A handsome couple visits Kurita at work and dines with Yamaoka at an upscale restaurant, where they admit to feeling self-conscious about their attractiveness. Afterward, Toshiko takes Kurita to her family's food factory and shares a humble meal of rice with butter and soy sauce, feeling ashamed of her plain taste. The next day, Yamaoka reveals that Kyoichi hosted him at a construction site, where they ate steamed rice with oyster sauce while dressed as laborers. To address their mutual embarrassment, Yamaoka and Kurita consult the Cultural Department for other staff members' favorite simple dishes and invite the couple. When Toshiko and Kyoichi present their basic rice meals, they feel deeply embarrassed but ultimately realize that they are ordinary people who can find happiness together.
