"I'll tell you my conclusion." "The cuisine here is delicious." "However, this is not a French restaurant!" "Mom, I can't protect it." "I can't do anything..." "I'll be a genuine French chef now." "I'll make this place a number one French restaurant, and beat the hell out of that guy!" "Add the gastrique here..." "Awesome!" "The taste become so different!" "Morning!" "What the hell are you wearing?" "'What am I...'?" "This is a normal chef coat." "I bought it cheap off the internet." "I bought more for you guys too." "Wear them." "No way, man." "All-white like this?" "Not me." "Looks awful." "It'll look awesome on you!" "You have to wear this if you want to be a true chef." "It's hygienic and it'll make us look like we're good at cooking." "Why can't we keep things the way they were?" "Because, doing it however we wanted made people look down on us." "We have to wear high quality clothes too, from now." "What's this 'high quality' about?" "Hello!" "I've been waiting for you, Nagatani." "So, this is your restaurant." "You're seriously naming this place "Harapeko Kitchen"?" "Stop talking about the place name." "Oh, hello." "Hello." "These are my friends, a space designer and an interior designer." "They'll design the place based on what you have in mind and your budget." "This is really a warehouse." "Well, I did the interior and plumbing in a rush before I opened the restaurant, so it's become a bit of a mess." "A mess?" "The place has to look cleaner, I guess." "Huh?" "It's better if the guests who come for a date, or come with family can feel relaxed and have fun here." "Couples or family guests, huh." "I see." "What?" "We're not Disneyland." "It makes me mad!" "He spoke so harshly about the interior we did together!" "I'd definitely won't wear this!" "This isn't a school lunch!" "The new name should be..." "Harapeko Kitchen or..." "Harapeko Canteen." "That sounds good for this place." "People who aren't blessed with a tongue sensitive to flavours, or people who eat just to fill their stomach are people who cannot become a gastronom or a gourmet." "No matter how delicious the food placed before those types of people is, it's like putting pearls before swine, they can't appreciate it." "This is it." "Let's enter." "Three guests, French and Japanese, it looks like Machuron's investigator, just came in..." "It's lunch time and yet they ordered a la carte..." "Not to mention, they ordered meat and fish, three of each..." "They're definitely the ones." "They're the investigators in disguise for "Machuron" restaurant guide book, which is published by Machuron, a French company." "It's done." "Thank you." "Something like "Machuron" never came during the previous restaurant's time." "Among the restaurants that Mr. Aso has produced, three of them are regularly published in "Machuron"." "So, this restaurant too?" "Please enjoy your meal." "What's the matter?" "Are the foods lacking something?" "No." "I told you." "Be confident." "Being arrogant is a first class chef's true nature." "Excuse me." "The guests want to ask about the cuisine." "Alright, it's your turn." "Make sure you smile." "Yes." "We used the best ingredients and had the best food arrangement today." "I've prepared everything." "And I have confidence." "Why?" "I can't get the memory of that taste off my tongue." "You'll keep running the place?" "I started reading Mom's recipe book, there are so many kinds of seasoning and cooking styles I didn't know about." "I want to add new things to the menu." "But the restaurant's name has been taken away." "Yeah." "That's why, I'll study more, become a first class chef, and I'll get the name back one day." "It's not going to be that easy, you know." "Huh?" "Well..." "Sorry, I can't go to see a movie with you tonight." "It's fine." "I should to get back to work now." "Okay." "Looks great." "So cold, but it's delicious!" "Didn't you feel awkward when he told you he likes you as a friend?" "I like you too." "I don't have any female friends like you, either." "I wonder if Eisuke-san is okay?" "Le Petit Chou was a name that meant something for both Eisuke-san and his mother." "So he must be in shock." "I think.. you should keep going with that unrequited love." "Keep going?" "Start anew, and enjoy your feelings of unrequited love." "No way!" "Can I do that?" "You can." "Imagination is always more fun than reality." "Don't tell me, you were rejected by that senior of yours?" "No." "He only asked me, "Do you want to be my 3rd girlfriend?"