Ep. 2: Ohara busca la aprobación de Kyogoku para la sección de arte mediante un desafío culinario con su padre.

Ohara decides to start an art section in Touzai and hopes to borrow a Renoir painting from Mantaro Kyogoku. Ohara entertains him at a restaurant in Ginza, but Kyogoku finds the foods substandard and storms out. Ohara then asks Yamaoka and Kurita to find a quality restaurant in Ginza. Yamaoka consults his friend, Tatsu who recommends Okaboshi restaurant which has a new talented young chef. The dinner party arrives and is presented with a meal of rice, miso soup and Tosan-style grilled fish. However, Kyogoku is incredibly impressed with the quality of the simple meal. He asks if Yamaoka is the son of Yūzan Kaibara, but Yamaoka denies it and offers his resignation at Touzai to avoid comparisons with his fastidious father. Kaibara then visits the Touzai office and challenges Yamaoka to a taste test of tempura. Kaibara and Yamaoka each select their chefs, but Kaibara's choice is declared the winner. Yamaoka is crushed, but later he withdraws his resignation, hoping to prove that he is the equal of his father. (Source: Wikipedia)
