Эп. 99: Конкурс школьной еды на Dainippon TV: победный рецепт корокке от Aikawa

99

In spring, Dainippon TV proposes to make a program about which cafeteria has the best food. That day, Mr. Black visits Yamaoka and confesses that he doesn't understand the meaning behind the rakugo story "Parting From My Children", a story about a divorced couple who reunite because of their love for their child. As they leave, the divorced cafetaria chef Aikawa from Touzai News encounters his son Takashi in the street and his story seems parallel the rakugo. Dainippon TV requires that the list of dishes for the competition must include Korokke which is in common in cafeterias. Aikawa makes some flavorsome korokke, however Yamaoka suggests that Aikawa should enter his regular unassuming regular potato korokke. At the competition, Aikawa's simple well-made version of potato with fried meat and onion is chosen as the winner over the exotic korokke from 20 different cafeterias. Takashi convinces his mother to watch the televised program and when she sees the effort Aikawa made, she realizes that he is a changed man and reconciles with him. Meanwhile, Black has observed the interaction between Takashi and his parents which provides the key to him performing the story successfully on stage. (Source: Wikipedia)
