Ep. 25: Kurita y Yamaoka exploran la avicultura para mejorar la experiencia gastronómica de su abuela

25

Kurita, along with her brother and parents, invites her grandmother to a restaurant named Torigen (鳥玄) in Tsukiji. There, they eat mizutaki, the favorite food of her grandmother's late husband. The old woman says that the chicken is bad and nothing like in the old days and becomes very upset. After Kurita tells her story at work, Yamaoka takes her to a large poultry farm, where she is horrified at the treatment of the birds and the use of antibiotics. They then visit a small farm, run by an old lady Yamaoka is acquainted with, where the chickens are free-range. Kurita invites her grandmother back to Torigen. This time, she is delighted with the meal, which was cooked by Yamaoka using free-range chicken. The restaurant owner laments that he has to buy chickens from factory farms because of lower prices. Soon afterwards, the Kurita family start raising chickens in their own backyard. (Source: Wikipedia)
