SIGN Nodoka Ranch - Egg Shop
SIGN At this ranch, which opened in 20XX, they raise free-range chickens, a rarity in Japan.
The chickens wander freely through a large space, which makes them physically stronger,
healthier, and more resistant to disease. Word has spread far and wide of the eggs
they lay being so rich and jelly-like inside that they can be picked up with chopsticks.
[00:12] Mokotaro
Today, we're at the Nodoka Ranch
egg shop in Hokkaido, moko!
[00:18] Mokotaro
I'm going to use these fresh eggs to make
my original spin on raw eggs on rice:
[00:22] Mokotaro
no-cook omelet rice, moko!
[00:25] Mokotaro
Just look at these eggs, moko!
SIGN Nodoka Ranch
SIGN Nodoka Eggs
[00:28] Mokotaro
If you can pick up the yolk with chopsticks,
that's the sign of a good egg, moko!
[00:33] Mokotaro
First you beat the eggs,
[00:35] Mokotaro
then you add seasoning,
SIGN Worcestershire

[00:39] Mokotaro
and then you add the rice
and mix it all together, moko!

Last, you add some ketchup on top,

Now I think I'll have a taste, moko!
[01:09] Mokotaro
It's so delici-moko!
[01:12] Mokotaro
It tastes like omelet rice, but the
texture is like raw eggs on rice,
[01:15] Mako
Ow!
[01:16] Mokotaro
so it feels totally new, moko!

[02:05] Mako; internal
So this is no-cook omelet rice.
[02:07] Mako; internal
Yup, it's delicious!
[02:14] Mako; internal
I'm just gonna...

shovel it all in at once!
[02:26] Mako
This is pure bliss.
SIGN Episode 1 "Welcome to the Food Culture Research Club"
[02:34] Mako; narration
My name is Mako Kawai.
[02:37] Mako; narration
This year, I've started living on my own
as a first-year university student.
[02:41] Mako; narration
Personality-wise, I'm very meek.
[02:43] Mako; narration
Every day, I do my very best to live quietly
[02:46] Mako; narration
so as not to cause trouble
for anyone around me.
[02:52] Mako; narration
But there are a few things
even I get excited about...
SIGN Mikawa Tonkatsu

like cooking and food!
[03:02] Mako; internal
I've never eaten out alone before, though.

Welcome!
SIGN Massage Spa
[03:12] Mako; internal
When I lived at home, I only
ever went out with my parents,
[03:16] Mako; internal
and now I cook for myself every day.
[03:19] Mako; internal
I don't have any friends
to go out with, either.
[03:22] Mako; internal
I'm a little nervous about eating out alone,
[03:27] Mako; internal
but it's good to experience
this kind of stuff, right?
[03:30] Mako; internal
Lend my timid self your strength,
[03:33] Mako; internal
O Mokotaro who lives within my heart!
SIGN Open
[03:39] Mako; internal
This place is hard to walk into alone.
I'll try somewhere else.
[03:45] staff; 20s; male
Party of two, this way, please!
[03:47] Mako; internal
Not this place. Too many people.
[03:52] Mako
The sauced katsudon looks delicious!
[03:55] customer; male
The food was great!
[03:56] Kurea's mom
Thank you for coming!
[04:01] Kurea's mom
Oh, I'm so sorry. We've sold out
of the sauced katsudon for today.
[04:07] Mako
N-No, I'm not ordering!
I was just looking! That's all!
[04:09] Mako
I-I'll leave now.
[04:12] Kurea's mom
O-Oh...
[04:20] Mako
In the end, I couldn't manage it.
[04:23] Mako
And after I called on the
power of Mokotaro, too!
[04:26] Mako
The Mokotaro inside me is just too weak.
[04:32] Mako
I know that all I have to do is go
into a shop like normal, but...
[04:38] Mako; internal
When did I become this way?
[04:42] Mako; internal
In elementary school, I had lots of friends,
[04:45] Mako; internal
and every day was one new
experience after another.
[04:49] Mako; internal
But as I grew older, I got scared of
trying new things and failing at them.
[04:56] Mako; internal
I didn't build any strong relationships.
[04:59] Mako; internal
I just lived quietly, trying to
preserve the way things were.
[05:03] Mako; internal
Well, it's not as if I dislike uneventful days.
[05:17] professor; female
That concludes today's lecture.
[05:19] professor; female
Everyone, make sure you review this section.
[05:23] Mako; internal
I have a free period before my next lecture.
[05:25] Mako; internal
Where should I go to kill time?
[05:28] staff
I've told you before, you need
four members to form a club.

