Ep. 70: Touzai staff vacation at Shirakawa spa while judo team struggles with strict brown rice diet

70

The Touzai Culture Division staff visit the spa at Shirakawa for a vacation where they had previously enjoyed hamanabe and takenoko sashimi. They encounter a judo team from Butoku Women's University, including Tawara and Kanazawa, who are training nearby. Later, three students arrive desperate for white rice, explaining their strict organic brown rice diet is unpalatable. Tawara and Kanazawa reprimand them, defending the health benefits of their food. Yamaoka challenges this view, requesting a week to prove brown rice can be nutritious and tasty. When he is unprepared, the judo women take him to their dojo to meet manager Takeko Miyamoto. After a challenged contest is interrupted by Kurita, Yamaoka’s analysis reveals accidental fertilizer and antibiotics in the rice. Miyamoto apologizes and switches to true organic rice, improving the team's performance.
