On New Year's day, President Ohara hosts Touzai staff and his rival Inota Okawa for lunch. Okawa, a self-proclaimed gourmand, displays wealth by serving fresh red sea bream from Akashi. Yamaoka identifies the cheek fat but suggests another part is superior. He extracts the section behind the head, which Okawa enjoys, restoring Ohara's standing. Yamaoka then shows that the scapula and coracoid bones resemble the fish, known as tai no tai, a good luck charm. Ohara and Okawa argue over the charm until Yamaoka notes there are two per fish, yet the rivals continue to bicker.