." "What's that?" "Men in the real world are terrible." "Maybe I should go for Taku-san." "Judging a man by his looks again?" "Nana, haven't you learned anything?" "I think he'll be here soon." "Shiroyama-san!" "Hi!" "Hello!" "Taku." "What are you wearing?" "Oh, this?" "I've been wearing this lately." "Hello." "Here's a gift for you." "Go ahead." "No way." "Okay." "Go ahead!" "Our food today looks so artistic." "But, it gets boring if we have this everyday." "They look too artistic, it's hard to eat them." "Deal with it!" "This is an experiment for the future menu." "When I was a child, my mom annoyed me coz she made me eat experimental foods too." "But this kind of effort is required, so we can make true French cuisine." "C'mon now, eat!" "Anise-Orange flavored Crab and Scallop, and Spicy Cheek Meat with Vegetables." "Thank you." "I want to normally eat curry or set meal." "This is the first step to make our place a first class restaurant." "You too, taste it quickly." "Taku won't be here starting today, if you don't move in double speed, our restaurant won't get running." "Oh right." "Sorry." "How is it?" "This one has quite an unusual taste, but this one's good." "It tastes different than the usual." "It tastes complicated." "It does." "Not only chilli, but you added hot paprika in this sauce too." "It tastes sweet." "You can tell?" "I made it spicy using paprika." "It's getting close to the taste I have in mind." "But maybe I should make the meat more tender." "Well, it may be delicious, but these are too rich." "Yeah, I can't eat these for lunch." "The best beef meals are sukiyaki or yakiniku." "Come on!" "You guys are supposed to be French chefs." "Oh, and Kenta..." "Starting today, you better slice the potato exactly 2mm." "You sliced them 2.1mm yesterday." "Size differences affect how the heat spreads too." "And, Tsuyoshi, there were small bones left in the sardines you grated." "Be careful next time." "It would be awful if a guest got a bone stuck in their throat." "You can swallow small bones together with the rice." "Stop with the rice." "French originally serve baguette." "Next month we will stop serving rice." "What the...!" "?" "I get that you were upset to hear the stuff that the creepy guy said, but..." "Oh, and one of you should learn to be a sommelier." "Sommelier?" "Yeah, a proper French restaurant needs a sommelier who can tell which wine would go well with the menu the guests order." "I guess Tsuyoshi would be good." "You hold your liquor well." "Well, as long as I'm allowed to drink..." "Alright!" "Then, it's Tsuyoshi!" "How about the dessert?" "Of course we'll include them in the menu too." "Dessert is important for a genuine French restaurant." "Yay!" "Can I do it?" "Oh, don't worry." "I'll make it." "From now on I'll stop saying 'shit' inside the restaurant." "So, you guys should also put on the chef's coats when we open." "That way this restaurant's atmosphere will change." "Why must you take everything so seriously?" "They aren't much, but we do have our own regular guests already." "This time, I'll definitely make this place number one so that no one can complain one bit about it." "The new menu was very delicious." "But I got nervous, for some reason..." "I didn't feel my heart beating faster when I was eating it, but instead I got nervous..." "I couldn't tell how the taste was..." "Translator - yanie" "Editor - enggrrl, kimurafreak" "Gasterea is a modern restaurant located in a quiet residential area." "The chef was scouted by the famous restaurant owner, Mr. Aso from the kitchen of a famous restaurant in Lyon, La Francesca." "His name is Mr. Kashiwagi Ippei." "The cuisine is made based on tradition yet it has its own modern, radiant and beautiful feel." "Today's schedule is a restaurant in Nihonbashi, huh." "My stomach is full." "What do you think?" "Taku." "Yeah, actually I quite like that band." "Huh?" "Drugs?" "They were arrested due to misunderstanding." "Funny, huh." "Sorry." "Watch it." "Shit!" "Incredible!" "Knocked over by a horrible cyclist.... me, a man who represents a prestigious company!" "What's wrong, Monsieur?" "The guys look like they're in a bad mood." "Yes." "They've always had fun working while listening to rock music, before." "Let's try and talk about something happy." "Kenta-san." "How're your