ตอนที่ 77: แผนกวัฒนธรรมช่วยเจ้าของบ้านพักตากอากาศพัฒนาธุรกิจ

77

In Autumn, the culture division revisit the Chikaraya udon restaurant (Episode 30) and the owner reveals that the three retired sportsmen, Otani, Oyama and Ouma are ready to graduate as chefs. Over dinner, Kurita mentions that the division will spend their holidays at a cottage in Kiyosato run by Yuzuru Takeda who quit last year. They arrive and find the American style cottage comfortable and the French style food excellent, but discover that the business is not doing well. Yamaoka suggests that the problem lies with the fact that it is not clearly differentiated from the competition who offer similar accommodation and food. The others pressure Yamaoka to find a solution, and after trying Takeda's mother's homemade udon, he invites the Chikaraya boys to learn from her. He explains that being an older woman with less strength, she uses more water, making softer noodles with less effort. He also explains that her noodle soup which is a Yamanashi specialty and uses kabocha is also more flavorsome. Everyone agrees, and Takeda and his wife agree to switch their menu to Yamanashi style which makes the business a resounding success. (Source: Wikipeida)
