Ep. 73: The Flower of Tofu
Mr Black seeks out Yamaoka and his associates to see his performance of "Sudofu". It is a story about people who live in an apartment building who scold the owner by giving him rotten tofu because he brags about being a gourmet. Black has fallen in love with Terue who is part of a comedy duo with her sister Teruko. Terue falls ill because she has limited her diet to misoshiru and refuses the potage soup offered by Black. He is despondent because his parents will be arriving from America in a month. Black tries to make a yuba soup but fails. He then tries high protein hikiage yuba (tofu sheets) which is unsuccessful, but instead accidentally creates a thick nutritious soup where the soya bean protein clumps together. Terue initially refuses to try it, but after her sister Teruko reprimands her, Terue tries it and finds it delicious and recovers in time to meet Black's parents. (Source: Wikipedia)
