Branch Manager Tokiyama of Touzai News Paris has become the new foreign news editor back in Japan and the Culture Department staff take him to dinner. He is upset because his daughter Etsuko and her and grandfather had a big argument over the use of chopsticks which she regards as barbaric. Kurita offers to meet and talk to her along with Yamaoka, but Kaibara overhears and accuses Yamaoka of being the last person to teach the manners of Japanese cuisine. Yamaoka takes Etsuko to visit a teak chopstick factory, where she sees the craftsmanship involved. Later, they use the cedar chopsticks at an exclusive ryotei in Kyoto, but Kaibara also arrives as an invited guest. They enjoy eating their meal with chopsticks, but Kaibara insults Yamaoka's manners for wetting too much of the end of the chopsticks while eating in what he considers a display of poor manners.
