Following a food shoot, Yamaoka, Kurita, Mariko, and Kinjō meet Teito News editor Hirano at Sushi Tomo. Kinjō requests kajiki sashimi, prompting insults about its low quality. Kinjō shares that this fish was a rare luxury for his poor family in Chiba. Yamaoka decides to feature Choshi food in the Global Food Tour and invites the rivals to return. The team travels to Chiba to harpoon striped marlin in rough winter waters. Back at the restaurant, the chef prepares the dish, which everyone enjoys. Yamaoka notes the fish is best in winter, matching Kinjō's memories. Kinjō photographs the fishing process, and his images help the article achieve great success.
