105

Yamaoka and Kurita encounter the homeless man Tatsu in a park where they also meet a young man called Shin who is a good cook. Later, Kurita sees a news item identifying Shin as Nobuyasu Yoshimura who abandoned his wife and young child. She and Yamaoka question Shin who explains that he and Kizaki, another young chef, Kizaki, worked at the Mercurio restaurant and loved the owner's daughter, Kumiko. The owner sent them to Italy to study for five years, and offered both the restaurant and his daughter's hand in marriage to the best chef on their return. However two years later, the owner passed away and Shin returned, married Kumiko and took over the restaurant. After five years of study, Kizaki has now returned and challenged Shin to determine who is the best chef and gain Kumiko and the restaurant. Shin become demoralised because he only specialised in pasta dishes. Yamaoka offers to help Shin, and arranges for the chefs to compete using the Touzai kitchen. Kizaki prepares a complex veal dish, which is very impressive, then Shin presents what appears to be a simple maccheroni dish. However, on Yamaoka's suggestion, Shin filled the tubular pasta with a delicious variety of meats, and Kizaki honorably admits that he has been beaten. (Source: Wikipedia)