wedding plans?" "Yeah, since her parents approved of me, Toko wants to have the ceremony as soon as possible, so we're currently looking for a nice place in a rush." "Wedding ceremony, huh." "That's nice." "Where would you like to have it?" "A church?" "Or a resort hotel?" "Yeah, a hotel would be nice." "You can't." "This is a critical time for our restaurant." "Oh yeah." "Why don't you have a restaurant wedding here?" "People do that these days." "In stylish French restaurants." "Huh!" "?" "I won't do it at this kinda place." "What do you mean, "this kinda place"?" "I want to have my wedding in a nice place, and make it properly romantic!" "The hell with romantic." "You've always been like that." "You're the type of guy who gives a teddy bear music box to the girl you've loved since junior high." "No way." "That's cute." "Shut up." "And you're the type of guy who gives porn videos to your friends for their birthday!" "That's terrible." "Now, now." "Everyone calm down." "Yeah." "Oh right!" "So you guys have been close since junior high?" "No, we're not." "We just coincidentally went to the same school and formed a band together." "And last year, we just happened to catch influenza at the same time, and we put suppositories inside each other's buttocks." "I was the one who did it for you." "No, I did yours." "He was the one who did mine." "No way, you definitely couldn't do mine." "No, I did yours..." "What a random lovers' quarrel." "Really." "Oh?" "Welcome." "Who is that guy?" "Hey, Pops." "Don't bring a suspicious old man in here." "What do you mean suspicious?" "This gentleman is..." "Oh, actually I don't know who he is..." "But his glasses were run over by a bicycle, and he was splashed by a bucket of water from a cleaning guy as he passed by a building." "He's a very unfortunate man." "That's terrible." "I'll bring you a towel." "Excuse me, but what's your profession?" "I'm a..." "Machuron investigators may not reveal their identity in any situation." "I'm just a suspicious old man." "See?" "He is suspicious." "Now, now, don't say that." "There are many good people among French people." "Please have a seat." "Here you go." "Thank you." "What are you doing?" "The juice of grated cucumber is effective for cut wounds." "I picked this cucumber just this morning, it's still fresh and it has a very nice smell." "I hope the wound will heal soon." "So, you're a gastronom too." "Gastro... nom?" "Thank you." "Cute, little Gastronom." "Okay." "I need some pumpkins and turnips." "When you're free, get some of those at Oogusu's farm." "Hey, what's wrong with you guys!" "Why are you two ignoring me!" "?" "Did I do something to you guys!" "?" "Then, I'll go..." "No, Mutsuko-san, you don't have to." "You have to get the tables ready." "It's fine, I'll go." "Chie, help me out." "Okay!" "Please enjoy your meal." "We're a French restaurant." "French?" "Really?" "Yes." "Enjoy your meal." "Incredible!" "The pork lard melts in my mouth!" "Thank you, Monsieur." "I want to eat more of this chef's cooking!" "He wants more?" "We don't have anything else that we can serve for free." "Eisuke went out too." "What a shameless French man." "Don't say that, can't you manage something?" "The food made him so excited." "Consider this as a chance to strengthen good relations between Japan and France." "I don't care about that." "Oh yeah." "You didn't eat today's lunch, right?" "Right, we'll get fat if we eat like that everyday." "Only foreigners would eat that." "Okay, let's serve him that." "Chie, hurry up!" "We don't have much time!" "Coming!" "Let's imagine." "The pleasure of unrequited love is imagination." "Chie, hurry up!" "The movie will start soon!" "Wait for me, Eisuke-san." "My leg hurts." "Damn." "That's because you're wearing new shoes." "No, don't!" "This is embarrassing!" "Shut up!" "Just hold onto me." "That won't do." "It's not believable and tasteless." "My imagination is so bad." "It's on the same level as the shojo mangas I read in elementary school..." "Ow!" "So you kept your promise and changed the restaurant's name." "Thanks." "Too bad." "French cuisine is an art, to keep its tradition and yet advance." "Rock is an impulse, treachery, an opposition of that." "In other words, it's a destructive art." "The moment you devoted those hands to rock, your skill and sense as a chef died." "Harapeko Kitchen, huh." "It suits the place's appearance, in my