Ep. 132: Koizumi droht Yamaoka wegen Pashas Weigerung, getrockneten Pferdemakrele zu essen, trotz mehrerer Versuche.

132

Director Koizumi is depressed because the cat, Pasha, he is taking care of has stopped eating after having indigestion. It even refuses to eat its favorite food, dried horse mackerel that Koizumi buys from different places which he says tastes fine. Desperate, Koizumi threatens to cut Yamaoka's salary if he does not find a solution. Yamaoka, takes Koizumi a local fish market where he buys fresh horse mackerel, then prepares and dries it naturally in the sun. He then takes Koizumi to a stockfish factory to buy some horse mackerel where they force-dry frozen imported fish in high volume. That night, Yamaoka offers three types of dried horse mackerel to Pasha who selects and eats only one of the three offerings. The adults then taste the same fish and Koizumi declares that the sun-dried fish tastes much better, but Koizumi again threatens to cut Yamaoka's salary after he implies that Koizumi had a less-discerning palate than the cat.
