Ép. 24: Kurita cherche de l'aide pour résoudre un différend entre les époux de deux sœurs jumelles au sujet d'un restaurant de ramen.

24

Kurita is at her high school class reunion, where she meets the twin sisters Mayumi and Masumi who married brothers that ran a ramen restaurant, Ryuryu-ken. They explain that their husbands had a falling out after the magazine Ramen Mania gave the restaurant "three stars" and it came very popular. Eventually Masumi's husband, Hakuryu, left and opened his own Ryuryu-ken across the street. Kurita asks Yamaoka for help, and although he is in a bad mood because he misses horse race betting, he relents and agrees to help. They go to the offices of Ramen Mania where the editor introduces them to his expert team of ramen researchers. Kurita, Yamaoka and the researchers go to the two Ryuryu-ken restaurants for evaluation but the ramen from both restaurants is deemed unsatisfactory. Yamaoka suggests that Hakuryu cook the noodles made by Koryu and now the ramen is a success. The editor asserts that the restaurant will retain its three stars only if Koryu is the noodle maker and Hakuryu is the cook. The next day, Kurita declares she won big at the horse races and invites everyone at the office to lunch. (Source: Wikipedia)