opinion." "What a great timing." "I also wanted to thank you." "Thanks to you, I finally realized that cooking is my true dream." "It reminds me of the times I was writing songs." "What kind of lyrics and rhythms would be good?" "How can I convey the soul more?" "Can I make people excited with this song?" "Cooking and music are similar." "So, nothing really changed." "Being a chef is a valuable job that involves men's pride." "Listening to what you said, I finally realized that." "It's really fun to think of cooking now." "Everything was thanks to you." "Thank you." "I see." "You're quite confident." "Yes." "I'll destroy it someday." "Your restaurant." "That's a funny joke." "Eisuke-san, what kind of songs did you write?" "Why are you asking that all of a sudden?" "You just said that you were thinking of lyrics and melodys with such an effort, so..." "I should have listened to the CD that Taku-san gave me, more carefully." "What?" "So you listened to it?" "I listened but it was when I caught cold, so I don't remember much." "Please let me hear it once again." "Stupid." "I won't let you hear them again." "Why?" "Then, sing it here." "Stop joking." "Why should I sing it to you?" "Oh, don't tell me, they were all love songs?" "Shut up!" "Stop talking and push harder!" "C'mon!" "You're embarrassed." "So they are love songs." "Everytime I see Eisuke-san's new expression, everytime I hear his passion toward cooking..." "I love him more and more." "Me too." "I like you too." "You're a nice girl." "I don't have any female friends like you, either." "What a lucky person, his girlfriend is." "I can't imagine the future so it scares me." "I can't imagine marrying a chef, at all." "I could imagine marrying a musician." "Even if he's not famous, I can sincerely support him and I think it's wonderful to pursue a dream like that." "And I love his songs anyway." "Boasting about him again?" "But if you marry someone who's running a restaurant you have to be ready to help him out." "That's why I can't imagine that." "And I can't understand why he would think he can successfully run a restaurant." "Actually my parents are worried too." "Of course they are." "He's running such a place." "It's fine if it can end like a romantic movie that young people would watch." "They meet, things happens, they get to understand each other, and get married." "But it can't always happen like that for adults." "We have to think about daily expenses, family budget, insurance and money for old age." "He has turned 30, but things like that totally don't concern him." "But, this is exactly the romantic movie you're talking about, y'know." "It's fine." "I have to watch a dream once in a while." "That's what makes me a mature woman." "The hell with a restaurant wedding." "I'm getting more and more stupid here." "Sommelier's car-something, pino-something." "I can't remember names with more than 3 katakana characters." "But you can remember 'sommelier'." "Didn't he say he want to make this place as a restaurant for everyone?" "If he wants to make such a stylish first class restaurant, he shouldn't have asked us to join him in the first place." "The past was more fun." "We had rehearsals in that warehouse everyday." "Our performance was awful, though." "If only we had passed last year's Million Face, we would be something by now." "What's wrong?" "No, nothing." "Oh!" "Why don't we go drink?" "We're drinking already." "Eisuke." "Hm?" "What do you think about this?" "All of them lack something." "Basically, the "Harapeko" name itself sounds ridiculous, nothing goes with it, crap!" "Oh, sorry." "I suppose to quit the swearing." "Really?" "Actually, I think this name suits the restaurant." "Are you making fun of me?" "I'm back!" "Listen, listen." "I did it, you know, I did it." "I might join a guy and girl mixed, melodic death metal band." "But you can't sing metal." "Really?" "Maybe I should practice screaming and gutterals, huh?" "Oh yeah, how was Chie-chan doing?" "Is she doing well?" "Yeah, quite." "She's a hard worker." "Really." "OK!" "Then, I'll work hard too." "I failed, huh." "Sorry." "They like your voice but, they said they want a female vocalist." "I set my expectations too high, then." "It was your fault too, y'know." "If only you had stayed in ROCKHEAD," "Eisuke and the guys might have continued with the band too, and wouldn't be doing something like a restaurant." "Really?" "Nah, I