This club you want to create...
The Food Culture Research Club, was it?
[05:37] staff
I already rejected your application
once because you only have three.
[05:41] Shinon
But we just can't find anyone else!
Why can't three be enough?
[05:46] staff
Because that's the rule.
[05:49] Shinon
But we're really good friends!
[05:52] staff
That's not relevant.
[05:55] Shinon
Well, it's not as though
we came without a plan B.
[06:00] Shinon
Hey, Tsutsuji! Give the clerk
the you-know-what!
[06:03] Tsutsuji
Roger that.
[06:05] Tsutsuji
This is for you.
[06:07] Tsutsuji
Please accept it.
[06:09] staff
What is it?
SIGN Bribe
[06:11] staff
What?
[06:12] Shinon
Well, I figured actually giving
you money wouldn't go down well,
[06:15] Shinon
so we put gold-colored origami paper inside.
[06:17] Shinon
We hope you'll accept it.
[06:19] staff
No way.
[06:20] Shinon
What? Could it be that you
prefer the holographic type?
[06:22] staff
That's not the problem here.
[06:24] staff
Now, hurry up and go away.
[06:26] Shinon
What is this?! What is this?!
[06:28] Shinon
You mean you're fine with us not
experiencing a fun club life?!
[06:32] staff
Yes.
[06:32] Shion
You're telling us to just attend our
classes and study properly? Is that it?
[06:38] staff
You should do that, yes.
[06:39] Shion
In that case, please just let us create a
three-person club to give ourselves a breather!
[06:44] staff
I told you, I can't.
[06:47] Shinon
If I could have one wish...
[06:49] Shinon
If I could have one wish,
it'd be that when I opened my eyes,
[06:53] Shinon
I'd find myself in a world where the
clerk before me had a generous heart!
[06:58] Shinon
Peek.
[06:58] staff
I already told you, no.
[07:06] Shinon
It didn't work.
[07:07] Tsutsuji
I think she just needed one more push.
[07:10] Kurea
No, she was nowhere near giving in.
[07:12] Kurea
Well, let's set the club thing aside for now.
It's almost time for lunch.
[07:17] Kurea
Let's go eat our bento.
[07:18] Tsutsuji
Yes, let's do that.
[07:24] Mako; internal
I woke up early to make
myself this soboro bento.
[07:27] Mako
Time to eat.
[07:29] Kurea
So what are we going to do about the club?
[07:32] Shinon
Good question.
[07:34] Shinon
We asked everyone we know already,
and they all turned us down.
[07:40] Shinon
Maybe we should start passing out flyers.
[07:44] Mako
This dashimaki omelet turned out well, too!
[07:46] Mako
Gold star, gold star...
[07:57] Mako; internal
That girl over there...
[07:58] Mako; internal
is totally glaring in my direction!
[08:01] Mako; internal
What? What is it? Did I do something wrong?
[08:04] Mako; internal
My clothes... aren't particularly unusual.
[08:07] Mako; internal
Is it the dashimaki omelet?
[08:09] Mako; internal
No, she can't possibly be looking at me.
[08:12] Mako; internal
I'm just being overly self-conscious.
[08:14] Mako; internal
Wait, she's not just looking...
She's coming closer?!
[08:18] Mako; internal
What?! What is it?!
[08:24] Shinon
Could you be Makocchi?
[08:26] Mako
What? H-How did you acquire
my personal information?
[08:30] Mako
Who are you?
[08:31] Kurea
Shinon, do you know her?
[08:33] Shinon
Yeah! I'm certain I know her!
[08:35] Mako; internal
More people I don't know!
[08:36] Shinon
Come on! It's me! We were in
elementary school together.
[08:41] Mako
Elementary school?
[08:44] (Flashback) young Mako
Oshinko, let's play!
[08:46] (Flashback) young Shinon
Okay, Makocchi!
[08:48] Mako
Could it be...
[08:50] Shinon
You remember me?
[08:51] Shinon
That's right! We were together in
elementary school! I'm Ogawa—
[08:54] Mako
Oshinko!
[08:56] Shinon
Huh?
[08:58] Tsutsuji
Oshinko?
[08:59] Kurea
Shinon, was that your nickname
in elementary school?
[09:02] Shinon
What? No, it's—
[09:03] Mako
Shinon Ogawa! It really is you, Oshinko!
[09:06] Mako
It's been so long, Oshinko!
[09:07] Shinon
You have it all wrong!
Okay, you don't, but please stop!
[09:09] Shinon
Don't call me by my old nickname!
No one knows it anymore!
[09:15] Mako
So we go to the same university.
I was really surprised!
[09:19] Shinon
Me, too!
[09:21] Shinon
What've you been up to lately, Makocchi?
[09:23] Mako
Lately? Nothing, really.
[09:27] Mako
What about you, Oshin—
[09:28] Mako
Shinon-chan?
[09:31] Shinon
Actually, the three of us just
went to submit an application
[09:35] Shinon
to create the Food Culture Research Club.
[09:38] Shinon
It got denied, though.
[09:39] Tsutsuji
Hello, I'm Tsutsuji Higa.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
[09:43] Mako
R-Right.
[09:44] Kurea
I'm Kurea Furutachi. We haven't met before.
[09:47] Mako
H-Hello.
[09:49] Mako
Um... I'm Mako Kawai.
[09:51] Kurea
Nice to meet you.
[09:53] Shinon
That's it! The Food Culture
Research Club I mentioned before
[09:56] Shinon
will be approved if we
can find one more person!
[09:59] Shinon
Makocchi, will you join?
[10:01] Shinon
We'll have a club room to use
however we like! It'll be fun!
[10:03] Mako
U-Um, well...
[10:08] Mako
I wasn't really thinking about
joining any clubs, so, um...
[10:14] Shinon
Oh, sorry! That came out of nowhere, right?
[10:17] Shinon
I just got so excited over
seeing you again after so long.
[10:20] Kurea
We should head to our classroom.
We're cutting it close on time.
[10:24] Shinon
Okay!
[10:25] Shinon
What's your next class, Makocchi?
[10:27] Mako
I don't have a class next period.
[10:30] Shinon
Oh, okay.
[10:31] Shinon
See you later!
[10:41] Mako
I'm back.
[10:44] Mako
Not that there's anyone here to reply.
[10:47] Mako
I never imagined Oshin—
[10:49] Mako
Shinon-chan would be at
the same university as me.
[10:55] Mako; internal
She seemed just as energetic
as she was back then.
[10:58] Mako; internal
I was surprised at first, but I didn't
act suspiciously or anything, right?
[11:05] Mako; internal
I was in such a panic, I might
have said something weird.
SIGN What have I done?
SIGN I called her by her elementary school nickname
without even thinking.
SIGN She invited me to join her club,
SIGN and I turned her down really clumsily.
SIGN There must have been a better way,
but my fear of new things

