"Here." "I fell for him, after all." "You better taste the cuisine there once." "I feel potential in it for some reason." "We're kinda, living at odds with each other lately." "For some reason, you feel far away." "You had enough?" "I'm full." "This is a nice macrobiotic restaurant." "Excuse me." "Enjoy your meal." "I'll pay today." "It's fine." "I'm the one who asked you out." "Excuse me." "Yes." "Here." "I need to dine out for good food once in a while, too." "That's true." "You're eating good food, and yet you look like you're in a bad mood." "I'm not in a bad mood." "Just that... who was that guy?" "Didn't I tell you?" "He's my colleague." "You're in a bad mood because of him?" "I told you I'm not in a bad mood." "You are." "Just so you know, there's nothing between us at all." "But he has feelings for you." "Fine, then let me say this." "We haven't gone out for dinner even once in the last 3 months." "I'd like to go out with somebody once in awhile." "For me, a restaurant is a place to have a meal." "It's not a place I want my boyfriend to work." "What do you mean by that?" "I can't believe you think that way..." "How was it, Eisuke?" "It's a nice place." "Yes, the food was really delicious." "Thanks." "I heard you opened a restaurant too?" "Yeah, well..." "But it's not doing very well." "Of course not!" "When you were out enjoying your rock lifestyle and the like," "I was peeling 50,000 potatoes and was beaten up 500 times by my senior." "Becoming sucessful isn't easy." "You've got a point." "Sir..." "Oh, that card didn't work?" "Oh, it's fine." "It's a rough time for you, right?" "It's my treat." "No, no, I'll pay." "Hold on." "It's fine." "Then, here." "I'm sorry." "I'll be right back." "Are the leftovers here always this depressing?" "No." "The leftovers used to be really fancy but now..." "As pay day gets nearer, they've become this." "2 employees and 2 part-time workers." "If worst comes to worst, I may not be paid this month..." "It's not enough." "Totally not enough for the basic salary I promised." "Hey, hey, Eisuke." "The water's not working." "I turned the tap on but nothing is coming out." "Did you pay the water bill?" "Shut up." "I paid it." "This is weird." "What's wrong with this?" "It's cold, it's cold." "(We're closed today.)" "Seriously?" "I understand, then we'll be counting on you." "As you heard, for some reason he can only come to fix it at midnight." "Crap!" "This damn faucet!" "Hey, Eisuke, with things like this, is the restaurant really okay?" "Next week is our first pay day." "Of course it's okay." "Alright, we have everyone here and we have enough time, so let's sort out everyone's offical titles today." "Our titles?" "Yeah." "First..." "Taku!" "Yes!" "You'll be the Maitre D'." "Alriiight!" "...what's a Maitre D'?" "Maitre d'hotel is in charge of the service in the restaurant." "You'll be guiding the guests to their seats, handing them the menu and taking their orders, then you'll calculate their bills." "You'll be assisted by Chef de Rang, who will be in charge of serving the meal, the cutlery and water." "Right." "Mutsuko-san is clumsy, anyway." "And, there will be days she can't come due to her divorce court schedule." "I would like you to take the role as Chef de Rang." "Very well, young master." "Don't call me 'young master'." "Taro-san, how about the rest of us?" "Oh, Kenta-kun, you'll be the vice head chef, Sous-chef." "And, Tsuyoshi-kun, you'll be in charge of the food ingredients and the preparation." "You're the Garde-manger." "Garde-manger?" "That sounds cool." "By the way, by the way, Mucchan, so you're getting a divorce?" "You were married?" "Yes." "I separated from my husband two years ago." "Actually, I..." "Listen." "We have to properly perform our own roles to make things work." "It's the same in a band or a restaurant." "Let's make this place a better restaurant together!" "Yup." "Alright!" "Alright!" "Hold on a sec." "This restaurant opens at 5 PM right?" "Then, shouldn't I just come later?" "Taku, I have a special job for you." "Why do I have to do this?" "Shit." "Huh?" "That guy." "For some reason, he's going to be helping with the farmwork and deliveries starting today." "In exchange, they get the vegetables for a cheap price." "I see." "So Eisuke-san won't be coming anymore." "Long time no see." "Hello." "This is really annoying." "You guys are really something." "Oh, oh, oh, I'm not made for farmwork." "You know, I hate mud and sweat, I really hate them." "Sheesh." "What's happening to my life?" "I should've been in the spotlight by now..." "What's