65

The American rakugoka, Mr. Black, invites Kurita and Yamaoka to one of his performances at a Yose. A star act on the bill is the comedy duo of the tsutkomi Subeta and boke Koronda. Later at dinner, Subeta declares that he is more popular, and during the meal constantly berates Koronda. When a dish of tai roasted fish head (兜焼き, kabuto-yaki) is served, Subeta takes Koronda's portion and suggests that he eat the tail instead. When everyone objects to Subeta's behaviour, he declares that he will become a solo act. After some initial success as a TV show host, Subeta's popularity starts to wane as his crass humour misses its mark. Meanwhile, Koronda has little success using old material without the spark and edge of Subeta. Yamaoka invites Subeta to dinner, and takes him with Kurita and Black, to the countryside where they dine on dojo fish prepared in different ways, including a Kinpira style yanagawa nabe combing the dojos with gobo (burdock root). Everyone enjoys the food, and Yamaoka reminds them that the yanagawa nabe worked because the plain tasting dojos combined with the unappetizing gobo made a delicious dish together. Subeta realizes his mistake and humbly thanks Yamaoka. He then joins Koronda back on stage and they become a popular duo again. (Source: Wikipedia)
