Ep. 47: Amerikanischer Rakugo-Schüler sucht japanische Bezeichnung für Spiegelei für internationale Konferenz

47

Mr Black, the American rakugo disciple, visits the Touzai offices for information on the Japanese fried egg. He is looking for the Japanese words for "sunny side up" and "turned-over" for an International Fried Egg Conference (IFEC) to be held in Japan. His question provokes a discussion among the office workers about the best way to eat fried eggs, and each person Yamaoka and Kurita speak to has a different opinion. At the conference, there is intense discussion about the cooking and eating of fried eggs, and Yamaoka demonstrates a way of cooking without turning the egg over. The discussion then turns to seasoning, but at the conclusion of the conference, there is no consensus on what constitutes a prefect fried egg. (Source: Wikipedia)
