96

Tomii embarrasses himself in an underground railway station when he sees a rat and he is later reprimanded for overreacting by the Human Resources director, Hiyama. Yamaoka's attempt to cheer up Tomii only makes matters worse, reinforcing Hiyama's plans to cancel the Ultimate Menu project. Yamaoka asks director Ohara for a chance to lampoon Hiyama's taciturn behavior. Mr Black invites the culture department to his opening performance at Mr. Hassho's show about a daimyo in Edo who tried to eat commoner's food which gives Yamaoka an idea. At a formal dinner arranged by Yamaoka, the first dish to arrive is spring onion and tuna hot pot (こざめ, negima), popular with the commoners of Edo. Ohara convinces Hiyama to bite off some of the scalding hot, thick spring onion stem which burns his throat. Before Hiyama can react, Tomii throws himself on the floor, overreacting to eating the hot vegetable, saving Hiyama from embarrassment. However, Hiyama eventually discovers that it was all a plot by Yamaoka to make him lose his composure which he does completely when he physically attacks Yamaoka. Later however, the dinner party all enjoy the same jape at Black's performance. (Source: Wikipedia)
