Tonight’s grocery selection was amazing!
[02:18] Kiyo Mono
Everything I needed was on sale!
[02:22] Police Officer
Hey! Kiyo!
[02:25] Police Officer
Shopping again?
[02:27] Kiyo
Officer!
[02:29] Police Officer
Looks heavy. You alright?
[02:32] Kiyo
Oh, I’m used to it.
[02:34] Police Officer
I remember all the bags you had
when I first met you.
[02:40] Police Officer
Hey, shouldn’t you be in school?
[02:45] Kiyo
I…
[02:51] Police Officer/Kiyo
How old are you?
[02:52] Police Officer/Kiyo
16.
[02:53] Police Officer
You’re not from Kyoto, are you?
[02:57] Kiyo
No, Aomori.
[02:58] Police Officer
What’s in your backpack?
[02:59] Kiyo
Huh?
[03:00] Police Officer
Something you can’t tell me?
[03:04] Kiyo
Well, there’s not much to tell.
[03:08] Police Officer
I bet you’re running away from home!
[03:11] Kiyo
No! I bought daikon radish!
Three of them!
[03:15] Police Officer
What!? Why so many?
[03:19] Police Officer
And that bundle?
[03:20] Kiyo
Potatoes, sir!
[03:22] Police Officer
What!?
No one carries potatoes like that!
[03:25] Police Officer
You must be a runaway!
[03:28] Kiyo
I used my cloth as a bag!
[03:30] Police Officer
I still feel bad about it.
[03:33] Police Officer
I couldn’t believe the Maiko House cook
was a 16-year-old!
[03:41] Kiyo Narr
The Maiko return to shared rooms
and meals after work.
[03:47] Kiyo Narr
Their home is the Maiko House.
[03:49] Kiyo Narr
This is Mother.
She is in charge of the House and the girls.
[03:53] Kiyo Narr
Senior maiko are called Sister.
[03:56] Kiyo Narr
The maiko live together as a family.
[04:01] Police Officer
You make every meal at the Maiko House.
[04:06] Police Officer
Kiyo, you truly are a professional cook.
[04:10] Kiyo Narr
My name is Kiyo. I’m 16.
[04:13] Kiyo Narr
I’ve unexpectedly found my place
as the Maiko House live-in cook.
[04:21] Kiyo Mono
School trip?
[04:23] Kiyo Mono
Those remind me of my school uniform.
[04:27] Kiyo Mono
Hard to believe I wore one until recently.
[04:31] Students
Maiko!
[04:33] Students
Where!?
[04:37] Kiyo Mono
Oh, it’s Sumire!
[04:48] Kiyo
What a relief!
The fridge is nice and full again.
[04:52] Sumire
Kiyo?
[04:55] Kiyo
Sumire!
[04:57] Kiyo
Why are you home at this hour?
[05:01] Kiyo
You don’t have to see Sister off?
[05:03] Sumire
No, Mother asked to see me later.
[05:07] Kiyo
What’s going on?
[05:09] Sumire
Whenever I see you,
there’s no time to chat.
[05:12] Kiyo
Did you lose weight?
Are you sleeping?
[05:15] Sumire
Not much, but I’m not tired somehow.
[05:20] Sumire
An apprentice maiko like me
is constantly learning.
[05:25] Sumire
I practice when everyone is asleep.
[05:29] Sumire
I need to keep working hard.
It’s for my own sake.
[05:36] Sumire/Kiyo
I better go see Mother now.
[05:39] Sumire/Kiyo
Okay.
[05:45] Sumire
Kiyo! Big news!
[05:47] Sumire
Oh my goodness! I, I, I...
[05:51] Sumire
Sensei gave me permission to debut!
I’m going to be a maiko!
[05:57] Sumire
Oh, I made it!
[06:00] Sumire
I’m finally becoming a maiko!
[06:11] Kiyo
Sumire!
[06:13] Kiyo
Congratulations!
[06:15] Kiyo
You did it!
[06:17] Kiyo
Congrats!
[06:27] Sumire
Thanks.
[06:29] Kiyo
Oh, I bought pudding with my allowance!
[06:33] Kiyo
Let’s celebrate, okay?
[06:35] Sumire
Sure. I’ll go wash my hands, okay?
[06:38] Kiyo
Great!

[06:53] Kiyo

I turned store-bought pudding
into pudding a la mode!
[07:43] Sumire
I was so happy!
[07:45] Sumire
Pudding always feels like a reward.
[07:48] Kiyo
It does.
Hey, do you know of rice pudding?
[07:53] Kiyo
All I know is that it’s a kind of pudding.
[07:57] Sumire
Hmm. Let’s look it up.
[08:00] Sumire
Rice pudding...
Found it!
[08:05] Sumire
It’s "rice porridge stewed in milk."
[08:11] Kiyo
It’s nothing like what I imagined.
[08:13] Sumire
"The Japanese word ‘purin’
comes from pudding."
[08:18] Sumire
"A steamed mixture
of flour, eggs, and other ingredients."
[08:23] Kiyo
Pudding at a restaurant abroad
isn’t always a dessert?
[08:28] Sumire
I guess not.
[08:29] Sumire
It says many Japanese are surprised
to see their pudding order.
[08:36] Kiyo
I’m surprised, too!

Great!
[09:23] Sensei
Your Sumire is a rare talent.
[09:28] Mother
Thank you, Sensei.
[09:31] Sensei
There are many attractive girls
like Sumire who will become maiko.
[09:38] Sensei
And some girls practice just as hard.
[09:43] Sensei
But there are none who can drive themselves
to strive as she does.
[09:52] Sumire
Sensei, can you teach me again?
Please! Please!
[09:56] Sensei Mono
I’d like to use the bathroom.
[09:59] Sensei
Well, her drive does
make others uneasy at times.
[10:05] Mother
I’m sorry.
[10:06] Kiyo
Excuse me.
[10:11] Kiyo
I have fresh coffee.
[10:14] Sensei
The first cup was delicious.
Is she a new apprentice?
[10:19] Mother
It’s Kiyo.
She started with Sumire as your student.
[10:24] Sensei
Oh, yes, the clumsy one.
[10:28] Kiyo
How embarrassing.
[10:29] Mother
I’ve asked her to work here
as the live-in cook.
[10:34] Mother
Our Maiko House couldn’t go on
without her cooking.
[10:39] Sensei
Oh, that’s impressive.
[10:42] Sensei
But your friend Sumire is the one
who is truly impressive.
[10:48] Sensei
She may have what it takes to be
the once-in-a-century maiko.
[11:01] Sensei
What an odd girl.
[11:09] Sensei
Oh, delicious!
[11:11] Mother
Kiyo made them.

Who knows?
[12:39] Maiko
Eat all this?
[12:41] Maiko
I give up.
[12:43] Maiko
Already?
[12:48] Maiko D
It was too much!
[12:50] Maiko E
I agree.
[12:52] Sumire
May I be excused, Sisters?
[12:55] Maiko A
Sure.
[12:56] Maiko F
Is Sumire reviewing again?
[12:59] Maiko G
She works so hard.
[13:01] Maiko F
Look at Sumire’s plate, Sister!
[13:04] Maiko G
Wow!
[13:06] Maiko G
Not a bite left! Did she eat it all?
[13:09] Maiko
I can’t believe it.

Great!

Now for supper!

You made so many dishes today.

[14:06] Sumire
But they couldn’t finish them.
[14:08] Maiko
Give us a break!
[14:11] Sumire
So, how are nutrient-packed foods
different from others?
[14:16] Maiko
The difference?
[14:18] Sumire
Are there certain ingredients
that must be put in?
[14:24] Sumire
Is there a definition?
[14:27] Kiyo
What ingredients come to your mind?
[14:34] Sumire
Um, I guess meat and garlic.
[14:37] Sumire
Aren’t those ingredients used?
[14:42] Kiyo
Mm, maybe. I wonder.
[14:45] Sumire
Let’s look it up.
[14:48] Sumire
Mm, I don’t see any rules about it here.
[14:53] Kiyo
Really?
[14:54] Sumire
"Stamina means
physical strength or endurance."
[14:58] Sumire
"As long as it gives the body strength,
the ingredients don’t matter."
[15:02] Kiyo
So, anything that strengthens
and invigorates?
[15:07] Sumire
I guess.
[15:09] Kiyo
It can be any dish
as long as it energizes a person!
[15:16] Kiyo
I’ll make any nutrient-packed
food you want!
[15:19] Kiyo
I’ll work extra hard!
[15:22] Sumire
Nutrient-packed food I want?
[15:24] Sumire
You know how they say
sticky foods are healthy?
[15:29] Sumire
Filling up on them will give me energy!
[15:32] Kiyo
Like mozuku seaweed, okra,
nameko mushrooms...
[15:37] Sumire
Chinese yam and taro!
[15:39] Kiyo
Then tomorrow will be all sticky foods!

Yay!

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Hardworking as usual.
[16:35] Big Brother
Even Sensei was praising her,
saying she’s a once-in-a-century maiko.
[16:42] Big Brother
If I were still working…
[16:44] Big Brother
I would’ve liked to help Sumire
prepare for her debut.
[16:51] Mother
Oh, please.

Otokoshi mustn’t lavish
praise on just one girl.

Mother, are you worried
about Sumire’s weight loss?

I can’t tell her not to work as hard.

It’s not easy to be Mother.

Has the bathroom light burned out again?

No, Kiyo dropped something
behind the refrigerator.
SIGN Male help is invaluable in Kagai.
SIGN And only a precious few can even set foot in the Maiko House.

Thank you! A coffee for your trouble.
[18:16] Kiyo
And a freshly baked scone.
[18:18] Big Brother
Thanks.
[18:20] Big Brother
I had no idea you could cook so well, Kiyo.
[18:25] Big Brother
As an apprentice, you could never remember
any kimono-dressing steps.
[18:32] Kiyo
How embarrassing.
[18:34] Kiyo
Thank you for your help.

is from the library.

[04:31] Sumire
I managed to keep my bun.
[04:34] Maiko
Ooh!
[04:35] Maiko G
Right! I have something for you.
[04:38] Maiko G
This is your new pillow.
[04:40] Sumire
What?!
[04:43] Narr
A maiko sleeps on a pillow with
a wood base to protect her hairstyle.
[04:50] Maiko G
You can do this.
[04:52] Maiko D
We’ve all been through it.
[04:55] Tsurukoma
Just bear it.
[04:57] Maiko G
Poor girl.
[04:58] Tsurukoma
Don’t cry, Sister.
[05:08] Sumire
It’s too high to breathe.
My body keeps slipping.
[05:13] Sumire
My neck is bent.
My stomach and elbows hurt, too.
[05:18] Sumire
My cheeks are numb
under the weight of my head.
[05:23] Sumire
And my head feels so unstable!
[05:27] Sumire
I can’t sleep!
[05:31] Sumire
This is tougher than I thought.
[05:36] Sumire
But I’m not giving up!
[05:45] Sumire
I give up.
[05:48] Sumire
What to do?
[05:54] Sumire
Kiyo?
[05:55] Kiyo
I knew it!
[05:58] Kiyo
It’ll be ready in no time.
[06:03] Kiyo
Everyone says sleep is
impossible the first night.
[06:06] Kiyo
So, I prepared something.
[06:09] ---
Amazake
(Drink made by fermenting
rice and koji mold.
Sweet as sugar.)
[06:11] Sumire
Amazake!
[06:14] Kiyo
A warm belly may help you sleep.
[06:23] Sumire
Thanks, Kiyo.

Dish of the Day
[06:48] Kiyo
Today’s dish is amazake.
[06:50] Kiyo
It warms your body on cold days.
[06:53] Sumire
I always got some
at the shrine on New Year’s.
[06:57] Sumire
I like it, but some people
find the flavor too unique.
[07:03] Kiyo
Amazake is made from
sake lees or rice koji mold.
[07:09] Kiyo
The taste and flavor are so different.
[07:12] Sumire
Mm hm.
[07:13] Sumire
They are made differently, too.
[07:18] Sumire
So…
[07:19] Sumire
"Sake lees are dissolved in water."
[07:23] Sumire
"Then it is seasoned with sugar."
[07:27] Sumire
"Sake lees have slight traces
of alcohol from the Japanese sake."
[07:27] ---
Sake lees
[07:32] Sumire
"To make the other kind, koji mold
is used to ferment steamed rice."
[07:34] ---
Rice koji mold
[07:39] Sumire
"So, it doesn’t contain alcohol."
[07:42] Sumire
"It’s naturally sweet,
smooth and easy to drink."
[07:47] Kiyo
Some people only like amazake
made with rice koji mold.
[07:53] Kiyo
Did you know you can make it
at home with koji mold?
[07:58] Sumire
I heard you were simmering rice, Kiyo.
[08:03] Sumire
You used it for amazake!
[08:07] Kiyo
I put the pot under a blanket with
a hot water bottle for fermentation.
[08:14] Sumire
You can also put the pot
in a styrofoam box.
[08:21] Sumire
"Styrofoam retains heat well."
[08:24] Sumire
"It is ideal for keeping
temperature constant."
[08:28] Kiyo
There are many kinds of amazake.
[08:31] Kiyo
Homemade and available
in stores, also.
[08:35] Kiyo
Tasting them to find a favorite
would be fun.

