Touzai News invites the African Poet Amal Julah and his wife to Japan and takes them to a sukiyaki restaurant in Ueno called Ushimatsu, but they arrive at the wrong Ushimatsu restaurant. The young owner throws them out, and they go to the intended sukiyaki restaurant. However, the flavour of the beef is disappointing, and they overhear Kaibara in the next room criticizing the food as substandard. When they try shabu-shabu instead, he is equally unimpressed. Later, the other chef from the first Ushimatsu, attacks the owner and accuses him of cheating him out of his inheritance. Yamaoka suggests that the young chef make a variation of the famous Rosanjin style sukiyaki, but combined with elements of shabu-shabu. They arrange for Kaibara's chef Nakagawa to invite Kaibara there to try it and Kaibara is impressed by the result. Even though Kaibara detects the hand of Yamaoka in the recipe, he praises the restaurant, making it a success. (Source: Wikipedia)
