Mr Black, an American rakugo disciple, visits the Touzai offices to find Japanese terms for sunny side up and turned-over eggs for the International Fried Egg Conference in Japan. His inquiry sparks diverse opinions among office workers like Yamaoka and Kurita regarding the best way to eat fried eggs. At the conference, participants engage in intense debates about cooking and eating methods. Yamaoka demonstrates a technique for cooking without flipping the egg. The conversation shifts to seasoning preferences, yet the event concludes without reaching a consensus on what defines a perfect fried egg.