Kiyo, I’ll help you serve.
[09:24] Kiyo
Sumire! Thanks!
[09:27] Sumire
I can’t relax sitting, anyway.
[09:32] Sumire
Mother wants to see me
after we eat.
[09:36] Kiyo/Sumire
What happened?
[09:37] Kiyo/Sumire
Nothing.
[09:39] Sumire
I’m finding out my maiko name.
[09:44] ---
Maiko Debut
[09:45] Narr
A debuting maiko receives a name
[09:48] Narr
from her House mother
for her formal introduction.
[09:53] ---
The name could take a character
from her mentor’s name
[09:58] ---
or divined at a shrine.
[10:02] Narr
She will live her Kagai days
with this name.
[10:07] Kiyo
Ah, wait!
[10:10] Kiyo
Take this, too.
[10:12] Kiyo
Honey instead of maple syrup,
just for you.
[10:16] Sumire
Honey absolutely goes
best with hotcakes.
[10:21] Kiyo
You’ve said so since we were kids.
[10:25] Sumire
It’s my commitment for life.
[10:51] Teacher
Next.
[10:53] Sumire
Yes!
[10:55] Sumire
My name is Sumire.
[10:58] Sumire
It’s the word for violets.
[11:01] Sumire
In floral language,
it means to be faithful.
[11:05] Teacher
Thank you.
[11:07] Teacher
Next.
[11:15] Sumire
I don’t like the name Sumire.
[11:18] Kiyo
But it’s perfect for you.
[11:21] Sumire
Exactly!
[11:23] Sumire
A lovelier name may have
made me a lovelier person.
[11:30] Sumire
Kiyo means pure heart.
[11:33] Sumire
Kenta means healthy body.
[11:35] Sumire
Don’t you want more?
[11:39] Kenta
Who cares about names?
[11:45] Sumire
I don’t get it.
[11:53] Sensei
There! Lower your backside.
[11:56] Sensei
Yes.
[11:58] Senseei
That’s good.
[12:00] Sensei
You’ve improved, Momohana.
[12:03] Sumire
Thank you, Sensei.
[12:09] Sensei
Mother Matsu, Sumire is
even more brilliant as Momohana.
[12:15] Mother
She is.
[12:17] Mother
I see slight changes
in her daily behaviors, too.
[12:22] Mother
She has embraced her new name.
[12:29] Tsurukoma
Kiyo, we’ll help serve.
[12:32] Kiyo
Thanks!
[12:33] Kiyo
This tray, please.
[12:35] Kiyo
Can you take the other, Sumire?
[12:38] Sumire
Okay.
[12:39] Tsurukoma
Come on Kiyo,
she’s Momohana now!
[12:44] Tsurukoma
No one else in Kagai
calls her Sumire.
[12:48] Tsurukoma
Everyone’s praising her
for growing into Momohana.
[12:54] Kiyo
Sorry.
[12:56] Tsurukoma
I’ll take this now.
[12:58] Kiyo
Thanks!
[13:00] Kiyo
Wait! This, too!
[13:04] Kiyo
Honey for hotcakes.
[13:12] Sumire

Dish of the Day
[13:36] Kiyo
Hotcakes are tasty and easy to make.
[13:40] Kiyo
If you don’t have hotcake mix,
just use flour.
[13:45] Kiyo
You’ll need flour, eggs, milk,
sugar and baking powder.
[13:50] Kiyo
Add vanilla essence if you wish,
and simply bake in a frying pan.
[13:55] Sumire
I like them hot off the stove.
[13:59] Sumire
With some butter and plenty of honey.
[14:04] Kiyo
Most of the girls here
like maple syrup.
[14:07] Kiyo
But you always prefer honey, right?
[14:11] Sumire
It’s my commitment for life.
[14:15] Kiyo
So, Sumire.
[14:16] Kiyo
I’ve had a pressing question
about hotcakes.
[14:22] Sumire
Yes, what is it, Kiyo?
[14:25] Kiyo
Are hotcakes and pancakes different?
[14:28] Sumire
That’s a tricky one.
[14:32] Sumire
Are hotcakes thick
and pancakes thin?
[14:33] ---
Thickness
[14:37] Kiyo
But some places serve
fluffy thick pancakes.
[14:41] Sumire
Maybe pancakes have fruit
or whipped cream on them?
[14:43] ---
Toppings
[14:45] Sumire
And hotcakes topped
with syrup only?
[14:48] Kiyo
But some pancakes
have no toppings.
[14:51] Sumire
True. Let’s look it up as usual.
[14:56] Tsurukoma
Haha, you seem puzzled.
[15:00] Sumire
Oh, Tsurukoma Sister.
[15:02] Tsurukoma
I, Tsurukoma, senior maiko
of the House will answer!
[15:07] Tsurukoma
Hotcakes are a sweet snack.
Pancakes are more like a meal.
[15:15] Tsurukoma
I guess.
[15:16] Sumire
You know everything, Tsurukoma!
[15:20] Tsurukoma
Well, don’t stop there.
Ask me anything!
[15:25] Mother
Pancakes and hotcakes are the same.
[15:28] Tsurukoma
Eh?
[15:30] Mother
"Any cake baked in
a flat-bottomed pan is a pancake."
[15:35] Mother
"So, hotcakes are
the same as pancakes."
[15:39] Kiyo
Oh!
[15:40] Sumire
Of course, Mother knows.
[15:42] Tsurukoma
That reminds me, I better go!
[15:46] Tsurukoma
Bye now!
[15:47] Kiyo
She’s fled.
[15:48] Sumire
Only Tsurukoma can
misunderstand and be so confident.

Chapter 6 Snowy Day Reminiscence
[16:35] Sumire
Kiyo?
[16:37] Sumire
Morning.
[16:39] Kiyo
Morning. You’re up early, Sumire.
[16:42] Kiyo
I mean, Momohana.
[16:44] Sumire
Your snow shoveling woke me up.
[16:47] Kiyo
Oops.
[16:48] Sumire
It made me so happy, I got up.
[16:55] Sumire
I’ll help you.
[16:56] Kiyo
Great, thanks!
[16:59] Sumire
Oh?
[17:03] Sumire
This shovel won’t do.
[17:07] Kiyo
I’m almost done, anyway.
[17:11] Kiyo
Why don’t you stay warm inside?
[17:14] Sumire
Okay.
[17:22] Sumire
Kiyo?
[17:25] Sumire
Can I stay and watch?
[17:28] Kiyo
Um, sure.
[18:56] Kiyo
Sumire!
[18:59] Kiyo
I mean, Momohana.
[19:01] Kiyo
I’m done.
[19:17] Sumire
Sorry.
[19:18] Sumire
I lost track where I was
listening to you shovel snow.
[19:26] Sumire
It sounded the same as in Aomori.
[19:30] Sumire
Your sound, Kiyo.
[19:32] Kiyo
Of course.
[19:41] Sumire
Right, of course.
[20:03] Sumire
What’s for breakfast?
[20:05] Kiyo
A snowy morning
could only mean one thing.
[20:09] Kiyo
You know…
[20:12] Kiyo & Sumire
Wheat dumplings!
[20:14] Kiyo
Great! I’ll need your help today, Sumire.
[20:18] Sumire
Alright.
[20:19] Kiyo
Sorry, I meant Momohana.
[20:28] Sumire
You can keep calling me Sumire.

[20:59] Tsurukoma
Ah, I can’t stand the snow and cold!
[21:03] Tsurukoma
I’m never leaving the foot warmer!
[21:06] Sumire
On cold days, it’s best to heat the body
from the inside with warm broth.
[21:12] Tsurukoma
Yes, drinking hot soup
on cold days is so soothing.
[21:17] Tsurukoma
So, what was the warm soup
we had for breakfast today?
[21:23] Sumire
Hittsumi, wheat dumpling soup.
[21:26] Sumire
Kiyo and I always had it
after shoveling snow.
[21:31] Sumire
Shoveling Aomori’s heavy snow
is hard work.
[21:35] Sumire
You’re exhausted
and chilled to the bone.
[21:40] Sumire
Homemade Hittsumi soup
warms the body and spirit.
[21:46] Sumire
The taste has memories
of snowy days for me and Kiyo.
[21:52] Tsurukoma
Taste with memories… I like that.
[21:57] Tsurukoma
I’ve never had it before,
but it tasted familiar.
[22:03] Tsurukoma
The white chewy things in the soup.
[22:07] Tsurukoma
I think I’ve had them before.
[22:11] Tsurukoma
What were those?
[22:13] Sumire
That’s the hittsumi.
[22:15] Sumire
Hittsumi are torn up and boiled
pieces of kneaded flour and water.
[22:22] Tsurukoma
So, kneaded flour with water.
[22:24] Tsurukoma
A-ha! Like suiton dumplings!
[22:27] Tsurukoma
No wonder I knew
that smooth chewy texture.
[22:32] Sumire
What’s suiton?
[22:34] Tsurukoma
You must know suiton!
[22:37] Tsurukoma
The soup with the
chewy white things.
[22:40] Sumire
No, that’s hittsumi.
[22:43] Tsurukoma
I remember now!
[22:46] Tsurukoma
There are regional foods
like suiton all over Japan.
[22:50] Tsurukoma
Each one has a different name.
[22:53] Sumire
Maybe it’s called suiton
in your hometown, Tsurukoma.
[22:58] Sumire
But we call it hittsumi back home.
[23:01] Kiyo
That’s so interesting!
[23:05] Tsurukoma
Mmhm.

A toasty hot-water bottle!

The kitchen is chilly.
[03:50] Kiyo
I wonder what Kyoto's like.
[03:53] Kiyo
Maybe not as cold as Aomori.

Mmhm.

[04:14] Kiyo

[04:47] Sumire
It's us with maiko

[04:51] Kiyo
Oh yeah!
[04:52] Sumire
We decided to become maiko that day.
[04:56] Kiyo
You couldn't sleep and came over.
[04:59] Kenta
Even I was stuck here till late.
[05:03] Sumire
You're in here, too.
[05:05] Kenta
And?
[05:07] Kiyo
Will you keep playing baseball?
[05:09] Kenta
Yeah, so I applied to the top school.
[05:12] Kiyo
It's amazing that baseball
got you into that selective school!

as the baking pan.
[07:04] Kiyo
Miso kayaki
is an Aomori specialty.
[07:07] ---
Miso Kayaki
[07:08] Sumire
Miso is fermented
soybean paste.
[07:12] Sumire
"There are different names
for this dish, even in Aomori.
[07:16] Sumire
But it's so common, you could say
it's the taste of home."
[07:23] Sumire
Brings back memories.
[07:25] Sumire
Your Grandma made it for us often.
[07:30] Kiyo
Grandma's had miso,
Welsh onions and eggs.
[07:35] Kiyo
The occasional scallop felt extravagant.
[07:39] Sumire
Yes! A large scallop was a feast!
[07:45] Kiyo
The recipe is very simple.
[07:48] Kiyo
Use the scallop shell as a pan to heat
scallops and water over an open fire.
[07:56] Kiyo
When it boils, stir in miso,
Welsh onions and egg.
[08:01] Kiyo
That's it!
[08:02] Sumire
The miso and eggs are perfect with rice.
[08:06] Sumire
I recommend it on freshly cooked rice.
[08:10] Kiyo
Please try this easy and
delicious recipe at home!
[08:15] Kiyo
But there's just one thing.
[08:18] Sumire
Right.
[08:20] Sumire
The key item in this recipe
may be hard to find at home.
[08:26] Kiyo & Sumire
The scallop shell!
[08:29] Sumire
Not everyone has scallop shells
at home like you, Kiyo.
[08:34] Kiyo
I should have packed some
with my hot-water bottle.

[11:16] Tsurukoma
Thanks.
[11:18] Tsurukoma
When is Cooking Auntie coming back?
[11:22] Tsurukoma
I’m tired of ready-to-eat bento boxes.
[11:26] Maiko C
Me, neither.
[11:27] Maiko D
Me, neither.
[11:28] Maiko B
I heard Auntie isn’t coming back.
[11:32] Maiko
What!?
[11:33] Mother
Listen, Kiyo.
[11:35] Kiyo
Yes.
[11:38] Kiyo
Stop?
[11:39] Mother
There's no need for you
to continue maiko lessons.
[11:45] Mother
You're not meant for it,
so go home to Aomori.
[11:55] Sumire
Kiyo!
[11:56] Kiyo
Sumire.
[11:57] Sumire
Are you really going back to Aomori?
[12:00] Kiyo
Mm.
[12:01] Sumire
But we promised to be maiko together.
[12:04] Kiyo
Sorry.
[12:05] Kiyo
But I know you're going to be
a wonderful maiko!
[12:10] Sumire
Thanks...
[12:13] Kiyo
My warmer.
[12:16] Kiyo
I never used it.
[12:23] Kiyo
Sumire.
[12:28] Kiyo
Something smells.
[12:30] Sumire
Huh?
[12:33] Tsurukoma
No, no, no, help!
[12:35] Sumire
Sister, what happened?
[12:40] Tsurukoma
I tried to cook something,
because I couldn't buy dinner.
[12:45] Kiyo
Oh my.
[12:47] Tsurukoma
I haven't felt like eating,
so I'll just skip dinner.
[12:52] Sumire
I'm the same way, too.
[12:55] Maiko E
I think we all feel that way.

[13:04] Sumire

Can I...
[13:09] Kiyo
... cook something?
[13:21] Maiko F
Ah, she's up!
[13:22] Maiko G
Kiyo?
[13:25] Maiko G
We're so hungry.
[13:34] Kiyo
Sorry, it'll be ready soon!