so bad about mud and sweat?" "What's wrong with mud and sweat?" "!" "Farming is a job that connects you to life." "It might be that vegetables mean nothing to you, but they're alive!" "They're alive, so depending on how we handle them, they will grow big, or won't grow, or become delicious." "They're important." "Their lives, they will be eaten by someone, and it connects them to that person's life too." "Don't you think that's something amazing?" "You don't even think of that and just carelessly eat everyday." "You have such a lonely life!" "This might be the first time a girl has scolded me for something other than cheating." "My big sister is a hardcore farm girl." "You've grown big." "This is good." "It's in a good shape." "Bienvenue a Japon." "(Welcome to Japan.)" "Congratulations, Eisuke." "I'm not sure but it smells delicious." "For me, a restaurant is a place to have a meal." "It's not a place I want my boyfriend to work." "I thought she was on my side in this." "The water is fixed." "Your signature, please!" "Okay, thanks." "Uhh..." "I'll turn 30 in another 3 days." "Translator - yanie" "Editor" " Enggrrl, kimurafreak" "What are you doing?" "New guy, you better hurry and go." "Yes, sorry." "Okay." "Okay." "Shit!" "I hurt my arms again." "You're getting stronger." "Your biceps are shaping up." "Oh, it's muscle pain..." "Ah, no, no." "Spread the honey on that chicken breast." "I've fermented it for a night." "I'm gonna make it a chicken ham." "What's with those eyes?" "Yeah, I know." "It's always chicken lately." "We have no choice." "Chicken is cheap, it's delicious too." "I didn't say a thing." "Hey, hey, hey." "Look at this, look." "What's that?" "A ring?" "Engagement ring." "When I get paid, I'm going to propose to Toko." "What do you think of this?" "It cost the same as one month of my salary." "Yeah..." "Hey." "What is it?" "Hello!" "What are you doing?" "Singing in other people's places?" "I just introduced you to some French music." "Rock music doesn't go well with French restaurant, after all." "Don't look at me like that." "Actually, I have another present ready for you." "This is..." "This..." "You..." "Homard lobster?" "Isn't this Homard Bleu!" "?" "It's imported here by air from Bretagne." "So it's an authentic Bleu." "Gimme it!" "Give it to me!" "I'll deliver 10 more tomorrow." "However... you can only use 9 of them for the restaurant." "The last one is for me." "Let me see." "I'll come here at 11 PM tomorrow." "You better have it cooked by then." "Hold it." "Why do you want me to do this?" "Why?" "I just want to know you better." "You want to know me?" "Stop kidding me." "I can't let you give me such an expensive thing like this for free." "Alright, then." "Let's do this." "If what you make isn't good, then I'll have you pay me back for all of them." "Think of it as my challenge to you." "What do you think?" "You'll accept this way, right?" "Challenge?" "Alright, I'll be looking forward to tomorrow." "Wassup!" "Who was that?" "Wow, look at these eyes." "No, no!" "I shouldn't have accepted this stupid challenge!" "Return it to him." "What's happening?" "No." "I don't want to return it." "Why?" "Is this thing really that amazing?" "That's right." "This is high end food that we won't ever get again, if we miss this chance." "Please." "Please!" "Let me accept this challenge!" "Say..." "Then, how about this?" "Thanks for the other day." "I wanted to thank you, but I didn't know your number..." "That's nice." "You can use that to get his number." "So, it's too obvious?" "How about this one?" "I want to know the recipe for that gruel, so please come over again..." "Oh, no!" "When did I become bold like this!" "?" "Hey, are you done?" "I want to call to my Mom." "Wait, don't hang up!" "Come with me." "I mean, if I go there alone..." "It'll be too obvious that I have feelings for him!" "I'm really not expecting anything much." "I just want to watch him from afar." "To watch him and his restaurant." "So for now, I just want to know his number, so we can call each other sometimes." "That's my mom on call waiting." "If we can, at least, have that kind of relationship..." "Okay, bye!" "Wait!" "Nana!" "Why did I have to fall for that guy...?" "Who is that?" "Eisuke, here I am again." "Hi!" "Shiroyama-san, you came!" "Taku!" "I heard you got a place to live and a job, that's great!" "That's right." "Well, don't forget to keep introducing me places where I can sing." "Please have a seat." "Here." "Thanks." "Oh, the farm girl." "Aren't you the farm girl?" "What are you doing here?" "No, um, my name