Good!
[12:17] Kurea
Huh? Is that you, Kawai-san?
[12:23] Mako
U-Um, you're...
[12:26] Kurea
Furutachi.
[12:27] Mako
Furutachi-san. U-Um, why are you here?
[12:32] Kurea
Why? Because my mom runs this place.
[12:36] Mako
What? Really?
[12:37] Kurea
I'm helping out by working part-time.
[12:40] Kurea
We ran out of seasonings, so I just
came back from the supermarket.
[12:45] Kurea
Our place has yummy food.
You should come eat some!
[12:48] Mako
No, I, um...
[12:50] Kurea
Yeah?
[12:51] Mako; internal
This is bad! My fear of new
things is kicking in again.
[12:55] Mako; internal
She's being nice and inviting me in!
[12:57] Mako; internal
But I'm scared of messing things up.
[13:08] Mako
I-I'll come in and eat!
[13:16] Kurea's mom; grandpa
Welcome!
[13:22] Kurea
Sit wherever you like.
[13:24] Mako
O-Okay.
[13:29] Kurea's mom
Oh! Are you a friend of Kurea's?
[13:32] Kurea
Yeah. She's from university.
[13:34] Kurea's mom
Thank you for looking out for Kurea.
[13:37] Mako
Oh, no, um... She looks out for me.
[13:41] Kurea's mom
Oh, have we met somewhere before?
[13:44] Mako
I-I think you must be mistaken.
[13:47] Kurea's mom
Oh, really?
[13:49] Kurea's mom
Let me know when you're ready to order.
[13:52] Mako
Thank you.
[13:54] customer A
Ma'am, one sauced katsudon!
[13:56] Kurea's mom
Coming!
[13:59] Kurea's mom
We have onsen eggs and sunny-side-up
eggs as toppings. Which would you like?
[14:03] customer A
I'll have an onsen egg.
[14:04] Kurea's mom
Sure.
[14:06] Mako; internal
I should have given her my order just now.
[14:09] Mako; internal
And Furutachi-san... went to the
other side of the kitchen, I guess.
[14:13] customer B
Two sauced katsudon over here, too, please!
[14:15] Kurea's mom
Coming up!
[14:16] customer C
One sauced katsudon for us, too.
[14:18] Kurea's mom
Of course!
[14:19] Mako; internal
The sauced katsudon is really popular.
[14:22] Mako; internal
That's right. Last time,
she said they'd sold out.
[14:25] Mako; internal
Since I managed to make
it into the restaurant,
[14:28] Mako; internal
I really want to eat it before I go.
[14:30] Mako; internal
Here I go!
[14:37] Kurea's mom
Have you decided?
[14:38] Mako
Y-Yes.
[14:39] Mako
Um, one s-s-s...
[14:42] Mako
One sauced katsudon, please!
[14:45] Kurea's mom
I'm sorry. We just ran out.
[14:53] Kurea
Mom, Grandpa's calling for you in the kitchen.
[14:56] Kurea
Did something happen?
[14:58] Kurea's mom
Your friend ordered a sauced katsudon,
but we just ran out.
[15:02] Kurea
Oh, I could make the sauced katsudon
I was saving for my staff meal.
[15:06] Kurea
Want to have that?
[15:07] Mako
Y-You don't mind?
[15:09] Kurea
You can choose onsen egg or

