,288 --> 00:12:40,291 But it just wasn't there when I heard about the bank. 196 00:12:41,994 --> 00:12:45,029 So unlike your father who was quite successful in Tokyo 197 00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:51,636 after the restoration, we may have different ways of finding 198 00:12:51,637 --> 00:12:56,207 the right time to do things. 199 00:12:59,612 --> 00:13:04,816 You're right. Now that you mention it, you're so right. 200 00:13:06,452 --> 00:13:08,987 We just started the coal mining business, and 201 00:13:08,988 --> 00:13:10,922 here I am going off again... 202 00:13:11,891 --> 00:13:16,661 I'm sorry. Once I think of something, I always rush headlong into it... 203 00:13:16,662 --> 00:13:18,062 That's okay. 204 00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:22,433 It's okay for you. 205 00:13:24,637 --> 00:13:28,173 I'm really glad I talked it over with you. 206 00:13:29,341 --> 00:13:32,443 It would be great if there's someone who you can 207 00:13:32,444 --> 00:13:38,149 talk things over with once I'm gone... 208 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,522 Master! Your guest is here. 209 00:13:44,523 --> 00:13:47,292 He is? He's here. 210 00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:53,031 This is the first beer sold by a Japanese. 211 00:13:54,166 --> 00:13:55,133 Beer? 212 00:13:55,134 --> 00:13:59,304 Is this what Mr. Shibutani from Dojima made? 213 00:13:59,305 --> 00:14:00,839 Is this it? 214 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,142 A western sake? I wonder how it tastes. 215 00:14:04,143 --> 00:14:05,343 Asa... 216 00:14:15,287 --> 00:14:16,554 It exploded. 217 00:14:16,555 --> 00:14:17,822 This is terrible. 218 00:14:18,757 --> 00:14:19,824 Put it down. 219 00:14:23,495 --> 00:14:28,399 This is a time when the Japanese were heading for a new era... 220 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,134 This is beer. 221 00:14:30,135 --> 00:14:33,438 Asa's adventure has just started.
