UNO SHOHEI

Kimi ga haita shiroi iki ga ima yukkuri kaze ni notte Misty white breaths you exhale, now gently riding on the wind

Sora ni ukabu kumo no naka ni sukoshi zutsu kiete yuku Into the clouds in the sky, gradually fading away

Toku takai sora no naka de te o nobasu shiroi kumo From up above in the sky white clouds reach down

Kimi ga haita iki o sutte pokkari to ukan deru To inhale your exhaled breaths that float by

At the end of the day, when people are rushing home... Kimi ga haita iki o sutte pokkari to ukan deru To inhale your exhaled breaths that float by

...That's when my day starts. Kimi ga haita iki o sutte pokkari to ukan deru To inhale your exhaled breaths that float by

...That's when my day starts. Zutto mukashi no koto no yoda ne Always seems like a thing of the past

Zutto mukashi no koto no yoda ne Always seems like a thing of the past

Kawamo no ue o kumo ga nagareru Clouds passing over a flowing river

My business hours start from midnight to 7 am.

People call my restaurant 'the late night diner.'

[Pork Miso Soup Set ¥600, Beer ¥600, Sake ¥500, Shochu ¥400, Alcoholic drinks are limited to 3 servings]

These are the only items on the menu. [Pork Miso Soup Set ¥600, Beer ¥600, Sake ¥500, Shochu ¥400, Alcoholic drinks are limited to 3 servings]

If one orders something aside from these...

...I'll make it if I can.

Such is my business philosophy.

[MESHIYA]

Do customers come? You ask... There's quite a number who do.

Wabi-Sabi Subs presents: SHINYA SHOKUDO Season 3 Ep 24: "Red Pickled Ginger Tempura"

- Is it okay? - Slowly, slowly...

- Okay, okay. - I said slow down!

- Go! Okay, okay... - Is it okay?

- Yeah, it's fine. - Thanks!

- See ya. - Thanks for the help!

Why does he always passes through here?

Delicious! I guess it's still summer, huh?

Such a nice sound...

It'll be the festival around here soon, right?

We'll come and wear yukata* here, Master! (*light kimono)

Oh, you're not happy about that?

It's just that smoke got in my eyes.

Komichi-kun, you don't look so well today, huh.

Well you always look like that though...

He's suffering, y'know.

Eh? Cirrhosis of the liver?

Could it be that you have the same thing that we suffer from?

Are you in love? With whom? What kind of person? Is she older? Younger?

Is she a full-time employee? Or non-regular?

Aren't you guys treating this like one of your vulgar marriage huntings?

This guy is similar but different.

Well, excuse us.

Originally, Komichi had asked me for help at the start.

What do you mean by "similar but different".

I'm sorry, Master for always asking for a favor...

I used to make these when I worked part-time in a street stall a long time ago.

I also bought these. Please use it.

It's okay. 'Cause I have mine.

Oh, of course.

What do you think, Kasumi-san? Master can cook kushi-age (deep fried skewers), right?

It ain't "kushi-age". It's "kushi-katsu".

Kasumi-chan sometimes shows up at my shop; she's a Naniwa* girl. (*former name of Osaka)

This is the girl Kochimi-kun is pining for.

Oh, right. You call it "kushi-katsu" in Osaka, huh?

It's called "kushi-katsu" everywhere.

In order to please the girl he's in love with...

...he orders Osaka specialties for her but...

But even though Tokyo kushi-age is all classy, it tastes all the same.

Well, when compared to the authentic...

I like Master's kushi-age.

It's kushi-katsu.

It seems they can't see eye to eye.

Oww, oww, hot!

You're kinda clumsy too, eh? Mister.

- This is a bit... Excuse me... - Oh, okay. [Pharmacy, 9 am opening]

Okay, here we go...

Yep.

That was nice... Can you smile a bit more?

- Smile. - Okay, here we go...

Oh, thanks thanks...

Sorry for asking you to come out so late!

Oh, it's okay. Don't worry about it.

- So where is it? - This way, sir.

Right this way.

Looks nice.

Please, right this way. It's close.

