第3話: 山岡が板山のデパート野菜を批判し、鮮度を回復させるのを手伝う。
Yamaoka takes Kurita to the launch of a new department store built by Shuji Itayama, a well known gourmand. Yamaoka tastes the vegetables, but although they look good he finds they lack flavor. Itayama introduces them to his food court, featuring venues run by famous restaurants across Japan. However, Yamaoka regards them with disdain and accuses Itayama of selling stale vegetables and exploiting the restaurants who are forced to use substandard ingredients to cover their high rent. Itayama complains about Yamaoka to Touzai and withdraws his advertising from the paper. To salvage the situation, Yamaoka takes Itayama to a farm where he experiences the taste of fresh vegetables he ate as a child. As a result, Itayama changes his supply system and the store becomes a success by selling fresh produce. (Source: Wikipedia)
