Yamaoka and Kurita visit Tōjin Tōyama on the day he removes ceramics from his kiln, but he is dissatisfied with many of the pieces and smashes them. He is especially disappointed with a red glaze which he has been trying to match to the colour of tomatoes. While arguing with Yamaoka, he trips and fractures his ankle. In hospital, Kaibara brings some fresh organic vine-ripened tomatoes, however they lack flavour which Yamaoka attributes to using non-organid fertilizer. He offers to take everyone to visit a farm growing vine-ripened tomatoes in the middle of winter. The travel to Kakegawa in Shizuoka where they meet Mr Nagata who uses the "ryokuken" farming method. He uses greenhouses to reproduce the harsh native invironment of tomatoes in the Andes mountains. The tomatoes are pronounced delicious, and Tōyama believes that he has found the red colour he was searching for. However Kaibara is publicly unwilling to accept this method of cultivation or that Yamaoka is right. (Source: Wikipedia)
