49

Ayoyama, a reporter for Number One Sports magazine, is writing an article on the diet of baseball players and Yamaoka and Kurita are assigned to assist him. Meanwhile, the owner of a major baseball team invites Kaibara to the opening of his new beef restaurant, where Kaibara wants to try Miyazakigyu. The reporters visit two baseball camps where the ryokan are supposed to provide a balanced diet, but the players prefer eating gyuniku[k] and yakiniku and are also allowed soft drinks and snacks. The Number One Sports editor in chief invites Yamaoka to report his findings to the owner at his restaurant however when they arrive, they find Kaibara dining with him. When the group taste the meat, Yamaoka and Kaibara are critical and Yamaoka gives the reasons why the meat has little flavor. Then next day, they all visit the farm, and Kaibara asks Yamaoka to choose which calf (子牛, koushi) is will produce the best beef. Yamaoka choses one but is criticized by Kaibara as the calves are all male and castrated, whereas he says the best beef comes from cows who have not yet given birth. Yamaoka is devastated by his mistake, however Ayoyama publishes the article based on their research which is well-received. (Source: Wikipedia)
