Ep. 85: Inspektor Nakamatsu stellt seinen Freunden seinen Kindheitsfreund Hankichi Tsunahama und seine entfremdete ehemalige Geliebte Mayumi Asuka vor.

85

Inspector Nakamatsu takes Yamaoka and Kurita to a small Fukagawa style restaurant run by his friend Hankichi Tsunahama who prepares peasant style food such as satoimo (里芋), renkon (蓮根) and boiled (nikorogashi, 煮転がし) kinmedai (金目鯛) fish. However Nakamatsu reveals that Hankichi was in love with the pop idol, Mayumi Asuka, but she no longer visits him since she became famous. Both from Fukagawa. Nakamatsu reveals that Hankichi and Mayumi were childhood friends and sweethearts, but Mayumi has become betrothed to the businessman Mr. Saga. However, after a sudden fall in stock prices, Saga has called off the engagement and fled the country. A distraught Mayumi visits Hankichi's restaurant and he prepares a traditional Fukagawa nabe (stew, 鍋物) for her. She is embarrassed by her past behavior, but Hankichi gladly welcomes her back into his life. (Source: Wikipedia)
