84

The Culture Department Flower Trio of Touzai News insist on following Yamaoka to a regular evening rendezvous expecting to find a woman, but instead see him meet Inspector Nakamatsu at the "Sai" restaurant run by Naotaro Moriguchi. The specialty of the house is gori chitoseni made using the "ugly" fish endemic to the Sai and Asano Rivers in the Kanazawa Region. Miss Kuniko arrives from the Ryotei Maedaya restaurant, and asks Naotaro to return to the restaurant because the owner has had an accident. Later, over dinner Kuniko explains that Naotaro planned to marry Maedaya's daughter, but she married Seiji, a junior of Naotaro last year who took over the restaurant. Naotaro was responsible for preparing the Kinchakai (Friday Tea Meeting), but with Seiji in hospital, no-one has the experience to prepare it. Yamaoka convinces Naotaro to return to Maedaya to help with Kinchakai and facilitates a blossoming romance between Naotaro and Kuniko. (Source: Wikipedia)