Dish of the Day
[13:57] Kiyo
The chicken-egg bowl was
how I began cooking for Maiko House.
[14:03] Sumire
You used what you found
in the fridge to quickly put it together.
[14:10] Tsurukoma
It's so cool that you can
just whip something up.
[14:16] Kiyo
Not at all!
[14:19] Tsurukoma
We only ate bento boxes
after Cooking Auntie was hospitalized.
[14:23] Tsurukoma
It was reassuring to eat
homecooked food again.
[14:28] Sumire
Rice bowls are loved by everyone.
[14:31] Tsurukoma
Truly.
[14:33] Tsurukoma
You know what's special
about chicken-egg bowls?
[14:37] Kiyo & Sumire
Chicken parent and child in one bowl!
[14:41] Tsurukoma
You knew!?
[14:43] Tsurukoma
Non-chicken meat and egg
make a non-family rice bowl.
[14:48] Sumire
Your chicken-egg rice bowl
was as good as a restaurant.
[14:53] Sumire
Is there a trick?
[14:55] Kiyo
I don't whisk the egg white
and yolk too much.
[14:59] Kiyo
They cook at different temperatures.
[15:02] Kiyo
A partly whisked egg
will be nice and runny.
[15:07] ---
Soft
[15:08] Kiyo
You can whisk the egg completely.
[15:12] Kiyo
But your chicken-egg bowl will be firm.
[15:15] ---
Firm
[15:17] Sumire
I also like jiggly hard-boiled eggs.
[15:22] Tsurukoma
No, fluffy and soft-boiled is best.
[15:26] Tsurukoma
Topped with plenty of dried seaweed
and seven-spice seasoning.
[15:31] Sumire
It would taste like a junk food snack.
[15:34] Tsurukoma
No, it's delicious with dried seaweed!
[15:38] Tsurukoma
Just try it!
[15:41] Kiyo
Dried seaweed is great with rice bowls!
[15:44] Tsurukoma
The perfect combo.
[15:47] Tsurukoma
You could even skip the chicken and egg!
[15:50] Sumire
That's just a plain rice bowl.

Chapter 9 An Apprentice Maiko's Morning
[16:07] Mother
I'm sorry, Kiyo.
[16:09] Mother
Momohana will be at the tea house
and can't do chores today.
[16:15] Mother
Help will be here tomorrow.
[16:19] Kiyo
I can manage today.
[16:22] Kiyo
I like doing chores around the house.
[16:25] Mother
I'm glad to hear that.
[16:32] Mother
As an apprentice, you were diligent
about chores instead of dance.
[16:40] Kiyo
How embarrassing.
[16:46] Narr
Apprentices must train
before becoming maiko.
[16:52] Narr
During this period,
they assist maiko and take care of
[16:54] Narr
Maiko House chores like
laundry, cleaning, and errands.
[17:00] Apprentice A
Good morning!
[17:02] Kiyo
Good morning!
[17:04] Apprentice A
Does Momohana's tea house
apprenticeship start today?
[17:09] Kiyo
Yes!
[17:10] Apprentice A
She debuts soon.
[17:12] Apprentice B
Our House mother said
Momohana is first to debut this year.
[17:19] Apprentice A
Wow.
[17:21] Apprentice B
She truly is amazing.
[17:24] Apprentice A
She's our star this year.
[17:27] Kiyo
Mmhm.
[17:44] Tsurukoma
I'm home.
[17:45] Tsurukoma
Why aren't you in the kitchen!?
[17:49] Kiyo
Welcome home.
[17:50] Tsurukoma
You're cleaning!?
[17:51] Kiyo
Sumire can't today.
[17:53] Tsurukoma
Ah, she’s starting
her tea house apprenticeship.
[17:57] Kiyo
Mm.
[18:16] Mother
Smooth wrinkles before hanging laundry.
[18:19] Sumire
Yes.
[18:20] Kiyo
Okay.
[18:25] Mother
Start cleaning from the top.
[18:27] Sumire
Yes.
[18:28] Kiyo
Okay.
[18:32] Sumire
Look at these bite-size sandwiches!
[18:35] Kiyo
They're so tiny!
[18:37] Cooking Auntie
They're bite-size
so the maiko’s lipstick stays.
[18:42] Kiyo & Sumire
Wow!
[18:44] Cooking Auntie
Apprentices get regular ones.
[18:48] Kiyo
Looks delicious!
[18:51] Sumire
I want to eat mini sandwiches, too.
[19:13] Kiyo
Great!
[19:19] ---
Mini Cutlet Sandwiches
(bite-size for maiko)
[19:26] Sumire
Kiyo, am I first to eat today?
[19:32] Kiyo
Yeah.

Thank you.

Dish of the Day
[20:53] Kiyo
Bite-size cutlet sandwiches.
[20:57] Tsurukoma
It's hard for maiko to reapply makeup.
[21:00] Tsurukoma
Bite-size food won't rub
the lipstick off while eating.
[21:06] Kiyo
Mini sandwiches and rice balls.
[21:09] Kiyo
I even make bite-size
fried dumplings and spring rolls.
[21:13] Sumire
Miniature food looks cute,
but cooking it seems like a lot of work.
[21:18] Sumire
Sandwiches are convenient
for their versatility.
[21:25] Tsurukoma
You can enjoy so many flavors
by changing what you put inside.
[21:30] Tsurukoma
What do you prefer, Momohana?
[21:34] Sumire
Let me see.
[21:36] Sumire
Pork cutlet, egg, or ham and lettuce.
[21:40] Sumire
And tuna.
[21:43] Sumire
Pork, ham, minced meat and
croquettes are all great cutlets.
[21:48] Tsurukoma
You're so earnest.
[21:51] Tsurukoma
I was just asking you for fun.
[21:55] Kiyo
Then how about you,
Tsurukoma Sister?
[22:01] Tsurukoma
It's not sandwich but a bread dish.
[22:06] Tsurukoma
Kiyo once made bread pudding for me.
[22:09] Tsurukoma
It was sweet like pudding,
and the taste of happiness.
[22:13] Sumire
Why haven't I had that?
[22:17] Tsurukoma
Oh no! It was a secret!
[22:21] Tsurukoma
Anyway, how about you, Kiyo?
[22:27] Sumire
Changing the subject?
[22:29] Kiyo
Sandwich I like?
[22:31] Kiyo
Mm, I like them all.
[22:35] Kiyo
But the cut off crusts are the best.
[22:38] Sumire
I remember!
[22:39] Sumire
Crispy fried bread crust rusks
with sprinkled sugar!
[22:45] Sumire
Kiyo's snack specialty!
[22:47] Kiyo
Sweet, light and crispy.
[22:49] Sumire
You just can't stop.
[22:52] Tsurukoma
Gulp.
[22:53] Sumire
This is making me want some.
[22:57] Tsurukoma
Kiyo, sneak me some rusks
when you make sandwiches again?
[23:03] Sumire
Sister, can't you share?
[23:05] Tsurukoma
Forgive me!

What I Want to Eat
[01:40] Kiyo
What can I make for supper?
[01:43] Tsurukoma
Kiyo?
[01:45] Tsurukoma
Great coffee.
[01:48] Kiyo
Thanks, I’ll take those.
[01:50] Tsurukoma
Yesterday’s sandwiches were delicious!
[01:54] Kiyo
Thanks.
[01:56] Kiyo
What would you like for supper?
[02:00] Tsurukoma
Let’s see.
[02:02] Tsurukoma
Pasta!
[02:03] Maiko A
Ramen noodles!
[02:04] Maiko B
Pork cutlet!
[02:07] Tsurukoma
And you, Momohana?
[02:09] Sumire
Me? I want…
[02:11] Maiko C
Momohana?
[02:13] Sumire
Yes!
[02:14] Maiko C
Mother wants you.
[02:16] Sumire
Thank you, Sister.
[02:19] Sumire
I want fried chicken.
[02:27] Kiyo
They all want different dishes.
[02:30] Kiyo
I guess I have a few choices
with these ingredients.
[02:42] Kiyo
Maybe I should cook what I want to eat.
[02:46] Kiyo
I want…
[03:02] Senior Maiko/Sumire
Momohana, more sake.
[03:04] Senior Maiko/Sumire
Yes.
[03:05] Sumire
Sake, please.
[03:07] Kitchen Attendant
Sure, and bring this, too.
[03:10] Sumire
Yes.
[03:17] Kitchen Attendant
No supper?
[03:19] Sumire
I’ve been so busy.
[03:23] Kiyo
What would you like for supper?
[03:25] Sumire
Fried chicken.
[03:27] Sumire
Ever since that conversation…
[03:30] Sumire
I can only think of fried chicken!
[03:34] Sumire
Even this fancy meal looks like it!
[03:38] Senior Maikio
Good job today.
[03:40] Sumire
Thank you, Sister.
[03:47] Passerby
Oh, a maiko.
[03:49] Passerby
So pretty!
[03:51] Sumire
I’m so hungry, I want…
[03:56] Sumire
Fried chicken.
[03:59] Passerby
Fried chicken?
[04:00] Sumire
I said that out loud!?
[04:03] Sumire
Where can I get fried chicken!?
[04:08] Sumire
Convenience store!
[04:09] Sumire
Thank goodness, they’ll have some.
[04:13] Sumire
I’m coming for you, fried chicken!
[04:18] Passersby
Huh?
[04:19] Passersby
A maiko?
[04:20] Passerby
Where’s she headed?
[04:23] Narr
Maiko dressed for work may not
step foot in convenience stores.
[04:29] Narr
They can only enter on rare days off with
their hair down and in regular clothing.
[04:41] Kiyo
Sumire, welcome home!
[04:43] Sumire
Kiyo?
[04:45] Kiyo
I saved some supper for you.
[04:47] Sumire
You stayed up to prepare my meal?
[04:52] Kiyo
Today’s dish can’t be made ahead.
[04:56] Kiyo
It’s something I was craving.
[05:00] Sumire
A craving?
[05:10] Kiyo
Great!
[05:24] Sumire
I shouldn’t think of fried chicken
while Kiyo’s cooking just for me.
[05:33] Sumire
I’m here!

want some again.

Fried chicken.

The one and only.
[06:39] Sumire
Oh, fried chicken.
[06:42] Kiyo
So satisfying.
[06:44] Tsurukoma
Care to fill me in?
[06:47] Kiyo
Turns out Sumire wanted
fried chicken all day long.
[06:53] Kiyo
So, she was surprised.
[06:55] Tsurukoma
And thrilled to come home
and have fried chicken.
[06:59] Sumire
I bit into the crispy coating.
[07:01] Sumire
The flavor of the meat
spreads through my mouth.
[07:05] Sumire
How is freshly fried chicken so tasty?
[07:10] Tsurukoma
Fried chicken’s got you by the throat.
[07:14] Kiyo
It’s Sumire’s favorite.
[07:18] Tsurukoma
More than a favorite.
[07:21] Tsurukoma
I love fried chicken, too.
[07:23] Tsurukoma
Choosing the right sauce
is also important.
[07:28] Kiyo
Everyone has a strong preference.
[07:33] Kiyo
People fight over unsolicited lemon juice
on fried chicken.
[07:39] Tsurukoma
That is an absolute no-no.
[07:41] Kiyo
Today’s fried chicken
had a side of mayonnaise.
[07:46] Tsurukoma
A superb combination!
[07:50] Tsurukoma
Forbidden together,
yet irresistibly tempting.
[07:55] Sumire
The Sisters and I once
discussed fried chicken.
[07:59] Sumire
Everyone wanted different sauces.
[08:03] Tsurukoma
Mmhm.
[08:04] Kiyo
You can season fried chicken many ways.
[08:07] Sumire
Aside from mayonnaise, there’s…
[08:10] Sumire
salt, lemon, tartar sauce…
[08:13] Sumire
radish ponzu, ketchup, sansho pepper…
[08:15] Sumire
yuzu chili, soy sauce and vinegar.
[08:17] Tsurukoma
Some even like Japanese mustard.
[08:21] Kiyo
It does go well with other fried foods.
[08:25] Sumire
All the sauces sound tasty,
but I think plain is the best.
[08:31] Sumire
Ah, I’m getting hungry again.
[08:36] Kiyo/Sumire & Tsurukoma
I want fried chicken!

Chapter 11
A Senior Apprentice’s Evening
[08:47] Maiko D
Momohana, you’re debuting soon.
[08:50] Maiko D
Congratulations.
[08:53] Sumire
Thank you, Sisters.
[08:55] Maiko D
A senior apprentice with a half-dangling
sash can get away with things.
[09:00] Maiko D
Not so with a dangling sash.
[09:03] Maiko D
Strive to do your best.
[09:06] Sumire
Yes, Sister.
[09:07] ---
Half-dangling sash
(Senior Apprentice)
[09:08] Narr
A half-dangling sash is worn
by senior apprentices before debuting.
[09:13] ---
Dangling sash
(Maiko)
[09:14] Narr
It is half the length of a dangling sash
worn by maiko to make a clear distinction.
[09:21] Maiko E
Sister, it’s time.
[09:23] Maiko D
You’re right.
[09:25] Maiko E
Thanks, Kiyo.
[09:26] Maiko D
Thanks.
[09:28] Kiyo
Best of luck.
[09:29] Sumire
See you later, Sisters.
[09:43] Sumire
Kiyo, I’m done.
[09:45] Kiyo
Already?
[09:47] Sumire
I’m making the effort to be early.
[09:50] Kiyo
Good luck!