Uh... oh, here?

No, over here.

Ide-san is the president of the pharmacy, and has branched out into Tokyo...

He has asked me to take pictures for a publicity magazine.

Well, he asked me for help...

He told me he is at his wit's end with a girl from Osaka.

I too will give her a good talk...

After that you and her will get along well, it'll be a breeze!

Thank you. President, would you like some beer?

Will you be paying?

- Of course. - Well, good. Don't mind if I do.

Okay. Master, beer.

- Two glasses. - Sure thing.

- President. - Huh?

People from Osaka really do that, huh?

What the heck are ya doin...

Bang!

That ain't right.

Your timing is totally wrong.

It's difficult.

We use sophisticated technology when physical performance is called into question.

There may be the Tokyo Olympics scoring competition.

If so, I'll be scheduled to be the Jury President.

Will you be getting tickets for the new National Stadium? It's still 6 years from now though...

It'll be a cinch. No problem. Do you want to see the 100 meter dash?

No... the women's high jump, if you please.

That's a good one.

Thanks for waiting.

Welcome.

- Kasumi-san. - I came just as promised.

What are we gonna eat today?

- Oh, is this the girl? - Yes.

Where in Osaka are you from?

What? Is this guy your sponsor?

You can trust me.

But before that, Komichi-kun has only been treating you...

...but you haven't even given him your cell phone nor email address.

Aintcha being too cruel?

Society is interdependent. It's a give and take.

Beer and this... make tempura out of it.

Am I gonna fry it as is?

Oh, slice em diagonally... then plop em in the oil.

She's quite a formidable gal but...

...I find it challenging.

Okay.

How cool is that...

Thanks for waiting.

What is that?

Beniten*. (*Benishoga or Red pickled ginger Tempura)

Beniten?

Then you began to stock up with benishoga?

Yeah. I buy even those pesky items that I don't have here.

That Naniwa Girl. What is she?

I asked Komichi-kun what she does but he said, he doesn't know.

She always doesn't pay for her bills here, right?

Isn't that a nice way of saying, she's a dine-and-dash girl?

Right~?

- Thanks for waiting. - Benishoga Tempura...

Would you like some?

No thanks.

Benishoga is good if it goes with yakisoba but...

The red food coloring looks odious, doesn't it?

I wonder what ingredients they put into it?

I heard they put that in soups in stand-and-eat soba shops in Akihabara and Asakusa.

- Mm! I can see why... - Yes! Yes!

It does work!

Indeed...

...it has no shadow (boring and featureless).

In Osaka, they normally sell these as side dishes...

It seems they often eat it at home.

That's impossible. I wonder if they're born poor over there.

Wait, you don't have to say it that far! (Note: he suddenly speaks in Osaka dialect)

Kou-chan... you're...

I have come here to eat dinner.

♫ Kon'na yoru daremoga warai uka re teru kisetsu Such seasonal evening with everyone laughing merrily

♫ Sake o nomi, uta o utai, shinda yo ni yoruru no sa Drinking and singing songs, until the night dies

♫ Doko made mo, doko made mo Wherever, wherever

♫ Tabi wa hatenaku tsudzuku ka Will the journey end or continue

♫ Deau saki de warai ai To laugh and get along with people you'll meet ahead

♫ Wakareru toki ne In another time

Chief! Beniten for me too.

Sorry but I'm all out.

I have some other minced stuff though. I could fry that up for you if you like.

I don't want that. Missy...

Can you share one with me?

- These are mine. - How much did you pay for it?

One million yen. (In Osaka shops, they would jokingly refer to 1 yen as 1 million yen, 5 yen = 5 million yen and so forth)

How cheap, huh? (In Osaka shops, they would jokingly refer to 1 yen as 1 million yen, 5 yen = 5 million yen and so forth)

Well, then. I'm done.

- Komichi-kun, you pick up the tab, okay? - Huh? But the other day...

That was for the other day. Now is now.

Circumstances always changes.

You want an Olympic platinum diamond ticket, doncha?

Oh...

Mister. Your wig is showing.

Don't say stupid things. This ain't a wig.

