128

After finishing a photo shoot of food for the Ultimate Menu, Yamaoka, Kurita, Mariko and Kinjō go to Sushi Tomo and encounter Mr. Hirano, the feature editor of the competing Teito News and two coworkers. When Kinjō asks for kajiki sashimi, they make disparaging remarks for requesting an inferior fish. Kinjō replies that his family was poor, living in Chiba, and to them the occasional time they ate kajiki sashimi was a special treat. He asks Yamaoka to evaluate kajiki and Yamaoka decides on Choshi food for the next topic of the Global Food Tour and invites the Teito News staff to return to Sushi Tomo in a few days. Yamaoka takes Kurita, Mariko and Kinjō to Chiba where they go out on a fishing boat in the cold rough waters harpooning for striped marlin. They return to Sushi Tomo where the chef prepares kajiki sushi and sashimi which everyone declares is delicious. Yamaoka explains that the fish is at its best in winter which is when Kinjō's mother bought the fish. Kinjō is inspired to go out and take more photographs of the harpoon fishing and his photographs contribute to the article's huge success. (Source: Wikipedia)
