Ep. 37: Nagahara lernt die Knoblauchküche, um nach schwacher Leistung Energie wiederherzustellen

37

The baseball team Tokyo Gallants are playing in the Tokyo Dome. Gallants' player Nagahara hits a foul ball that flies into the audience and strikes Yamaoka, who ends up hospitalized. Nagahara visits the hospital to apologize and the conversation turns to his performance. The previous year Nagahara had been voted rookie of the year, but this year he has been doing poorly. Nagahara claims that he lacks energy and quickly gets exhausted even though he is eating health foods like garlic. Yamaoka and Kurita take Nagahara to a Korean restaurant where they are served cooked garlic dishes. Yamaoka explains that while garlic restores the body, eating minced raw garlic kills intestinal bacteria and has the reverse effect. The restaurant chef then teaches Nagahara a simple way to make garlic soup. Later, after Nagahara has hit home runs in several games in a row, Tanimura enters the office with a present from Nagahara, tickets to tonight's game. Tanimura says the Sports Department wants an interview but Kurita declines, and says it's a trade secret. (Source: Wikipedia)