Welcome home!
[10:17] Mother

[10:20] Kiyo
Mother.
[10:21] Mother
Momohana should be done entertaining
but she hasn’t come back.
[10:27] Kiyo
Sumire?
[10:30] Narr
Maiko do not have mobile phones.
[10:34] Narr
So, they phone the Maiko House
[10:37] Narr
from the tea house
after their entertainment dinners.
[10:50] Narr
The Maiko House keeps track of each maiko’s
whereabouts from these calls.
[11:15] Mother
She was entertaining
at a tea house nearby.
[11:19] Mother
It’s just five minutes to come back.
[11:22] Kiyo
Where did she go?
[11:37] Kiyo
Half-dangling.
[11:41] Kiyo
Sumire!
[11:43] Tourist
Look!
[11:44] Tourist
Ah!
[11:45] Tourist
So pretty! Smile!
[11:51] Sumire
I didn’t call because I was just
stopping by the neighborhood shrine.
[11:57] Sumire
But it took longer.
[12:02] Kiyo
What did you wish for?
[12:05] Sumire
My wish?
[12:12] Sumire
To strive to be my best.
[12:21] Sumire
Please let me strive to be my best.
[12:33] Sumire
I wished so hard I’m a bit hungry.
[12:37] Sumire
Please let me strive to be my best.
[12:41] Sumire
To be a maiko worthy of
Kiyo’s dedication to us.

Dish of the Day
[13:19] Tsurukoma
Kiyo, what’s the white
sushi roll-looking thing in the fridge?
[13:25] Kiyo
That’s cookie dough, not a sushi roll!
[13:29] Tsurukoma
That long cylinder is for cookies?
[13:32] Kiyo
Chilling the cookie dough makes it firm.
[13:36] Kiyo
Slice it with a knife.
[13:41] Kiyo
And bake them in the oven
for easy butter cookies!
[13:46] Tsurukoma
I noticed the snack tin was
full of round butter cookies today!
[13:52] Tsurukoma
So, that’s how you made them.
[13:56] Kiyo
Usually, you cut cookies out one by one.
[14:00] Kiyo
But that’s a lot of work.
[14:03] Kiyo
This is an easier way
to bake many cookies.
[14:09] Tsurukoma
I’ve made cookies before.
[14:12] Tsurukoma
Roll out the dough,
use a cookie cutter, repeat.
[14:16] Tsurukoma
So tedious!
[14:18] Kiyo
Making special shapes
with cookie cutters is fun.
[14:23] Kiyo
But I chose ease over fun this time.
[14:27] Kiyo
You can freeze the dough.
[14:29] Kiyo
It’s quick and convenient.
[14:33] Tsurukoma
So impressive
that you bake as well as cook.
[14:37] Kiyo
Not at all.
[14:40] Tsurukoma
You’re too modest.
[14:42] Tsurukoma
Sometimes you leave treats
for us to snack on.
[14:46] Tsurukoma
They’re so popular they never last.
[14:47] ---

[14:49] ---
Snacking Treats

[14:50] Tsurukoma
Same for today’s cookies.
[14:53] Tsurukoma
I’m annoyed I didn’t have any!
[14:57] Tsurukoma
Everyone eats too much of your snacks!
[15:00] Kiyo
Shall I bake some for you now?
[15:03] Tsurukoma
Really!?
[15:05] Kiyo
Of course, I’ll just slice
the dough in the fridge.
[15:10] Tsurukoma
I didn’t mean to sound demanding.
[15:15] Kiyo
No worries.
[15:21] Kiyo
Here you go. Enjoy!
[15:24] Tsurukoma
Yes! Thank you.
[15:30] Tsurukoma
Fresh baked cookies are the best!
[15:34] Sumire
I’m back from entertaining.
[15:36] Sumire
Tsurukoma Sister,
are those Kiyo’s cookies?
[15:41] Tsurukoma
Forgive me!
[15:43] Tsurukoma
I couldn’t stop myself!
[15:47] Sumire
Kiyo’s sweets are hard to resist.
[15:51] Sumire
Let’s ask her for more.
[15:53] Kiyo
You got it!

Chapter
12 Debut Day
[16:11] Narr
It is the day of Momohana’s debut.
[16:15] Narr
This is a proud moment
for a senior apprentice
[16:18] Narr
who will now be known as a maiko.
[16:22] Narr
The birth of a new maiko
is joyful for all of Kagai,
[16:28] Narr
so there is a constant stream
of guests celebrating.
[16:33] Narr
Festive foods and boxed sushi
are ordered in,
[16:38] Narr
so the House kitchen
should be quiet. But…
[16:43] Maiko F
Kiyo! Kiyo!

Sumire!
[17:54] Kiyo
Did you enjoy the feast?
[17:57] Sumire
I was too busy to eat.
I’m starving.
[18:01] Sumire
I got up to use the bathroom,
so I need to go back.
[18:06] Kiyo
I just wanted to see a familiar face.
[18:16] Kiyo
Sumire!
[18:18] Sumire
My makeup!
[18:23] Sumire
Careful, Kiyo!
[18:25] Sumire
What are you making?
[18:27] Kiyo
Seeing everyone made me want some.
[18:31] Kiyo
Here, nabekko dumplings.
[18:35] ---
Nabekko Dumplings
(A sweet dish from Aomori.
Azuki bean soup served at happy events.)
[18:42] Sumire
Reminds me of gatherings back home!
[18:47] Kiyo
Like when Kenta’s family
finished planting rice.
[18:51] Sumire
I helped just for this.
[18:53] Kiyo
Or when our neighbor came home
from college for the summer.
[18:59] Sumire
That was the Osanais’ daughter!
[19:05] Kiyo
So many people we didn’t know.
[19:08] Sumire
There wasn’t even room to sit!
[19:12] Kiyo
We stood and ate
with Grandma and the moms.
[19:16] Sumire
In the kitchen!
[19:51] Sumire
I’m going.

Dish of the Day
[20:22] Kiyo
Nabekko dumplings are
regional sweets from Aomori.
[20:27] Tsurukoma
I’ve never seen it before.
Is it well known in Aomori?
[20:31] Sumire
It’s a traditional dish
common in the Nanbu Region.
[20:36] Sumire
I remember having it
when people gathered to celebrate.
[20:42] Kiyo
We had it with everyone
after planting rice.
[20:47] Sumire
That’s right.
[20:48] Sumire
Kiyo, Kenta and I ate it together
at Kenta’s.
[20:54] Tsurukoma
So, they’re sweets
that are served at gatherings.
[20:57] Tsurukoma
It looks just like oshiruko,
sweet azuki bean soup with dumplings.
[21:04] Tsurukoma
Or is it closer to zenzai?
[21:07] Kiyo
What’s the difference again?
[21:11] Tsurukoma
Actually, they look quite similar.
[21:14] Kiyo
What does your book say, Sumire?
[21:17] Sumire
Hang on.
[21:20] Sumire
“In Kanto, oshiruko contains
whole beans or paste.”
[21:26] Sumire
“Zenzai is less soupy.”
[21:28] Sumire
“In Kansai, oshiruko is
soupy azuki paste.”
[21:32] Sumire
“Zenzai is soup with whole beans.”
[21:35] Sumire
“The version with no soup
is called kameyama or kintoki.”
[21:39] Sumire
“But in Okinawa, zenzai refers to shaved ice
with kintoki beans and rice flour balls.”
[21:47] Sumire
Got it?
[21:48] Tsurukoma
Sorry, once more?
[22:02] Sumire
“Zenzai’s origin is unclear. ”
[22:05] Sumire
“One theory is that
Izumo Shrine’s jinzai mochi…”
[22:09] Tsurukoma
Wait! Information overload!
[22:11] Tsurukoma
Give me a simpler explanation!
[22:14] Sumire
Let me use a chart then.
[22:18] Tsurukoma
Um.
[22:20] Tsurukoma
Oh, I’m so lost!
[22:22] Tsurukoma
My head is going to explode
with azuki bean paste.
[22:26] Sumire
It’s complicated when the same dish
has different regional names.
[22:31] Kiyo
I thought this might be tricky.
[22:35] Kiyo
So, I made them all!
[22:39] Tsurukoma
Great idea to eat and understand!
[22:45] Tsurukoma
Warm, sweet, cold, sweet.
Warm, sweet, cold and sweet again!
[22:50] Tsurukoma
It’s the devil’s combination.
[22:54] Sumire
Your appetite is inspiring.
[22:57] Kiyo
So, could you tell the difference
between oshiruko and zenzai?
[23:03] Tsurukoma
Absolutely, I’ve confirmed
they’re both delicious!
[23:08] Kiyo & Sumire
Agreed!

[03:13] Maiko G
Peel down?

[06:09] ---
Dish of the Day
[06:11] Kiyo
Easy to make and perfect for
bento boxes or a midnight snack.
[06:17] Sumire
Today's dish is onigiri rice balls.
[06:21] Sumire
Rice balls can be round,
triangular or bale-shaped.
[06:26] Sumire
Do you know why?
[06:30] Kiyo
There's a reason?
[06:33] Sumire
I'll read one of the various theories.
[06:37] Sumire
"A mountain was likened to a deity."
[06:41] Sumire
"A triangular onigiri had
the deity's power."
[06:45] Tsurukoma
And onigiri in store-bought bento
is usually bale-shaped.
[06:51] Sumire
"Bento were eaten
while watching shows in the Edo era."
[06:55] Sumire
"Rice bales fit well and
were easy to eat with chopsticks."
[07:01] Sumire
That's what it says.
[07:04] Kiyo
Many regions in Japan
have their own specialty onigiri.
[07:09] Sumire
"Mie Prefecture's tenmusu
is a well-known one."
[07:17] Tsurukoma
Shrimp tempura rice ball!
[07:20] Tsurukoma
Perfectly combining rice
with flavorful, juicy fried shrimp.
[07:25] Sumire
"Toyama Prefecture's specialty onigiri
has a unique coating."
[07:29] Sumire
"Shredded kelp
instead of dried seaweed."
[07:32] Sumire
"Even convenience stores
sell them there."
[07:36] Tsurukoma
It looks intense.
[07:39] Tsurukoma
But the soft kelp probably
melts deliciously into the rice.
[07:45] Sumire
"Yamaguchi Prefecture's onigiri is coated
with sweet, roasted soybean powder."
[07:52] Kiyo
Like ohagi sticky rice cakes.
[07:55] Sumire
It says there was
a similar kind in Kyoto.
[07:59] Sumire
"Bale-shaped azuki bean onigiri
coated with roasted soybean powder."
[08:05] Tsurukoma
I'd love to taste one!
[08:09] Sumire
"Onigiri come in various styles.
Topped with miso paste…"
[08:13] Sumire
"wrapped in mustard leaf…"
[08:16] Sumire
"even as an egg and ham sandwich."
[08:21] Sumire
"There are specialty onigiri
from all over Japan."
[08:26] Kiyo
You can tell that people
everywhere in Japan love onigiri.
[08:32] Tsurukoma
Oh my, I'm craving one now!
[08:35] Tsurukoma
Kiyo, make me an onigiri?
[08:38] Kiyo
You got it!

You should go out, too.
[09:08] Kiyo
Curry.
[09:12] Kiyo
I'm having curry!
[09:15] Kiyo
Thank you.
[09:22] Maiko N
Kiyo, why so happy?
[09:25] Kiyo
Huh?
[09:26] Kiyo
Curry!
[09:31] Kiyo

[09:34] Tsurukoma
Kiyo’s still awake?
[09:36] Kiyo
Curry!
[09:38] Kiyo
Mother, may I use the phone?
[09:41] Mother
Sure.
[09:42] Kiyo
Yes, yes, that's right.
[09:44] Kiyo
I want it so badly!
[09:46] Kiyo
Really!? Thanks!
[09:49] Mother
Kiyo seems out of it

[10:52] Kiyo
Thank you!
[10:55] Cooking Auntie
Help yourself to the kitchen.
[10:58] Kiyo
Thank you, Auntie.
[11:03] Cooking Auntie
Why spend your day off cooking?
[11:08] Cooking Auntie
I was surprised when you called.
[11:13] Kiyo
Hello, Auntie!
[11:15] Cooking Auntie
What is it, Kiyo?
[11:17] Kiyo
May I make curry at your house?
[11:20] Cooking Auntie
Huh?
[11:22] Kiyo
I'm sorry, I had
such a strong craving for curry.
[11:27] Kiyo
Especially homemade.
[11:29] Cooking Auntie
And it's forbidden at Maiko House.
[11:32] Kiyo
That's what Mother told me.
[11:36] Narr
Reminders of home are avoided in Kagai.
[11:41] Narr
The customers are mostly men,
[11:44] Narr
and it is important that they
do not miss their families while there.
[11:50] Narr
Evoking a sense of home with the aroma
of homemade curry is impermissible.
[12:03] Kiyo
Do men really want to go home
when they smell curry?
[12:09] Kiyo
Your husband, too?
[12:11] Cooking Auntie
I’m not sure, but he likes curry.
[12:15] Kiyo
So, it's true.
[12:17] Kiyo
Curry's just so delicious.
[12:20] Cooking Auntie
Yes, but that's not why it's forbidden.
[12:24] ---
Curried Rice
(Simply potatoes, carrots, onions and meat.
Pickled radish on the side.)
[12:26] Kiyo
Looks tasty!
[12:31] Cooking Auntie
Shall I make some coffee?
[12:34] Kiyo
Oh, I'll make some later.
[12:44] Cooking Auntie
Let's eat, then.
[12:46] Kiyo
Let's eat!
[12:56] Kiyo & Cooking Auntie
So good!
[12:59] Kiyo
The pickled radish is
from Grandma in Aomori.
[13:02] Cooking Auntie
Delicious!
[13:04] Kiyo
I'm so glad.
[13:09] Kiyo
Mother.
[13:10] Mother
Hi, Kiyo.
[13:12] Kiyo
Thank you for my day off today.
[13:15] Mother

