107

The famous artist Ginko Kiyotani suffers a cerebral hemorrhage and has to undergo surgery. Afterwards, his old friend Mr. Kyogoku is worried that Kiyotani's mental abilities and memory have been affected. Kyogoku tells Yamaoka that the day Kiyotani collapsed, he told Kyogoku he wanted to cook "sea pine mushroom rice" for him and claimed it was better than using matsutake mushrooms. However, neither Kyogoku nor Yamaoka have ever heard of "sea pine mushrooms". Yamaoka goes to Hayama where Kiyotani used to fish and discovers that the key ingredient for sea pine mushroom rice is a small abalone clam which is gathered from the Shōnan region in summer. He makes the dish according to the Shōnan recipe and serves it to Kiyotani. The familiar flavor prompts the artist to regain his memory and begin to paint again. (Source: Wikipedia)
