Еп. 87: Ямаока допомагає дитячому будинку та вражає президента Yoto Group караякі торарафу

87

Some local restaurant owners visit the Touzai offices seeking payment for meals Yamaoka has bought on credit. Kurita lends him the money, but he has to play Santa Claus at an orphanage in return. He proves popular with the children, however the director explains that the orphanage has only one month before they must vacate the premises. Yamaoka learns that the large company, the Yoto group are the owners, and he arranges an introduction to the group's president, Moriguchi. At the opening of the Yoto Ginza Hotel, Yamaoka points out to Moriguchi that the ordinary tasting Karaage frogs legs are from a larger variety ushigaeru (牛蛙) rather than the more flavorsome smaller variety used in China. Moriguchi openly accepts his criticism, and Yamaoka offers to present a karaage which tastes better. Yamaoka invites Moriguchi to taste his version at the Okaboshi restaurant. Moriguchi is impressed by the excellent flavor, but surprised when Yamaoka explains that is the quartered head of the torafugu (虎河豚). Yamaoka then asks a favor of the Moriguchi, and later the orphanage director is surprised to learn that the property owners have decided to allow the institute to remain on the land for free.
