Ep. 71: Yamaoka ajuda Yarimura a superar a insônia distraindo-o com detalhes sobre pratos de peixe

71

A friend of Hanamura and her husband, Isamu Yarimura, is competing in F3000 races to become a F1 driver. However his performance is suffering because of insomnia and Kurita suggests that Yamaoka should find a solution. Yamaoka realizes that Yarimura's insomnia is caused by him obsessing about minor details of his racing car after Yarimura begins pestering Yamaoka for details of the fish without bones dish Yamaoka suggests for a group dinner. That night Yarimura falls asleep thinking about fish without bones and wins the final race of the championship the next day. That evening they all dine on "zen naing ling wi" a Chinese dish of flathead grey mullet (ボラ, bora) where the flesh is removed, mixed with other ingredients and stuffed back inside the fish's body which is lightly fried and then steamed. Yarimura can now sleep soundly by thinking about topics other than racing when he goes to bed. (Source: Wikipedia)