You're in a great mood today, Kiyo.
[13:54] Sumire
Something good happen?
[13:56] Kiyo
Homemade curry was delicious!
[13:59] Tsurukoma
You had curry!?
[14:02] Kiyo
I did!
[14:04] Kiyo
Homemade curry with
chunks of meat and vegetables!
[14:10] Tsurukoma
Homemade curry with meat
and vegetable chunks is the best!
[14:15] Tsurukoma
I want some, too!
[14:17] Sumire
Please calm down, Tsurukoma Sister.
[14:22] Tsurukoma
Sorry.
[14:23] Tsurukoma
It's been so long, I lost my cool.
[14:27] Tsurukoma
Curry is forbidden in Maiko House.
[14:30] Tsurukoma
Knowing I can't have it
makes me want it more.
[14:35] Sumire
Why don't you order it on weekends?
[14:38] Tsurukoma
No, no!
[14:40] Tsurukoma
Fancy restaurant curry is alright,
but I want homemade.
[14:45] Tsurukoma
The kind you make at home
and let rest overnight.
[14:49] Kiyo
It's so tasty the next day.
[14:53] Tsurukoma
And wonderfully delicious in a way
that's different from restaurant curry.
[14:58] Tsurukoma
I wonder why.
[15:00] Sumire
Let’s have a look.
[15:03] Sumire
"Letting the curry rest..."
[15:05] Sumire
"makes it richer over time."
[15:08] Sumire
"The sauce flavor settles
into the ingredients."
[15:12] Sumire
There are a lot of reasons.
[15:14] Tsurukoma
I knew overnight curry tasted delicious!
[15:18] Sumire
"But leaving it at room temperature
can also cause food poisoning."
[15:27] Tsurukoma
No!
[15:28] Kiyo
But you usually make a large pot.
[15:32] Kiyo
How should we deal with leftovers?
[15:37] Sumire
"Divide and refrigerate
in small containers."
[15:41] Sumire
"Do not leave the curry in the pot
at room temperature."
[15:46] Tsurukoma
I'll be careful from now on.
[15:49] Tsurukoma
Curry is out of reach for maiko, anyway.
[15:53] Kiyo & Sumire
We know.

[16:55] Sumire

[17:02] Kiyo

[17:05] Kenta
Why can't the snowplow come here?
[17:09] Sumire
I'll do it all!
[17:12] Kenta
Hey, you left some fresh snow here!
[17:17] Kenta
Speed isn't everything.
[17:19] Sumire
You're just annoyed
to be slower than me.
[17:24] Kenta
Nope.
[17:25] Kenta
I'd rather do a solid job.
[17:29] Kenta
Cut out a block of snow.
[17:31] Kenta
And scoop up the whole thing!
[17:35] Sumire
You've made a very clean path.
[17:39] Kenta
But it's too much work to last.
[17:43] Sumire
Kiyo?
[18:10] Sumire
I've shoveled more snow than you!
[18:14] Kenta
I did a neater job!
[18:16] Sumire
No way!
[18:44] Kiyo
I turned up the stove.
[18:46] Sumire

Hittsumi soup

We ate it together after shoveling snow.
[20:26] Kiyo
Let's review how to make hittsumi.
[20:30] Sumire
I learned watching Kiyo's grandma, too.
[20:35] Sumire
Add root vegetables to dashi broth.
[20:38] Sumire
Stew with sake, rice wine and soy sauce.
[20:46] Sumire
When the soup is ready, add the dough.
[20:50] Kiyo
Use your hands
to pull and stretch the flour dough.
[20:54] Kiyo
Tear off bite-size pieces and drop in.
[20:57] Sumire
The thickness will be uneven.
[21:01] Kiyo
Enjoying the thick and thin textures
is part of the fun.
[21:07] Sumire
Serve when the dough is cooked through.
[21:10] Tsurukoma
Hot soup warms
the body and spirit on cold days.
[21:16] Sumire
Many regions have a specialty soup.
[21:20] Sumire
They're especially tasty on cold days.
[21:24] Sumire
"First, eastern Hokkaido's teppo soup."
[21:28] Sumire
"Teppo means rifle, and
the soup is miso-flavored with crab."
[21:34] Sumire
"Crab meat is picked with chopsticks."
[21:38] Sumire
"It looks like loading bullets
into a rifle barrel."
[21:43] Sumire
"Miso soup with blowfish
is also called teppo soup."
[21:47] Sumire
"This is because blowfish poison
can be lethal."
[21:49] ---
Poison
[21:53] Tsurukoma
So viscious!
[21:56] Sumire
"Next, Aomori's senbei soup."
[21:58] Sumire
"A unique soup with nanbu crackers in it."
[22:02] Sumire
"The broth-soaked crackers are flavorful
with a special texture."
[22:07] Tsurukoma
Crackers soaked with flavor sound tasty!
[22:11] Sumire
"Next, Yamagata's natto soup."
[22:14] Sumire
"This miso soup contains
ground fermented soybeans."
[22:17] Tsurukoma
It must be bursting with natto scent.
[22:21] Tsurukoma
Irresistible for natto lovers!
[22:24] Sumire
"Kyoto has its very own, itoko soup."
[22:29] Sumire
"It's eaten at special events
in certain areas of Kyoto."
[22:33] Sumire
"It contains azuki beans, potatoes,
root vegetables and konjac jelly."
[22:38] Tsurukoma
It's a pleasantly sweet miso soup.
[22:42] Sumire
"Other soups include
ichigoni and mamebu."
[22:46] Sumire
"Dongara and noppei
from the north."
[22:49] Sumire
"Metta and dobu…"
[22:52] Sumire
"Tsugani, dago, and satsuma
from the south…"
[22:56] Sumire
I can't read them all!
[22:58] Kiyo
People all over Japan
are having soup every day.
[23:03] Tsurukoma
We all share the heartwarming feeling
after having hot soup.

They can’t call or email.
[01:50] Maiko A
Boyfriend!?
[01:52] Maiko B
I thought they broke up.
[01:54] Maiko C
They got back together
on this call.
[01:58] Narr
Maiko can use the House phone,
but it can be awkward.

Chapter 16 Waiting for a Letter
[02:10] Kiyo
Everyone's letters.
[02:13] Kiyo
And mine.
[02:16] Kiyo
Great!
[02:42] Kenta
Grandma, hello!
[02:53] ---
Kiyo
[03:00] Grandma
Oh, Kenta!
[03:03] Grandma
No baseball today?
[03:05] Kenta
Test break.
[03:07] Kenta
Here, a letter.
[03:09] Grandma
Mm, come in.
[03:11] Kenta
I'll shovel the snow first.
[03:19] Grandma
My, my.
[03:42] Kenta
Ow.
[03:44] Teacher
Kenta?
[03:46] Kenta
It's nothing.
[03:47] Teacher
Focus.
[03:49] Kenta
Yes.
[03:55] ---
Kiyo
Sumire
[04:02] Sumire
Thanks.
[04:47] Kenta
Ow.
[04:48] Teacher
Again, Kenta?
[04:50] Kenta
It's nothing.
[04:54] Kenta
Odd handwriting.
[05:00] Kenta
Grandma, I'm done.
[05:02] Grandma
Thanks. Was it cold?
[05:05] Kenta
Hm? I don’t know.
[05:11] Grandma
Stay by the stove.
[05:14] Kenta
Mm. Oh!
[05:16] Kenta
Yes! Grilled rice balls!
[05:17] ---
Yaki Onigiri
(Grilled rice balls for snacking.
Toasty aroma of sweet miso.)
[05:23] Grandma
Flip them with chopsticks
if they're too hot.
[05:28] Kenta
It's okay.
[05:32] Grandma
Kiyo says she's coming home
to Aomori for New Year's.
[05:42] Kenta
Hm.
[05:59] Kenta
Odd handwriting.

Dish of the Day
[06:20] Kiyo
Toasty outside, fluffy inside.
[06:23] Kiyo
Grilled rice balls.
[06:25] Tsurukoma
My midnight snack back home.
[06:29] Tsurukoma
I think of rice balls as a main,
but grilled ones as a snack.
[06:34] Sumire
Me, too!
[06:36] Sumire
I snacked on the ones
Kiyo's grandma made all the time.
[06:41] Kiyo
We grilled them
on top of the stove in winter.
[06:45] Sumire
The aroma of toasted miso
would start wafting.
[06:49] Sumire
I remember it so well!
[06:52] Tsurukoma
We brushed on soy sauce back home.
[06:56] Tsurukoma
Miso or soy sauce
is a regional difference.
[07:01] Tsurukoma
I've never had a miso grilled rice ball,
but it must be delicious.
[07:06] Tsurukoma
Rice and miso are
a righteous combination.
[07:11] Kiyo
Crushing the grilled rice ball in tea
also tastes good.
[07:15] Sumire
Or dashi broth.
[07:19] Sumire
The ingredients are kitchen staples.
[07:22] Sumire
They're quick to make in a frying pan
or toaster, the perfect snack.
[07:29] Kiyo
But they fall apart easily
while grilling.
[07:34] Kiyo
So sad.
[07:35] Sumire
There are some tips to prevent that.
[07:39] Sumire
It says, "Use hot, freshly-cooked rice."
[07:44] Sumire
"Hot rice sticks together better than cold
and holds its shape."
[07:50] Kiyo
Hm hm.
[07:52] Sumire
"First, grill until brown without sauce."
[07:56] Sumire
"The grilled side will harden
and be less likely to fall apart."
[08:02] Tsurukoma
Then you brush the sauce
onto the hardened sides.
[08:06] Sumire
"Brushing with sauce
will make it softer."
[08:10] Sumire
"So, grill well until the sauce dries."
[08:14] Kiyo
Thanks for the tips!
[08:16] Kiyo
I feel like I can make them now!
[08:20] Tsurukoma
I learned a lot, too.
[08:23] Tsurukoma
But even without the tips, I never fail.
[08:28] Sumire
Wow! How do you do that?
[08:32] Tsurukoma
I shall share my secret just with you.
[08:36] Tsurukoma
Frozen ones!
[08:38] Kiyo & Sumire
No wonder.

Chapter 17 Christmas in Kagai
[08:58] Tsurukoma
Christmas is here.
[09:01] Maiko D
It's Christmas.
[09:03] Narr
There are no special
Christmas events in Kagai.
[09:08] Narr
No Christmas light decorations.
[09:11] Narr
And no Christmas trees.
[09:15] Narr
But there are hints of Christmas.
[09:19] Customer
Good evening.
[09:21] Tea House Mistress
Welcome back.
[09:24] Customer
It's been a while.
[09:27] Narr
The tea house mistress’s sash cord.
[09:32] Tea House Mistress
This way, please.
[09:35] Narr
The flower arrangement.
[09:39] Customer
For everyone.
[09:42] Narr
Or a customer’s cake gift.
[09:47] Tsurukoma
Cake...
[09:49] Maiko E
More cake...
[09:52] Sumire
Huh?
[09:53] Sumire
What about gift cakes!?
[09:57] Tsurukoma
You know, cakes for Christmas
that the customers bring.
[10:02] Maiko D
I've had at least five.
[10:04] Tsurukoma
I've only had four!
[10:07] Maiko E
Me, too.
[10:09] Tsurukoma
It's too much, but we can’t refuse.
[10:12] Maiko D
Right, be grateful for their generosity.
[10:16] Maikos
So tough!
[10:19] Sumire
Hold on, please.
[10:21] Sumire
I haven't had any yet.
[10:26] Sumire
Cake...
[10:27] Maiko D
I need a break from
whipped cream and strawberries.
[10:32] Tsurukoma
Me, too.
[10:33] Tsurukoma
I've had enough Christmas cake!
[10:43] Kiyo
I was preparing to make cake,
and Mother said...
[10:48] Mother
There's no need
for whipped cream or strawberries.
[10:52] Kiyo
No wonder!
[10:54] Sumire
Even Mother?
[10:57] Sumire
Whipped cream, strawberries...
[11:00] Sumire
Where is my Christmas?
[11:09] Kiyo
So dramatic, Sumire!
[11:12] Sumire
But, it's Christmas...
[11:18] Kiyo
I don't have all the ingredients
to bake cake.
[11:25] Kiyo
But I have some.
[11:33] Kiyo
Fruits for snacking.
[11:36] Kiyo
Canned fruit to ease a cold.
[11:39] Kiyo
We'll use them all!
[11:46] Kiyo
First, cut the fruit into small pieces.
[11:53] Kiyo
Think about how to arrange the fruits.
[11:56] Sumire
Arrange?
[12:01] Kiyo
Next, whip the cream well.
[12:09] Kiyo
The key is to whip it
until the peaks stand up.
[12:15] Kiyo
Take a piece of bread.
[12:19] Kiyo
Arrange the cut fruit like this.
[12:23] Kiyo
Cover it...
[12:30] Kiyo
Top with another piece of bread.
[12:34] Kiyo
Slice carefully.
[12:38] Kiyo
Done! Ready?
[12:42] Kiyo
Look!

Let's eat!
[13:08] Kiyo & Sumire
Merry Christmas!
[13:10] Sumire
Delicious!
[13:12] Kiyo
Just like cake.