think Eisuke... suits the current job more." "I mean..." "Eisuke is really good at cooking, and he even got himself a fanatic female fan." "He's so lucky... to have someone falling in love with him sincerely." "Who is it?" "Tell me, who is it?" "Shiroyama-chan!" "Oh hello." "Thanks for calling us here." "Long time no see, huh." "It's been a long time, indeed." "He's the producer, Tsurumi-san." "He was also one of the judges in Million Face." "Hello, hello, I'm Taku." "Oh, it's you?" "Yes." "Why, you're nice, nice, nice." "You have a nice vibe." "You're really good looking." "I get that alot." "From the girls." "So, how are the other members?" "You know, like the tall bassist." "Oh, everyone has quit music, and become chefs." "They quit music?" "Yes." "That's weird." "What?" "So Taku came?" "Yeah." "He helped me with the cauliflower harvest." "He said he won't be coming for a while, but he'd come sometimes to watch the vegetable's growth." "He amazes me." "I didn't know he had other interests besides the ladies." "I'm glad you guys noticed the charm of our farm which has been doing organic farming for 30 years and continues to grow good vegetables." "Eisuke-kun and Taku-kun..." "You guys really have good eyes!" "Right?" "Right?" "This would be the centerpiece of the spring vegetable salad." "But, Dad." "Don't you think Taku-san is in love with Sis?" "What do you mean?" "Young master." "The French gentleman yesterday, ate the leftovers, uh, no..." "I mean, he ate the food you made and praised it a lot." "Especially the beef cheek meat with red wine." "Really?" "Yes." "Your father said maybe that person is a gastronom." "By the way, what's gastronom?" "It's gourmet in French." "So, a French gourmet praised your cooking." "That's amazing." "Well..." "I had confidence in it, anyway." "Yeah... he was just a weird old man, though." "Yeah." "If you can eat that much for free, anyone would praise the food like that." "Hey!" "Why do you keep acting like this?" "Who did this?" "Didn't I tell you guys not to keep the vegetables in the upper rack?" "They'll get too cold and the taste will change." "You should properly wrap these too." "Wash your hands properly after you scratch your butt!" "Shut up!" "You're not my mom!" "This is my restaurant!" "Obey my orders!" "Wear the chef coats now." "I said, now!" "Sorry, but I have no intention of wearing them." "We're not true French chefs, after all." "Wassup!" "It's been a long time!" "Taku-san, how's your band?" "Oh, listen, Mu-chan." "I have bad news." "I failed 3 auditions." "So, I'll be available again starting tomorrow." "Then, how about me?" "Hey, Eisuke." "We want to take it easy and enjoy our work here." "Why should we listen to your small complaints while working, all day, everyday?" "There's no way we can become first class by taking it easy and enjoying it." "Normally, cooks aren't allowed to enter the kitchen until they peel 10,000 carrots, and de-vein 10,000 shrimp." "You guys should put in a bit more effort too!" "We are doing our best now!" "We're doing it with everything we got." "Let me ask you." "What is 'first class' in your mind?" "'First class' in my mind?" "Uhh, I don't think Eisuke-san had any ill intentions." "He's just shocked that the restaurant's name got stolen away..." "I know that, Chie-chan." "And I love his cooking too..." "I was the one who suggested him to quit the band and succeed the restaurant, anyway." "During our band rehearsals, when we get hungry he'd make ramen or fried rice so fast, and they were always so delicious." "But, genuine French, huh." "Eisuke feels so far away now." "Don't say that." "He trusts you guys the most." "That's why he can say selfish things to you guys." "I also always act the most selfish with my best friend." "Like, I want to eat noodles today, or the pasta in that restaurant must be good, let's go!" "..." "like that." "You only talk about food with your friend, huh." "Thanks." "Good evening." "Mariya-san." "Is he serious about this name?" "I mean, Harapeko..." "Good evening." "Mariya, you came for dinner?" "No." "I ate cookies during my overtime, I got full." "I just want to drink some wine." "That'll be bad for your health." "Why don't you have some salad?" "Thanks." "Here." "She's a new part-time worker here?" "Yes, yes, yes, yes...." "Come here!" "She's the girl whose stomach and heart has completely been stolen away by