is Ookusu Chie." "I'm sorry about the other day." "I got all worked up." "So, Chie-chan..." "You came all the way here to apologize to me?" "I'm so happy!" "Have a seat!" "Come here." "Here." "Hurry." "Today's special is really good!" "I'll bring it over for you." "Thank god, I got in the place without being too obvious." "Oh?" "So you made a website." "Yeah, Taku made that." "Hey, Eisuke." "Can you check out the seasoning?" "I see." "It's not enough." "Lift it a bit." "Okay, then, Mucchan, pick up the cutlery on table No. 1, and use this to light the candle." "It was the same as the band." "Just with 1 additional member, this place changed so much." "Yeah well... but we still didn't get to debut." "Oh, right." "Here..." "Just in case." "You might not want to remember the festival you auditioned for and failed, and you guys might be so busy that you can't go, but just in case." "Thank you." "Um.. uh, Eisuke-san." "You shouldn't come here." "You'll disturb us." "I'm sorry!" "I just want to thank you for the gruel the other day." "I'm sorry!" "Excuse me!" "Hey, hold on." "Here." "This..." "Today's special's leftover." "Have some, if you like." "Thank you." "Now, leave." "I don't have time to chat with you." "It tastes so good." "Should I poach or grill?" "Americain Sauce is a possiblity too." "But jellied would be nice too..." "Hanako-san told me she wrote a recipe book for you." "Where did that recipe book go?" "Eisuke, the room is so cold." "We ran out of kerosene." "If you feel cold then fill it yourself." "The kerosene is outside in the hall." "Yes." "Hey, you better not sleep in the kotatsu!" "It's your turn to clean the bathroom today." "Oh, that's right." "Say..." "Eisuke." "You get along well with Chie-chan, right?" "Who's Chie?" "What?" "You don't know her name?" "Homard is more important for me than girls now." "That blue body..." "I feel like sleeping together with it on the same bed tonight." "Eisuke, to think about an arthropod that far, you must be a weirdo." "Shut up!" "Ah, dammit." "So cold." "Eisuke, where are you going every night?" "Eisuke, I'm hungry." "Wherever I like!" "If you need anything, do something about it yourself!" "I'm not the mother in this house!" "Once you're done with that, bring me the foothold." "'Kay!" "Alright." "This would be enough for this month's salary." "I only have to work out the working capital now." "The hors d'oeuvres is "Homard Pince ala Arabic with Orange Flavour"." "That's nice." "A blend of the orange's sweet and sour taste, and the Homard Bleu taste sounds wonderful." "But, the main course" ""Homard Lobster wrapped in pie" doesn't sound good." "Really?" "I think the bisque sauce would give the fresh Homard a special flavour." "No, we need something that would stand out..." "I want the Homard to stay in it's original shape." "Okay." "Understood." "There it is!" "Tres bien!" "(Excellent!" ")" "She looks energetic today too." "Farmwork is like a war." "Hey, Tsuyoshi." "There's a call from your father." "Dad?" "Hello." "Yeah, I'm doing well here." "The hair tonic doesn't work?" "The hair tonic won't work for bald heads." "It won't work." "Yeah, it's gonna be fine." "I'll sweep around the front door." "Don't hide and come out!" "Guess it's just my feeling." "Ow." "Okay, it's done." "It's done!" "C'est pret." "(It's ready.)" "Okay." "Let's make this the main course today." "Are we really allowed to taste this too?" "Yeah, just a bite, though." "You have to know the restaurant's taste too." "Shit!" "This is good!" "Delicious!" "Eat it neatly." "Neatly." "It's good." "This is good." "Awesome." "The tare sauce is amazing." "Tare, huh." "What the hell is this?" "It's the first time." "This is the first time that I got precisely the taste I wanted since I started this restaurant." "That's great." "Alright, let's make a circle." "Let's do it!" "Okay..." "How're the reservations?" "Hm?" "None came." "But there were a few inquiries about Homard-chan and this place." "Inquiries?" "That's the first time!" "We might have many guests tonight." "Then, let me confirm this again." "We can only serve that menu for 9 guests." "The last one is for that guy, so don't touch that one." "Yes." "Okay!" "I'll definitely win the fight with that last one!" "I'll beat that restaurant of his!" "Listen, with our..." "Eisuke." "Hm?" "I'm sorry, but that last one..." "What is it!" "?" "I was about to get at the good part here!" "No, it escaped." "Escaped?" "Escaped." "So, that was the lobster?" "Seriously?" "One of that cost 10,000 you know." "Sorry." "I guess I failed in being the