[17:29] Mako
Sh-Shinon-chan is fine.
[17:31] Kurea
Well, after that, Shinon just
kept talking about you.
[17:35] Kurea
She was making a fuss because she forgot
to ask for a way to contact you.
[17:39] (Flashback) Shinon
Please, just give me one more chance!
[17:42] Mako
Really? I was wishing that I'd
gotten her contact info, too.
[17:46] Kurea
Oh, want me to tell you, then?
[17:49] Mako
Y-Yes, please!
[17:51] Kurea
What was Shinon like in elementary school?
[17:55] Mako
Well...
[17:57] Mako
She always seemed to be running around.
[18:00] (Flashback) young Shinon
You're too slow, Makocchi!
[18:02] (Flashback) young Shinon
Oh! Dragonfly!
[18:05] (Flashback) young Mako
W-Wait for me!
[18:09] Kurea
So she's been like that
since she was a kid, huh?
[18:20] Mako
Th-Thanks for today.
The sauced katsudon was really good.
[18:25] Kurea
Really? I'm glad you liked it!

Huh?
[18:51] Mako
Oh...
[18:55] Mako
Right! See you there.
[19:02] Mako
That really was delicious. I'm glad I went in.
[19:07] Mako; internal
Furutachi-san was nice.
[19:09] Mako; internal
And Oshinko said she wanted
my contact info, too.
[19:13] Mako; internal
I thought she'd hate me.
Maybe I was worrying too much.
[19:17] Mako; internal
And Furutachi-san said she'd see me on campus.
[19:25] Mako; internal
Oshinko said she was starting a
Food Culture Research Club, right?
[19:30] Mako; internal
I wonder if I'd be able to eat and cook
lots of different things there.
[19:34] Mako; internal
I wonder if I'd be able to
encounter lots of new things,
[19:37] Mako; internal
like I used to in elementary school.

That scared me! It's just you, Shinon-chan.
[21:45] Shinon
Guess what, Makocchi?
[21:47] Shinon
Thanks to you, our club
application was approved!
[21:51] Tsutsuji
And apparently, we're already
allowed to use the club room.
[21:55] Tsutsuji
Would you like to come with us?
[21:56] Mako
Y-You don't mind?
[21:59] Kurea
Of course not! You're a member, same as us.
[22:02] Shinon
Right, then! Everyone, to the club room!
[22:13] Shinon
Oh, I can see it! I can see it!
[22:39] Shinon
It's kinda far from the main buildings, but
it's nice with all the greenery around, right?
[22:43] Kurea
Which part is our club room in?
[22:46] Tsutsuji
First floor, left corner.
[22:48] Mako; internal
This is where the club room is?
[22:50] Mako; internal
Will we cook and eat together here?
[22:55] Mako; internal
Whatever the case, I'm going to get
to eat lots of delicious food!

lives lazing around the club room!
[23:05] Mako
Huh?

What exactly does the Food

Huh? Didn't I tell you?
[23:13] Shinon
The whole Food Culture Research
Club thing is just a front.
[23:18] Mako
What?
[23:19] Shinon
I wanted a club room on campus where we could
just relax, so I tried to form this club.
[23:24] Shinon
But when I told the truth,
they wouldn't approve our application,
[23:27] Shinon
so I ended up randomly naming it
the Food Culture Research Club.
SIGN Application to Form a Student Group
Group Name: Food Culture Research Club
Group Status: Approved
[23:31] Mako
Then... what about food?
[23:34] Shinon
Well, if you get hungry, you can eat.
[23:38] Shinon
At any rate, Makocchi...
[23:42] Shinon
Welcome to the Food Culture Research Club!
[23:54] Shinon
Welcome!
[23:57] Tsutsuji
Yay!
