Ep. 81: Yamaoka y Kurita usan mariscos de Izu para ayudar a Suzuko a recuperar su voluntad de vivir.

81

Yamaoka's friend Okaboshi calls him because he is concerned about the mental health of his brother Ryozo who works at the Gourmet Club. Ryozo was attracted to a young woman called Suzuko, but she became engaged to another chef. The chef then broke off the engagement to marry someone else and Suzuko attempted suicide. She now refuses to eat, and even food prepared by Kaibara cannot tempt her. Yamaoka takes Kurita to Izu seaside where Suzuko grew up and collects local food including brassy chub fish and the seaweed haba nori (幅海苔). He has Ryozo grill the pressed haba nori and the smell reminds Suzuko of the sea breeze and the taste revives and restores her will to live. Later she visits Izu with Ryozo. (Source: Wikipedia)