Eisuke!" "Chie-chan, college student, 20 years old!" "Stop that." "Oh, really." "No, I'm just..." "I'm just a fan of Eisuke-san's cooking." "Really." "But there's not much good that come from being a chef's girlfriend, y'know." "He's so busy and I'm losing the motivation to cook for myself, since he's a much better cook." "Is that so." "Excuse me." "Come here!" "Watch out..." "Why did you say that?" "That's the truth, after all." "Well, it's fine if you want to keep your unrequited love as it is, but if you don't be more aggressive, it'll end soon." "But.." "Or..." "Why don't you just end it completely, and have a romance with me?" "What?" "What are you saying?" "Stop joking!" "So, he has feelings for Chie, huh." "I'm thinking the new spring menu should be something like this." "There's hasn't been a call from Machuron today, has there?" "No." "Not yet." "Usually, if we pass their judgment, they contact us directly within 3 days." "Today is the 3rd day." "So, it means..." "Mr. Aso!" "I want to taste them once again." "That kind of taste was worth the stars!" "Let me check the schedule again after this." "This is the DVD sent for the autumn audition." "Yes." "This is the band." "Once I saw this video," "I immediately contacted him." "This guitar guy..." "Kenta?" "Yes." "Him." "No way..." "So it means, they passed the audition?" "Say..." "Shiroyama-chan, why don't you try to talk to them once more?" "Would they want to start over in music?" "Of course." "Leave it to me!" "This is nice!" "It'll change the atmosphere here completely." "Don't you think?" "Well, but it'll cost quite a big sum, though." "Money, huh." "You better change the music too." "French is all about mood music." "I'll see you again later." "Design it nicely, okay?" "Leave it to me!" "This is quite a nice design." "No, I don't like it." "This drawing, this music." "What?" "You're complaining again?" "We didn't go to cooking school like you and we don't have knowledge of the ingredients or cooking." "To be honest, we have no interest in it, either." "But still, we joined you in opening this place, because we thought it'd be fun." "But if you're still persistent that you want to change this place, to be honest, I can't help you anymore." "Me neither." "What are you guys saying?" "Didn't you tell us before?" "That you didn't want to make this a creepy place and that's the kind of place you wanted to run." "But then what do you mean by all this?" "You got influenced by that creepy guy, and you even play this kinda music!" "What are you doing?" "'Ta hell with 2.1 mm!" "The hell with sommelier!" "It's all bullshit!" "Food is basically fuel!" "Anything would do as long as you can eat it!" "Hey, what did you just say?" "That's the truth!" "You cook the ingredients, eat the food, clean the plate, and it'll come back out as shit." "That's the cycle!" "There's no first class or second class about that!" "It's all bullshit!" "Really bullshit!" "You bastard, you have gotta be kidding me!" "It hurts!" "You jerk!" "What!" "What should we do?" "Oh, watch out." "Bastard!" "Mutsuko-san..." "Say that one more time!" "Bastard!" "It has been a long time since I've seen them fight." "It's fine, it's fine." "What should we do?" "Watch out." "Harapeko Kitchen?" "Don't tell me... this is the place?" "This scent." "Bonjour." "Is he a guest?" "It was a dream..." "I guess I only saw a dream that day." "Today's schedule is 3 Japanese restaurants." "Japanese, huh... that's nice." "I see." "That's funny." "I don't believe it." "Machuron came here instead of Gasterea." "Machuron?" "Stop it!" "Stop it, you guys!" "We're opening very soon!" "Apologize to me!" "If you do, I'll immediately forgive you!" "Who would do that!" "?" "I quit!" "I'm quitting this place!" "Eisuke, go after them." "Yes!" "You can still catch them if you go now!" "Shit." "Don't you think it's better this way?" "I think it's better for you to be apart from them, if you really want to be a first class French chef." "What do you mean?" "I won't go back there." "Everything is over now." "I can't be helpful to him now." "We have a vegetable thief here." "I want you to supply for Aso Corporation." "I love Eisuke-san." "Chie-chan, you keep talking about Eisuke, so..." "Welcome to our kitchen." "We'll present CD of the insert song in this drama sung by Yasuto Nao, to 50 lucky winners." "Please watch "Hungry!" again next week." "Won't you be mine?"