Dish of the Day
[13:35] Kiyo
Sumire wanted cake for Christmas,
so I made fruit sandwiches.
[13:42] Sumire
Thanks for giving me
a lovely Christmas feeling, Kiyo.
[13:45] Kiyo
Not at all.
[13:48] Tsurukoma
The sliced edges of your sandwiches
are beautiful!
[13:54] Tsurukoma
Just like in the shops.
[13:56] Kiyo
Not at all!
[13:59] Sumire
Pretty edges make them
seem even tastier.
[14:04] Tsurukoma
The ones sold in specialty shops
look too attractive to eat.
[14:09] Tsurukoma
I'd like to know the secret
to making such pretty edges.
[14:14] Kiyo
Me, too!
[14:15] Sumire
I'll look it up in here.
[14:21] Sumire
"First, imagine the vertical
or diagonal knife line."
[14:26] Sumire
"Then, place the fruits along it."
[14:33] Sumire
"Randomly arranged fruits
will be buried and hidden."
[14:37] Sumire
"And only cream will show."
[14:40] Tsurukoma
No, no, I want it packed with fruits!
[14:44] Sumire
"Another tip is to use larger fruits
for better appearance."
[14:50] Tsurukoma
It's true that larger fruits
are more impressive.
[14:55] Tsurukoma
And more satisfying to eat.
[14:58] Kiyo
I also like lots of fruit.
[15:00] Sumire
"Sandwich the whipped cream and fruit,
and wrap in plastic."
[15:06] Sumire
"Chill in the refrigerator."
[15:08] Sumire
"Drawing a marker line will help to
remember which direction to cut later."
[15:16] Tsurukoma
Slicing in the wrong direction…
[15:19] Tsurukoma
would be a tragic mistake!
[15:24] Sumire
"Slice the chilled,
wrapped sandwich.”
[15:28] Sumire
"Wipe any extra cream
off the knife after every slice."
[15:34] Sumire
"Leftover cream will make
the next sliced edge messy."
[15:40] Kiyo
So helpful!
[15:42] Kiyo
I want to make more
fruit sandwiches.
[15:46] Kiyo
I need more bread!
[15:47] Tsurukoma
You can count on me to try
your delicious fruit sandwiches!
[15:53] Kiyo & Sumire
You got it!

[16:12] Kiyo
Mm, yeah.
[16:15] Kiyo
I'll be home New Year's Day.
[16:18] Mother
Kiyo?
[16:20] Mother
Kiyo, I'm leaving.
[16:22] Kiyo
Yes, Mother.
[16:23] Mother
I'll return after...
[16:27] Mother
Hello?
[16:28] Mother
Thank you. I'll come by.
[16:34] Mother
After four.
[16:35] Mother
Lock up after Momohana returns.
[16:39] Kiyo
Yes.
[16:40] Mother
Oh.
[16:42] Mother
These are New Year's gifts from me.
[16:47] Mother
For you and Sumire,
here on New Year's Eve.
[16:53] Mother
Oh, it will crack if you shake it so!
[16:58] Narr
In Kagai, there is a year-end custom
to give out good luck fukudama.
[17:05] Narr
The pink and white balls
made of thin rice cake
[17:09] Narr
contain different items.
[17:11] Mother
Only open it after the New Year's bells.
[17:17] Mother
Yes, yes, I'll be right over.
[17:30] Kiyo
Sumire, hurry.
[17:36] Kiyo
Just a peek.
[17:43] Kiyo
New Year's bells!
[17:45] Kiyo
One...
[17:50] Kiyo
Two...
[17:52] Sumire
I'm home.
[17:54] Kiyo
Ah, hi Sumire!
[17:56] Kiyo
Hurry, hurry!
[17:58] Kiyo
Three...
[18:00] Kiyo
Mother gave us each a fukudama ball.
[18:05] Kiyo
Let's open them together
after the bells!
[18:09] Sumire
Sure, okay.
[18:11] Sumire
How many times have the bells rung?
[18:14] Kiyo
Eh? Three?
[18:17] Kiyo
I'm not sure!
[18:19] Sumire
Hurry, help me get ready for the bath!
[18:23] Kiyo
Okay!
[18:26] Kiyo
I can cut this?
[18:29] Sumire
Yeah, for washing.
[18:31] Sumire
But not my hair.
[18:33] Kiyo
Sumire, this isn’t shampoo.
[18:37] Sumire
Cleanser removes the hair oil.
[18:40] Kiyo
My feet got wet.
[18:42] Sumire
Come bathe again.
[18:55] Kiyo
Sounds livelier than usual outside.
[18:59] Sumire
It's New Year's Eve.
[19:07] Sumire
No more bells!
[19:08] Kiyo
Fukudama!
[19:12] Sumire
Let's open them in my room.
[19:16] Sumire
Sleep in my room tonight.
[19:19] Sumire
Everyone's gone home, anyway.
[19:22] Kiyo
Yeah.
[19:24] Kiyo
What's inside?
[19:26] Sumire
They say a lucky charm
for the new year.
[19:29] Sumire
A trinket of a dresser for new clothes?
[19:33] Kiyo
Or a bread maker trinket?
[19:36] Sumire
That's your wish!
[19:50] Kiyo
I'm sleepy.
[19:51] Sumire
Ssh, Mother's still asleep.
[19:55] Mother
Good morning.
[19:57] Sumire
Mother!
[19:59] Mother
Oh, I wanted to do something motherly
for New Year's Day.
[20:05] Mother
Breakfast for my girls' departure day.

Ozoni
(White miso soup

[20:18] Kiyo
White miso!
[20:20] Sumire
Big taro!
[20:22] Mother
It's your typical ozoni soup.
[20:26] Mother
Did you open your fukudama?
[20:29] Sumire
Well...
[20:32] Sumire
Mine was a shamisen trinket.
[20:36] Mother
Then your skills in the arts
will improve.
[20:40] Sumire
Kiyo's...
[20:42] Kiyo
Mine were assorted sweets.
[20:45] Kiyo
What could it mean?
[20:48] Mother
It's simple.
[20:50] Mother
Nothing suggestive of the new year,
the same as always.

Dish of the Day
[21:17] Tsurukoma
No, this season again.
[21:20] Sumire
Why the long face,
Tsurukoma Sister?
[21:24] Tsurukoma
Momohana, it's New Year's.
[21:28] Sumire
Yes, but what about it?
[21:32] Tsurukoma
Too much mochi makes me
put on New Year's weight!
[21:37] Sumire
Ah, I love ozoni
on New Year's, too!
[21:41] Tsurukoma
Ozoni at home is so delicious.
[21:44] Tsurukoma
Before you know it,
I'm gobbling the heartwarming soup.
[21:48] Tsurukoma
And the mochi has ballooned
into New Year's weight.
[21:53] Kiyo
So, let's talk about ozoni today.
[21:56] Sumire
Ozoni has regional characteristics.
[22:00] Sumire
Square or round mochi rice cakes.
[22:03] Sumire
Mother's Kyoto-style ozoni
had round mochi.
[22:08] Kiyo
There was also a very large taro.
[22:12] Kiyo
What kind was it?
[22:14] Sumire
It says, "In Kyoto, ozoni contains taro."
[22:18] Sumire
"Specifically, the parent taro."
[22:22] Kiyo
Eating such a large taro isn't easy.
[22:27] Sumire
"The mochi and taro
in Kyoto-style ozoni are both round."
[22:32] Sumire
"The shape symbolizes hope
for a peaceful year."
[22:37] Sumire
Even the ingredients have meaning
in traditional Kyoto.
[22:42] Kiyo
A different ozoni.
[22:44] Kiyo
I’m so grateful Mother made it for us
in the Kyoto style.
[22:49] Sumire
Yeah, now I feel like I can continue
working hard this year.
[22:55] Tsurukoma
I'm so motivated
to start on New Year's!
[22:59] Sumire
Doing what?
[23:01] Tsurukoma
My goal is to eat five or more mochi
this New Year's!
[23:06] Tsurukoma
Bring on the New Year's weight!

New Year's food!
[02:12] Grandma
I wanted to celebrate
when you came home.
[02:16] Kiyo
I can reach, Grandma.
[02:20] Kiyo
Can I put the black soy beans in here?
[02:23] Grandma
The sweet egg omelet would be better.
[02:27] Kiyo
Okay.
[02:28] Kiyo
Can I offer it on Mom's altar?
[02:32] Kiyo
She loved them.

I already did.

Kinton, too?

Hey, no picking!

Sumire and Kenta will be here soon.

Why don't you go greet Sumire?
[02:55] Kiyo
Okay.
[03:03] Kenta
Hey!
[03:05] Kiyo
Hey!
[03:08] Kenta
I didn't want to come empty-handed.
[03:10] Kiyo
Oh, the famous roast chicken!
[03:14] Kiyo
Looks delicious!
[03:16] Kenta
I thought you might want some,
since you spent Christmas away.
[03:21] Kiyo
I do, thanks!
[03:26] Sumire
I brought something, too.
[03:30] Kiyo
Sumire!
[03:31] Sumire
Happy new year!

Happy new year!
[03:35] Sumire
Here.
[03:37] Kiyo
Yes, our favorite cake!
[03:40] Sumire
Kenta, you're the same.
[03:43] Kenta
How?
[03:45] Sumire
Your height.
[03:46] Kenta
So what...
[03:48] Kiyo
It feels like my body's still swaying
from the long train ride yesterday.
[03:53] Sumire
Are you okay?
[03:58] Kiyo
Grandma, chicken and cake!
[04:01] Sumire
Happy new year.
[04:04] Grandma
It's so good to see you both.
[04:08] Grandma
Ozoni soup is almost ready.
[04:10] Kiyo
I'll fill the oju.
[04:13] Grandma
Oh, that's done.
[04:15] Grandma
Can you grind the walnuts?
[04:18] Kiyo/ Sumire & Kenta
Yes!
[04:36] Sumire
Hm? Was I doing this last year, too?
[04:40] Kenta
Yeah, our last winter of middle school.
[04:44] Sumire
Middle school?
[04:46] Sumire
We left for Kyoto
less than a year ago!?
[04:50] Kenta
Don't tell me you thought it was longer!
[04:54] Grandma
You must be busy in Kyoto, Sumire.
[04:58] Kiyo
Yeah! Sumire's a star over there, too!
[05:02] Kiyo
Sensei praises her dancing,
and she debuted first in Kagai!
[05:08] Kiyo
She's really impressive!
[05:11] Grandma
Oh, that's amazing.
[05:14] Kiyo
Isn't it?
[05:16] Kenta
Yeah.
[05:17] Kiyo
Sumire's really amazing!

We get it, amazing.

Yeah.

Dish of the Day
[06:13] Sumire
Today’s dish is Kiyo's family's ozoni.
[06:17] Sumire
A simple soup with chicken,
vegetables and mochi sticky rice...
[06:22] Sumire
in clear broth with soy sauce.
[06:25] Kenta
But then you add the walnut sauce.
[06:28] Kiyo
It's sweet, savory and perfect
with softened mochi.
[06:33] Sumire
It seems they don’t put walnut sauce
on ozoni in Kyoto.
[06:38] Sumire
So surprising.
[06:40] Kiyo
Not even on mochi cakes.
[06:42] Kenta
Really?
[06:44] Kenta
I assumed they ate it there, too.
[06:48] Kiyo
It's sold at supermarkets in Aomori

[06:54] Sumire
When we're together grinding walnuts
during mochi season...
[06:58] Sumire
it really feels like New Year's to me.
[07:03] Kiyo
To make walnut sauce.
[07:05] Kiyo
Place walnuts in a mortar
and grind until oil forms.
[07:10] Kiyo
When the walnuts get sticky,
add sugar.
[07:14] Kiyo
Continue mixing
while slowly adding warm water.
[07:18] Kenta
Use water to adjust the consistency.
[07:21] Kiyo
Add sugar and soy sauce
to flavor as needed.
[07:26] Sumire
A stronger flavor tastes better
with mochi.
[07:32] Kiyo
Serve when done!
[07:34] Kiyo
Enjoy creamy walnut sauce
on mochi and ozoni soup.
[07:39] Sumire
The sweet and savory flavor
goes so well with grilled mochi.
[07:44] Kenta
I could eat mochi endlessly
with walnut sauce.
[07:50] Sumire
"There is a phrase from Iwate..."
[07:53] Sumire
"that describes tasty foods
as having a walnut flavor."
[07:57] Sumire
"Because walnuts are believed to be
so tasty."
[08:01] Kenta
I agree, they're so good.
[08:05] Kenta
We use ground walnuts
on many foods at home, too.
[08:09] Kiyo
You can toss with spinach, greens
or string beans for a dish.
[08:14] Sumire
Nagano is known for walnuts.
[08:17] Sumire
It says, “It's even a dipping sauce
for soba noodles there.”
[08:22] Sumire
Walnuts match well with many foods.
[08:25] Kenta
I like it best with mochi.
[08:29] Kiyo/ Sumire & Kenta
Ah, thinking of walnut sauce
made me hungry.
[08:34] Grandma
Can you bring over the ground walnuts
for ozoni?
[08:38] Kiyo/ Sumire & Kenta
Yes!

