Ep. 30: Yamaoka merekrut atlet pensiunan untuk menyelamatkan kedai udon yang kesulitan dari gengster.

30

Yamaoka and the "Culture Department Flower Trio" enjoy last day of Ozumo and then go to eat at Chikaraya, a traditional udon restaurant, but it appears run down. The noodles are perfect but their meal is interrupted by local gangsters demanding service and who have chased away the local customers with their rude behavior. On their way home, Yamaoka stops Otani, a young sumo, from jumping off a bridge because he has progressed too slowly and the heya have only offered him a position as a chef and chanko cook. The next day Otani appears at the Touzai office, and chief Hideo Tanimura introduces him to Oyama, a judo competitor, then the Manager Maehara of sports division introduces Ouma Ginkichi, a wrestler. Over lunch, the sportsmen reveal that they are retiring, so Yamaoka arranges for them to work at Chikaraya. After they rid the restaurant of its gangster problem, their strength and enthusiasm prove to be the perfect ingredients for making elastic and soft noodles, and the restaurant becomes hugely successful.
