57화: 긴긴테이에서 노리코의 약혼 만찬과 야스오의 요리 구원

57

Noriko Hanamura announces her engagement and invites Yamaoka, Kurita and Tabata to meet her fiance Mitani at Ginza's Gingintei restaurant where they plan to hold the wedding reception. They are impressed with owner-chef Mr Nakazato's meal, especially the with the Fond de Veau (veal sauce) but his drunken son Yasuo creates an embarrassing scene. Yamaoka and Kurita discover that Yasuo was fond of Hanamura and was hurt by her engagement to Mitani. A few days later, Mr Nakazato is involved in a car accident, and they try desperately to find an alternative chef. Yasuo offers to cook and tries to sober up and prove his skills. The meal is successful, however the flavor of his veal sauce is lacking which Yamaoka attributes to the type of bones used. They try again, using the ingredients of the first sauce as the base and this time, the result more than meets the approval of the guests. (Source: Wikipedia)