Kiyo, your dad couldn't come home
because of work?
[08:58] Kiyo
Yeah, where are your parents?
[09:01] Sumire
They took the car and went shopping.
[09:04] Sumire
And Kenta?
[09:05] Kenta
My relatives came over.
[09:08] Kenta
It's probably a drinking party by now.
[09:11] Sumire
Kenta, what's that!?
[09:16] Kenta
This.
SIGN Popular Snack Kids Buy (Aomori people’s soul food. Sandwich with plenty of margarine and sugar.)
[09:27] Kenta
I bought it earlier.
[09:30] Sumire
Why didn't you share it at Kiyo's?
[09:34] Kenta
Because it's mine.
[09:35] Sumire
Give me some!
[09:37] Kenta
You just had a feast and cake!
[09:39] Sumire
This is different!
[09:58] Kiyo
Huge trees!
[10:00] Kenta
You say so every year.
[10:04] Sumire
We tell you not to fall every year!
[10:08] Kenta
Be careful!
[10:37] Sumire
Please let me do my best as a maiko.
[10:41] Kiyo
Please let everyone stay healthy.
[10:45] Kenta
Please let me make the starting lineup.
[10:52] Shrine Worshipper
Those three are so earnest.
[10:54] Shrine Worshipper B
Let's go drink amazake.
[10:56] Shrine Worshipper C
That's what I'm here for.
[11:04] Kiyo
A fortune slip, please.
[11:06] Shrine Attendant
Go ahead.
[11:15] Kiyo
Look, I bought one, too!
[11:19] Kenta
You took so long.
[11:21] Sumire
I'm cold.
[11:25] Sumire
Let's open them together.
[11:29] Kenta
Got it.
[11:29] Kiyo
Mm.
[11:32] Kiyo/ Sumire & Kenta
Ready?
[11:39] Kenta
Aah! I got Great Luck!
[11:43] Sumire
Me, too! Great Luck!
[11:45] Kenta
It's my first ever!

Me, too!
We're supposed to keep them!
[11:52] Kenta

[11:54] Sumire
Yeah.
[12:01] Kiyo
Mine says Bad Luck.
[12:04] Sumire
Leave it here for blessings.
[12:08] Kiyo
Mm.
[12:09] Kenta
I think tying it up high is better.
[12:18] Sumire
Let's go home, okay?
[12:22] Kiyo
Mm.
[12:31] Sumire
Sorry, I forgot something!
[12:35] Kenta
I need the bathroom!
[12:49] Sumire
What are you doing?
[12:51] Kenta
And yourself?
[13:01] Kenta
Please counteract her fortune
with ours.
[13:06] Sumire
Please.

Sorry!

Dish of the Day
[13:47] Kiyo
Let's talk local breads.
[13:52] Kenta
The sugar crunches through margarine
in this sandwich.
[13:58] Kiyo
It was popular to buy
on the way home from school.
[14:02] Sumire
So many kinds at the store.
[14:06] Sumire
I had trouble choosing one.
[14:09] Kenta
But then I'd end up with the usual.
[14:15] Kiyo
New flavors are fun,
but the usual is the best.
[14:20] Sumire
If you're not from Aomori, it's odd
to call untoasted bread "toast".
[14:26] Kenta
Not to me because
I've known it as "toast" all my life.
[14:31] Sumire
It's been around for 50 years!
[14:35] Sumire
Oh, I'm starting to crave some now.
[14:39] Kiyo
An unforgettable taste
since our childhood.
[14:44] Kiyo
I just want it sometimes.
[14:47] Kenta
That bread is famous in Aomori.
[14:50] Kenta
Any other local specialty breads?
[14:53] Sumire
Of course, I'll look some up.
[14:57] Sumire
"First, Hokkaido's fluffy vitamin bread."
[15:03] Sumire
"Niigata's buttercream bun."
[15:07] Sumire
"Cream sandwich on milk bread
from Nagano."
[15:13] Sumire
"Tochigi's bread commemorates
a hot spring flowing."
[15:18] Sumire
"Shiga's has pickles in mayonnaise."
[15:22] Sumire
"Rose-shaped bread from Shimane."
[15:25] Sumire
"Kochi's looks like a sun hat."
[15:28] Sumire
"Fukuoka's is named after New York."
[15:32] Sumire
"Okinawa's bread has zebra stripes."
[15:36] Sumire
"Toyama's jade-colored bread and
Shizuoka's giraffe's neck..."
[15:40] Sumire
"Fukushima's... Kyoto's..."
[15:44] Kenta
Who knew there are specialty breads
all over the country.
[15:49] Kiyo
A new one could be created
somewhere in Japan right now!

I'm sorry, it was me, Momohana.
[18:40] Sumire
I could see the people on the riverbank
from the bridge.
[18:44] Sumire
Looked so fun.

But I couldn't come with my hair up,

Dish of the Day
[20:44] Sumire
The Sisters and I had hamburgers
by Kamo River today.
[20:48] Kiyo
It was so good!
[20:50] Sumire
Ordinary hamburgers, but tastier
because we ate them all together.
[20:56] Sumire
How interesting.
[20:57] Tsurukoma
Cup noodles, potato chips...
[21:00] Tsurukoma
Why are we drawn to junk food?
[21:03] Sumire
Tsurukoma Sister, you're so serious.
[21:07] Tsurukoma
I've been pondering why
fast food burgers drive us crazy.
[21:14] Kiyo
Grand questions.
[21:15] Sumire
Perhaps you didn't want fast food?
[21:21] Sumire
Maybe something special
on your day off?
[21:24] Tsurukoma
No, no, not at all.
[21:27] Tsurukoma
I was excited even before I ordered.
[21:30] Sumire
Were the hamburgers there not tasty?
[21:34] Tsurukoma
No, they were delicious!
[21:37] Tsurukoma
Doubly so because we ate them together.
[21:41] Sumire
Then, what didn't you like?
[21:44] Tsurukoma
It's not about what I don’t like,
but my inner struggle.
[21:49] Tsurukoma
I must exercise self-control
with a burger, not just enjoy it.
[21:54] Sumire
Self-control?
[21:56] Tsurukoma
I cannot relax and get swept up
in the moment.
[22:00] Tsurukoma
Or else I will get carried away.
[22:03] Sumire
Carried away?
[22:06] Tsurukoma
Listen carefully.
[22:07] Tsurukoma
A fast food burger is... is...
[22:12] Tsurukoma
high in calories!
[22:14] Sumire
I see.
[22:16] Sumire
Many tasty foods do have high calories.
[22:19] Tsurukoma
I know I shouldn't eat them,
but I can't help wanting to!
[22:26] Tsurukoma
And I would never give up the chance
to eat with everyone!
[22:30] Tsurukoma
I wanted to join the hamburger fun, too!
[22:34] Sumire
We enjoyed eating our burgers
with you, too.
[22:38] Sumire
It was uplifting.
[22:40] Kiyo
Eating together is the best.
[22:44] Tsurukoma
I'm happy I could eat hamburgers
with everyone today.
[22:49] Tsurukoma
Burgers aren't wrong.
[22:51] Tsurukoma
I'm switching my focus to work hard
and shed those extra calories!
[22:58] Sumire
We're counting on you this year too,
Tsurukoma Sister.
[23:04] Tsurukoma
You bet, let's get pumped with burgers!

[05:54] Tsurukoma
Wow, today was a whirlwind.
[05:57] Tsurukoma
The first day of work is so hectic.
[06:01] Kiyo
Well done on being maiko again
after the long break.
[06:07] Sumire
We got to let our hair down
and relax over New Year's.
[06:11] Sumire
When I put my hair up and wore a kimono,
I felt ready for work.
[06:17] Tsurukoma
It truly motivated us for the first day.
[06:20] Tsurukoma
Let's give it our all!
[06:23] Kiyo
I made an energizing dish
for everyone working hard today.
[06:29] Kiyo
Spaghetti with slow-cooked
vegetables and meat sauce.
[06:34] Tsurukoma
So meaty!
[06:37] Tsurukoma
Sauce with plenty of ground meat
will give me so much power!
[06:41] Sumire
I feel like I can do my best all day
if I eat this.
[06:46] Tsurukoma
I'm getting fired up, too!
[06:49] Tsurukoma
Today's meat sauce wasn't from a can
but homemade by Kiyo.
[06:55] Kiyo
Canned is tasty, but I showed my spirit
by making it on the first day.
[07:02] Tsurukoma
Making it from scratch
must take a long time.
[07:06] Tsurukoma
Sounds hard.
[07:08] Kiyo
It does take time,
but it's not that hard.
[07:13] Kiyo
First, mince and sauté
onions, carrots and celery.
[07:17] Kiyo
Add mixture to ground meat
and cook together.
[07:22] Sumire
Mm hm.
[07:23] Kiyo
Store-bought ground meat is good,
but homemade tastes even better.
[07:28] Tsurukoma
Homemade ground meat?
[07:31] Tsurukoma
Do you need special cooking utensils?
[07:35] Kiyo
Actually, you can just pound
thinly sliced meat with a knife.
[07:39] ---
Ground meat
[07:41] Kiyo
It's a little extra work.
[07:43] Tsurukoma
I had no idea all you need is a knife.
[07:48] Kiyo
When the meat is cooked,
add whole tomatoes and tomato juice.
[07:52] Kiyo
Season to your liking
and simmer until done.
[07:56] Sumire
You were using such a large pot,
so you must have made a lot.
[08:02] Kiyo
I wanted to have some extra.
[08:05] Kiyo
I store the leftover sauce in the fridge
and use it for other dishes.
[08:10] Tsurukoma
Marvelous!
[08:12] Tsurukoma
It's perfect for gratin, risotto,
even lasagna!
[08:17] Tsurukoma
Could you make some tomorrow, Kiyo?
[08:22] Kiyo
Of course, there'll be plenty.
[08:26] Sumire & Tsurukoma
Yes!
[08:27] Tsurukoma
Looking forward to your delicious dishes
is the best motivation!

Some parts are still soft.
[09:05] Kiyo

In Aomori, Kyoto, and all over Japan,
[09:11] Narr
kagamimochi decorations are placed
throughout the house at New Year’s
[09:16] Narr
as offerings to the deities.
[09:20] Narr
After New Year’s, these rice cakes
can be dried in the sun.
[09:27] Narr
The hardened rice cakes are broken
into bitesize pieces using a wooden mallet.
[09:33] Kiyo
And those mochi pieces are used
to make a very tasty snack.
[09:38] Kiyo
But more on that later.
[09:56] Kiyo
They forgot to turn it off...
[10:01] Announcer
Next is a special feature.

[11:16] Narr
The partners are selected by the house mother,
and it is not up to the girls.

has a special older sister.

[12:11] Kiyo
Oh no, that wasn't a live broadcast!
[12:14] Kiyo
I forgot about lunch!
[12:20] Kiyo
I should use up the ham
and white sauce.
[12:24] ---
White sauce
[12:26] Narr
The first work day for
maiko is long and hectic.
[12:26] ---
Sliced ham

Dish of the Day
[13:39] Kiyo
Lunch on the first work day.
[13:41] Kiyo
It's quick and nutrient-packed
for the busy maiko.
[13:45] Kiyo
Croque madame sandwiches.
[13:47] Tsurukoma
Oh!
[13:49] Tsurukoma
I've never heard of a croque madame.
[13:54] Kiyo
I found it in a recipe book I borrowed.
[13:57] Sumire
It says a croque madame sandwich is...
[14:01] Sumire
"a croque monsieur
with a fried egg on top."
[14:05] Tsurukoma
Croque monsieur?
[14:07] Sumire
"It's a sandwich with..."
[14:10] Sumire
"ham, cheese, white sauce
and toasted."
[14:16] Sumire
"A typical light meal in France."
[14:19] Tsurukoma
A hot ham and cheese sandwich.
[14:22] Tsurukoma
The description sounds pretty easy.
[14:25] Sumire
I agree it sounds simple except
making the white sauce.
[14:31] Kiyo
Making white sauce isn't that hard.
[14:35] Kiyo
First, heat a pot on low heat
and cook butter and flour.
[14:40] Kiyo
Mix in milk and add seasoning.
[14:44] Kiyo
And it's done.
[14:47] Sumire
It says you can even make it
in the microwave.
[14:52] Sumire
"Using a microwave saves time
and reduces clumping, too."
[14:57] Sumire
"To make it, put flour and butter
in a heatproof bowl."
[15:01] Sumire
"Slowly add milk, heat in microwave,
mix and repeat."
[15:08] Sumire
That's what it says.
[15:09] Kiyo
This way it won't be ruined
by accidental burning, either.
[15:14] Tsurukoma
Now I know what a croque monsieur is.
[15:18] Tsurukoma
How is a monsieur
and madame different?
[15:21] Tsurukoma
Why does adding an egg to a monsieur
make it a madame?
[15:27] Sumire
Here's a popular theory.
[15:30] Sumire
"A croque monsieur can be eaten by hand,
so it is suited for men."
[15:36] Sumire
"But you need a fork and knife
to cut a fried egg."
[15:42] Sumire
"This makes the croque madame
refined and suitable for women."
[15:47] Tsurukoma
Madame because it's suitable for women?
[15:50] Tsurukoma
Even dish names have style in French!

