Ep. 1: Hakumei dan Mikochi mencari layang-layang senja merah saat mengunjungi Arabi dan bertemu dengan tuan Kobone

1

After reading in the newspaper that a wish-granting red "evening kite" was sighted in the mountains, Hakumei wants to catch it. Hitching a ride on beetles, Mikochi tells Hakumei about a white bird, Kafu, she considered her pet. Every morning she would feed it minestrone, until one day it stopped coming. Atop the mountain eating minestrone the women are caught by surprise as a bird snatches their soup. It turns out Kafu is the evening kite, appearing red in the light of dusk, while Mikochi only knew it shining white in the dawn. Mikochi shows Hakumei the nearby bustling market and port town Arabi, where Mikochi is well-known for her expertise in food preparation, and introduces her to a friend, the "master" of café/tavern Kobone.