guard-something." "The cute Homard-chan..." "If Mutsuko-san just saw it, then it should be around here somewhere." "Before the restaurant opens, Taku-san and Mutsuko-san, please look for it." "I understand." "Hunting for crayfish, huh." "This bring back memories." "It's not hunting." "Well, if we work together, we'll manage somehow." "I mean, today is the first pay day, right?" "Yeah!" "Come on, we're counting on you!" "OK!" "Alright!" "How about the circle?" "Never mind the circle!" "Just look for it!" "Hurry find it!" "I was going to call you too." "Tomorrow is your birthday, afterall." "No..." "Today, we got some good supplies, so I hope you can come." "Oh, right, you can't." "You're following a macrobiotic diet, huh." "Those hands used to be such pretty hands..." "I'm glad you told me what you really think the other day." "I thought you'd be happy I had a proper job." "What?" "So you're trying to say you started the restaurant for me?" "That's not it." "But, rather than being a musician with no job..." "I loved Eisuke the musician." "There are a lot of people who made safe career choices." "Wait a minute." "Did you just yawn?" "I didn't!" "I did." "Unbelievable..." "We're in the middle of a serious conversation." "I'm serious too." "But I haven't been sleeping at all." "It's weird that you're busy that much." "I don't think you're any more settled now than before, not even a bit." "What do you mean?" "Let me ask you as your senior in society." "You've never held a proper job before and you suddenly start managing a restaurant, did you really think you would be successful that easily?" "Sorry." "When I'm finished with work I'll call you." "Hello." "Yes, okay." "I'll be going back now." "It's not here." "Maybe here!" "Second time!" "Excuse me." "Welcome." "Do you still have the Homard lobster?" "Yes, yes." "Today..." "As everyone guessed..." "We're getting a bit slow, let's speed up!" "We had quite a number of guests tonight." "How delicious." "So happy." "Thank you for waiting." "This is the menu." "Excuse me." "Do you still have the Homard lobster?" "Homard-chan?" "Yeah, we still have it." "Would you like to order that?" "Yes, please." "Table No. 1 ordered Homard-chan!" "Everyone ordered today's special... 9 Homard Bleu are gone in a flash." "Amazing, it's amazing." "Isn't this the first time we ran out of the raw food?" "Is there something wrong, Eisuke?" "Ah, no." "There it is!" "It's here!" "You found it?" "It just went behind this guitar." "That's not a guitar." "That's a bass." "Wow!" "It cut off the string." "Thank you, Homard." "But, I'm fine now." "I have no regrets in leaving the music world." "From the beginning, I had decided that I'd cook once I turned 30." "Eisuke." "So don't struggle and let me catch you!" "Homard!" "Alright!" "Alright!" "Then, we can serve this lobster to that man." "Eisuke." "We have troubled guests." "I beg you, please." "I want my grandmother to taste the Homard lobster, no matter what." "How is it?" "I've checked with the kitchen, and it seems we've already run out." "Oh, no..." "After all the effort I made to find this place through the net..." "Actually, Eisuke, her grandmother is not in a good condition due to the recent cold weather." "My grandmother was born in Hamajima, Mie prefecture." "There's a cape on the coast called Isobue-misaki, which name came from the popular tragic love story of a fisherman and a shell diver girl." "My grandmother was also a shell diver..." "My late grandfather was also a spiny lobster fisherman..." "Hold it." "Is the story going to be long?" "No, it's just that when she eats lobster, she remembers her youth and she gets her spirit back that way." "But, spiny lobster and Homard lobster are totally different." "Eating Homard Bleu won't remind you of Ise bay." "It comes from Bretagne in France, afterall." "I've tried to look for spiny lobster too." "But..." "I can't find it anywhere that I can have it tonight." "So I thought as long as it is the same size..." "Then, we have no choice." "Eisuke, let the girl have my share of Homard." "Even from the start you weren't getting a share of it." "I wasn't?" "From the start?" "I went to the Gasterea restaurant on the main street, but... it's so expensive, my salary won't be enough." "Gasterea..." "Please!" "I beg you!" "No, no, no." "We'd really love to serve you Homard-chan too, but..." "Okay." "We'll make it for her." "No, no, no." "We can't serve that." "That curly-haired guy..." "I mean..." "My grandmother was born in Hamajima, Mie prefecture." "Oh, right." "Please put the wakame inside