She's right. There's no reason to wear such an obvious wig, right?

Uh... no... um...

I think it's better if you take it off.

She's really an interesting gal...

Here.

Thanks.

- Welcome. - Hello.

- Can I also have Beniten? - Good for one person?

No no, I usually order half, right?

Who'd pay 400 yen for such a thing...

I used to pay 5 yen for each piece.

Sure thing.

And also some cold tea.

President, your head...

- Oh, you noticed? - I could see it.

You're a breath of fresh air.

As merchants say, "It's bad, if you're afraid of change."

Ide-san... Take only 3 toothpicks here.

Come on, don't be so stingy.

The owner here is so stingy.

Well, Missy, whatchu think?

- About what? - About this.

I wonder if it's more interesting if you wear a wig?

But it looks cute.

Cute?

It suits you. It's like Billiken-san*, when he grants your wish... (*Good luck image of a bald, smiling man)

How about it, Missy? You want to be my mistress? If you want money, I have plenty.

My mom said...

"Don't become just a cheap mistress."

Well, goodbye. Pay for my tab, okay?

She really is one interesting gal...

If you've grown bored of such Osaka dialect exchange...

...be on your guard. Disaster strikes when you least expect it.

- Thanks for waiting. - Thank you.

C'mon, let's just try it out once. As they say...

..."you can't judge a horse until you've ridden it", right?

I've already cured my gum disease.

Your nose is like a marshmallow.

- Good evening. - Welcome!

Honey!

When you said you'd be working late...

...I knew you're going out occasionally.

I- I wasn't doing anything...

Eh? How come you know I'm here...

I ordered plenty of detectives to watch you closely.

I've even called former CIA agent, Snowden.

Really? It's globalization, ain't it?

You dumb stupid scum!

How old do you think you are? You sex-obsessed fiend.

I'll get yours, Mister.

How pathetic!

Let's go home! Goodness...

- Ah! Your change! - Oh, right.

Here's 5 million yen.

Oh, you're learning well.

That was good.

You're such a loser!

I enjoyed the service. If you'll excuse me.

Honey~!

It had been a while since that uproar...

It's good that it was found out early.

Just focus on having it cured through surgery.

Don't say such a thing so easily.

If the surgery fails...

If I'll lose my crown jewels...

...there'll be nothing to look forward to in life anymore.

- Missy. - What?

I'll have surgery the day after tomorrow.

If so, I will no longer be able to satisfy you.

Please... Can you spend the night with me?

President! You said you're gonna stop being irresponsible...

Fine.

Well, let's go. Pay for my tab.

Um... uh... I'm done. Thanks.

There's a chance that he lied about having surgery, right? Master.

Hotel's over there.

- You still don't know yet? - Don't worry.

If it's spending money, I'll give you plenty to splurge on.

"Don't become just a cheap mistress..."

That's what my mom told me long before she went to heaven.

Right! Let's both go to heaven too, you and I.

So let's go. Come on.

Look and you'll know right away.

Know what?

Beniten...

...is the flavor I associate with my mom and my fatherless family...

It's the taste of poverty.

Even if it's for being nothing but getting stabbed in the back...

...it's bad if you don't express your gratitude...

...Dad.

Who are you?

There's no way you'd know, huh. I was just born during that time.

What are you saying?

Take a look at my face. There's a trace of it, right?

25 years ago, the woman you discarded in Higashi-Sumiyoshi...

...was my mom.

Thanks.

Oh! This is super-duper good!

Your surgery was a success...

From here on, focus on the business, okay?

I know that. You don't have to say anything more.

I won't be here if it weren't for you.

You can count on me from here on too.

You really are a devil.

Oh, wait... it shifted too much...

What is this, no message but only a picture of beniten.

Is this some kind of cryptic message?

Gimme a break, Honey...

I have really drawn the line between me and that girl. Please believe me.

If you've drawn the line, then you wouldn't be getting this, would you?

Well...

How much is this phone?

Ah~ 3,000 yen.

Well, then good.

When the asking price is like that in business...

...it's disgrace to a merchant's reputation.

Right?
