100

Kurita and Yamaoka are dining out in an expensive French style restaurant with Sushimoto's Ms. Natsuko and her boyfriend Mr. Kitao. An old school friend of Kitao and son of the owner of a Ryōtei in Ginza, Yasutaka Ashida, also arrives at the restaurant. Ashida states that he has little interest in the family business and sends an expensive vintage wine to Kitao's table, but Kitao accuses him of being a spendthrift. Later, Ashida's former girlfriend, Nobuko Kanichi, arrives with money for him. However, when she says that her father, a fish commission agent, will no longer provide money for him, he slaps her and leaves. Kitao explains that Ashida rejected Nobuko for another woman who then dumped him. Yamaoka suspects that Ashida is acting out and arranges for Ashida to attend a dinner hosted and funded by Nobuko. Ashida is served luxurious Japanese food which involves a lot of waste, such is the just the skin of a tai and flesh from the fatty belly of a bluefin tuna. The extravagance causes Ashida to realize that he has been selfish and wasteful since the woman he desired dumped him for a man who could provide an even more luxurious lifestyle. He decides to return to the restaurant business and reunites with Nobuko who still loves him. (Source: Wikipedia)