the mixer for me." "Oh, Tsuyoshi." "There's the dried plum in the leftovers right?" "Hit 'em with the knife." "Thank you for waiting." "What's this?" "I can't eat this crayfish." "It's not crayfish and it's expensive." "Taste it, grandma." "If you say so..." "Oh, my!" "The sea... that man..." "Grandma?" "I'm so grateful..." "Thank you, thank you." "Grandma..." "What a relief." "Thank you." "Hooray!" "That's great!" "Good, good." "Hey, hey..." "That sauce looks delicious." "No." "This aroma... did you use miso?" "Yeah." "If it's a fisherman and a shell diver girl, then miso should be close to that." "And you added wakame to it." "I see." "I don't get any of the Homard Bleu?" "Why not?" "I was looking forward to it." "I'm sorry." "We had our own circumstances, so we served it all to our guests." "Please, take this with you." "It's "shrimp doria"." "I'll pay the money to you soon." "So you put your guests first." "How wonderful." "But as a member of society, you're greatly mistaken." "I'll be waiting for you to pay the whole amount." "Full payment for all the 11 lobsters." "Hey, Eisuke." "What happened?" "This is totally not the initial salary amount you promised us." "I'm sorry." "But this month, we only had small number of guests." "You've gotta be kiddin' me." "I can't call this a permanent job with this salary!" "Why do you think I quit music?" "I'm really sorry about this." "But, that's all I can give you for now." "I'll somehow manage the rest of the amount later." "How would you somehow manage that?" "Young master, it must be that Homard's fault." "You idiot!" "If you know it'll end up like this, then why didn't you let him have the last one?" "It was completely your mistake as the manager." "You can say anything you want." "But I've been working my ass off too." "And well you should!" "Our lives are all in your hands!" "I know that!" "But sometimes things just don't work out in life too!" "People like you who feel all high with marriage, proposals and engagement rings won't understand my feelings!" "You bastard!" "Of course I don't!" "Damn it!" "Then, why don't you..." "Stop it, stop it!" "It has nothing to do with me!" "How am I suppose to get a ring with 45,000 yen!" "That's impossible, dammit!" "What did you say?" "It hurts." "What happened to your face?" "Thank you." "Say..." "Why don't we just take a break?" "Our... biorhythms, maybe?" "They just don't go well together now." "Are you saying it's the restaurant's fault?" "I love you, Eisuke." "But, I just really hate myself lately." "I hate myself when I'm with you." "It's past 12 o'clock already." "Happy birthday, Eisuke." "Well, isn't this the worst birthday ever?" "I feel sleepy." "Shit." "Sleepy." "Hey." "Wake up." "Hey." "Wake up!" "Don't die!" "Pull yourself together!" "That hurts!" "Stop it!" "So, it's you." "I'm alive." "So, you're alive." "I just got home from staying up all night doing an experiment, then I saw someone sleeping here." "You scared me." "It's none of your business." "Ah, my part-time job!" "It's too late." "I'm still gonna be late, after all." "Shit..." "Huh?" "Part-time?" "You have a part-time job?" "Nothing." "Never mind." "Is it related to music?" "I heard you had a band before..." "So nosy." "I've quit rock and smoking forever for that restaurant." "What?" "And yet..." "What's wrong with her?" "Dammit..." "I see." "But I'm glad, if that's the case!" "I'm really glad you quit your band and opened the restaurant." "Sheesh." "He's so unfriendly." "Oh well." "At least, I got to see him today." "The Homard Fair was a success." "Besides the issue with that guy, though." "What's this?" "Why didn't you tell us?" "About your part-time job." "How did you...?" "Your father found it when he was cleaning up the house." "Dirty shirts and patch." "And your resume." "Oh, you're 30 today." "Well, putting aside all those matters." "Here." "Okay then, Eisuke!" "Happy birthday!" "You've become an old man now!" "You better grow up now." "No, no, he still needs us to be by his side!" "Stop it, you guys!" "Good boy." "Take care of him?" "Hurry and eat this." "No." "I'm scared of his talent." "I would like to make a reservation for 1 person." "The person is..." "It's me!" "The ultimate strategy of Valentine." "What will you do with that guy?" "Please..." "Please, go out with me!" "The delicious cuisine that appears on the show can be made easily." "The recipes are in this book." "We'd like to present 50 copies of it to you." "Please apply as soon as possible." "Let's stake this restaurant's name." "I'll make you appreciate this restaurant."