Chapter 24 White Dove
[16:04] Narr
Maiko’s hairpin adornments
change with the seasons and events.
[16:10] Narr
Rice ears and a dove are used
for the 15-day new year celebrations.
[16:16] Narr
Carrying the rice ears in one’s wallet
[16:18] Narr
is believed to be a charm
for good business.
[16:22] Narr
And the white dove…
[16:24] Maiko K
It's white!
[16:26] Maiko K
Your dove is still white!?
[16:28] Maiko L
Sister!
[16:29] Maiko K
The new year celebrations end today!
[16:33] Maiko L
Yes...
[16:34] Narr
It’s said that a maiko’s
wish comes true
[16:38] Narr
if someone she admires
draws in the eyes.
[16:42] Maiko L
I want my favorite kabuki actor
to draw them in no matter what!
[16:47] Maiko K
Seems challenging.
[16:50] Tsurukoma
The Japanese chess player I like
drew mine.
[16:54] Maiko K & L
Really!?
[16:55] Maiko M
I asked the person I have a crush on.
[16:58] Maiko N
A guitarist I like.
[17:01] Sumire
Oh no.
[17:05] Sumire
I was so engrossed
in dance practice I forgot.
[17:08] ---
Still white
[17:10] Sumire
And the other evening!
[17:12] Customer
Does your dove have eyes to see?
[17:16] Sumire
Is this a riddle?
[17:22] Sumire
I really blew it.
[17:29] Kiyo
Oh!
[17:29] Sumire
Kiyo.
[17:35] Sumire
Rice cakes?
[17:36] Kiyo
Yeah.
[17:40] Kiyo
They’ve dried well,
so they’ll be delicious.
[17:47] Sumire
Kiyo, can I help?
[17:49] Kiyo
Mm.
[17:54] Kiyo
The oil’s ready.
[18:14] Sumire
They're puffing up!
[18:15] Kiyo
Still a ways to go.
[18:22] Sumire
Kiyo, are they done now?
[18:26] Kiyo
Not until they're darker.
[18:33] Kiyo
Sounds lively upstairs.
[18:34] Sumire
Because of the doves.
[18:37] Kiyo
Doves?
[18:39] Sumire
They're talking about whose doves'
eyes can see or not.
[18:43] Kiyo
A riddle?
[18:44] Sumire
Kiyo, aren't these ready?
[18:47] Kiyo
Let's lift some out.
[18:49] Sumire
Show me!
[18:53] Sumire
They're ready!
[18:55] Kiyo
I think so, too.
[18:57] Sumire
Wow, I can't wait!
[18:59] Kiyo
Not so fast.
SIGN Kakimochi Crackers

Takes long to prepare but not to eat. Delicious.)

Dish of the Day
[20:27] Tsurukoma
Kiyo, I saw you spreading out
small things on newspaper in the sun.
[20:32] Tsurukoma
I was wondering why.
[20:34] Tsurukoma
You were drying rice cake
for kakimochi crackers!
[20:38] Kiyo
I broke the New Year's kagamimochi
decoration into small pieces to dry out.
[20:45] Tsurukoma
You could break apart
such a big piece of mochi on your own?
[20:50] Kiyo
It's too hard to break apart at once.
[20:53] Kiyo
Making cracks from the edge
with a wooden mallet is easier.
[20:59] Tsurukoma
Why not use a knife?
[21:02] Kiyo
I'm not sure if there's a reason...
[21:06] Sumire
Shall I look it up?
[21:09] Sumire
Hm hm.
[21:10] Sumire
"Cutting a New Year's decoration with
a knife is considered bad luck."
[21:16] Sumire
"So, the etiquette is to break apart with
a wooden mallet or your hands."
[21:23] Tsurukoma
I see, so just don't use knives.
[21:27] Sumire
"If the mochi is too hard to break,
soak it in water once to soften."
[21:33] Sumire
"Tear it into smaller pieces and dry,
then it will break apart easily."
[21:38] Tsurukoma
So, dividing it makes it easier to break.
[21:43] Kiyo
Then deep fry the small,
dried pieces of mochi.
[21:47] Kiyo
When it puffs up, kakimochi's done.
[21:51] Kiyo
Mochi that's dried well and very hard
make better kakimochi.
[21:57] Tsurukoma
I've had kakimochi using mochi
that's not dried well.
[22:01] Tsurukoma
The texture is odd, like it's moist.
[22:05] Sumire
And the middle stays hard.
[22:08] Kiyo
The core will remain if it's not
thoroughly dried.
[22:12] Kiyo
Well-dried mochi pieces fry well.
[22:15] Kiyo
They’re crunchy throughout
and too tasty to stop eating.
[22:21] Kiyo
Fresh ones with soy sauce
have an irresistibly toasty aroma.
[22:25] Sumire
Or you can sprinkle some salt.
[22:29] Sumire
Sweetened soy sauce, dashi powder
and shichimi seasoning are also tasty.
[22:34] Kiyo
Green laver, black pepper,
even curry powder goes oddly well, too.
[22:39] Sumire
You can even season
with vegetable oil and salt.
[22:44] Tsurukoma
Stop! It's too dangerous!
[22:46] Tsurukoma
These delicious foods will become
more than New Year's weight.
[22:51] Tsurukoma
I'll gain kakimochi weight, too!
[22:54] Sumire
It seems light but it's mochi after all.
[22:57] Kiyo
You can store mochi that's dried well.
[23:00] Kiyo
I'll make small batches
so you don't gain weight, Tsurukoma.
[23:04] Tsurukoma
No thanks, I don't want to gain weight
but I want a lot of kakimochi, too!

[01:44] Kiyo
So cold today.
[01:47] Mother
I'm home.
[01:49] Kiyo
Mother, welcome home.
[01:52] Mother
Brr, it's started snowing.
[01:55] Kiyo
No wonder it's so cold.
[01:58] Mother
Oh! Kiyo, we received this.
[02:02] Kiyo
Wow, it must be premium beef!
[02:06] Mother
It’s for everyone here
from our neighbor Sister.

I'll use it for lunch.

[03:35] Tsurukoma

It's a blackout.
[03:49] Mother
The only kerosene heater that can
warm us up is in the dining room.
[03:54] Mother
Everyone dress for the cold

I used the fine beef we received
to make shabu-shabu for lunch today.
[06:01] Tsurukoma
You can't beat hot pot on cold days.
[06:04] Sumire
I love shabu-shabu, too.
[06:08] Tsurukoma
Shabu-shabu and sukiyaki are
the two most popular beef hot pots.
[06:14] Tsurukoma
Home-cooked hot pot classics.
[06:16] Sumire
Eating shabu-shabu at a restaurant
is great, too.
[06:20] Tsurukoma
Restaurant shabu-shabu!?
[06:22] Tsurukoma
The affordable all-you-can-eat kind!
[06:26] Tsurukoma
Shabu-shabu meat is so thinly sliced,
it cooks right away.
[06:31] Tsurukoma
No waiting time, so you can eat
endlessly without feeling full.
[06:38] Tsurukoma
Perfect for all-you-can-eat,
but only order meat.

Extras like mushrooms and noodles

in hot water?

That's the popular belief,
but there’s another reason.
[07:33] Sumire
Let me see...
[07:35] Sumire
"A restaurant owner came up with
a new beef hot pot dish in the 1950s."

"and saw an employee
rinsing hand towels."

[08:06] Tsurukoma
Oh, I want some.
[08:08] Kiyo
You just had some.
[08:10] Tsurukoma
I could have it every day.
[08:13] Tsurukoma
Not just in cold winter,
but with cherry blossoms in spring.

Hot, sweaty summer nights

Not a very balanced diet.

We mustn't let that happen

Mm hm.
[14:54] Mother
"Ama-kitsune is topped with a sweetened
square thin fried tofu."
[15:00] Kiyo
Isn't that the typical kitsune udon?
[15:03] Mother
"Kizami-kitsune is topped with
unsweetened sliced thin fried tofu."
[15:10] Kiyo
Is that because thin slices
absorb the soup better?
[15:14] Mother
Yes, but also...
[15:16] Mother
some people in Kyoto
can't eat them whole.
[15:20] Kiyo
Can't eat it whole?
[15:22] Kiyo
Oh, like maiko!?
[15:24] Mother & Sumire
Correct!
[15:26] Mother
It says here…
[15:27] Mother
"A maiko’s lipstick will come off
if she opens her mouth widely."
[15:33] Mother
"So, kizami-kitsune was made
to enjoy with small bites."
[15:37] Sumire
What a thoughtful, lovely story
of people from Kyoto.
[15:41] Mother
Yes, udon made out of
thoughtfulness is delicious.
[15:48] Mother
Like Kiyo did for me...
[15:51] Kiyo & Sumire
Mother?
[15:52] Mother
Not crying!

Okay.
[16:27] Shopkeeper
Thank you.
[16:29] Sumire
Take care.
[16:39] Maiko K/Maiko L
Isn't that Momohana?
[16:41] Maiko K/Maiko L
Yeah.
[16:42] Maiko K
That's not the way home.
[16:45] Maiko L
Probably making rounds.
[16:46] Maiko L
How earnest, spending her free time
visiting teahouses.
[16:51] Maiko K
Geniuses put in effort
when no one is watching.
[16:56] Maiko L
No sweets for me then!
[16:59] Maiko K
Great effort, Sister!
[17:03] Narr
Maiko go around visiting teahouses
one by one on a regular basis.
[17:11] Sumire
Excuse me, it's Momohana.
[17:13] Sumire
I'm free starting at eight tonight
and would love to entertain here.
[17:19] Sumire
Thank you!
[17:22] Narr
Making rounds can help
a maiko’s name
[17:26] Narr
be recognized by the
teahouse mistresses.
[17:29] Narr
The visits are also a way for the maiko
to ask for more chances
[17:33] Narr
to entertain at their teahouses.
[17:39] Sumire
Hello, it's Momohana.
[17:41] Housekeeper
Oh, Momohana. Mother's out now.
[17:46] Sumire
I see. Then...
[17:57] ---
To Mother
[18:03] Sumire
Please give this to her.
[18:06] Housekeeper
Alright, I'll do that.
[18:16] Sumire
A black cat! So cute!
[18:19] Housekeeper
Mother found her on the street.

She adores her.

Dish of the Day
[20:47] Kiyo
Crispy outside and moist inside,
old-fashioned doughnuts.
[20:53] Tsurukoma
Prominent in the world of doughnuts
and a classic snack.
[20:57] Tsurukoma
I love biting into the nicely fried,
crispy outer layer.
[21:02] Sumire
Plain is good too, but you can
top it with chocolate or maple syrup.
[21:07] Sumire
Coating it in sugar or cinnamon sugar
is tasty, too.
[21:11] Kiyo
It's a simple mixture of ingredients
that's deep-fried.
[21:17] Kiyo
They're easy to make,
so a perfect homemade snack.
[21:22] Sumire
But you need to cut out
the dough into rings.
[21:28] Sumire
What if you don’t have
a doughnut-shaped cutter?
[21:33] Kiyo
You can use a large cup and bottle cap.
[21:39] Kiyo
Just the right size.
[21:42] Kiyo
Or roll out the dough into a ring
for no mess.
[21:48] Tsurukoma
That sounds simple,
and no need for a dough cutter.
[21:52] Kiyo
It is fun to use them.
[21:55] Kiyo
Cutting out doughnuts is
a moment of happiness for me.
[22:00] Sumire
Kiyo, you're drooling...
[22:02] Tsurukoma
My moment of happiness is
when I have a mouthful of doughnut.
[22:08] Sumire
Sister, your mouth...
[22:09] Tsurukoma
I've always wondered why doughnuts
have holes.
[22:15] Tsurukoma
Is there a meaning behind the shape?
[22:19] Sumire
"One of the many theories is..."
[22:21] Sumire
"An American sailor got angry that
his mother made undercooked doughnuts."
[22:27] Sumire
"He told her to cut out a hole
in the center so they'll cook through."
[22:32] Sumire
"And that became the standard
doughnut shape."
[22:37] Sumire
"There is actually a monument
in Rockport, Maine."
[22:41] Sumire
"It commemorates this great achievement
of making doughnuts with holes."
[22:46] Tsurukoma
Americans must really like doughnuts.
[22:51] Kiyo
Just like you, Tsurukoma Sister.
[22:55] Tsurukoma
I live for doughnuts
as much as Americans do!
[23:00] Tsurukoma
I would stuff myself every day
if Japan had as many doughnut shops.
[23:05] Sumire
That's true love.

This is to fool demons.

[03:27] Sumire
We won't finish in time like this.
[03:34] Sumire
We need a change of pace.
[03:37] Sumire
I’ll get juice or a snack.
[03:41] Sumire
The fridge!
[03:42] Sumire
No juice!
[03:45] Sumire
Not even snacks...
[03:47] Sumire
There's nothing.
What can I do?
[03:53] Kiyo
What's the matter?
[03:58] Sumire
Kiyo!
[04:07] Kiyo
I'll use these now
instead of for breakfast.

[06:01] Kiyo
Everyone worked late into the night...
[06:04] Kiyo
so I prepared easy-to-make,
satisfying hot dogs.
[06:08] Tsurukoma
Even heartier topped with cheese.
[06:12] Tsurukoma
The best snack for an extra boost.
[06:15] Sumire
Small ones can be eaten
without a plate.
[06:19] Sumire
You can eat them while working.
[06:23] Tsurukoma
Why is bread in this shape
called a hot dog?
[06:27] Tsurukoma
What's dog-like about it?
[06:31] Sumire
It says here,
"The most famous theory is that..."
[06:35] Sumire
"the sausage's brown, long and thin
shape looks like a dachshund."
[06:41] Sumire
"The name 'dachshund sausage'
came to be 'hot dog'."
[06:46] Tsurukoma
The dachshund sausage was piping hot,
so now it’s called a hot dog.
[06:51] Tsurukoma
Clever.
[06:54] Sumire
There is an urban legend
explaining how the name evolved.
[07:01] Sumire
"A newspaper illustrator tried to
describe a dachshund sausage..."
[07:08] Sumire
"by drawing a bun
in the form of a dachshund."
[07:12] Sumire
"Stuck on how to spell 'dachshund'..."
[07:17] Sumire
"the drawing was labeled 'hot dog'."
[07:20] Sumire
"This became a topic of conversation,
and the name hot dog became popular."
[07:26] Tsurukoma
Forgetting how it’s spelled
led to the hot dog.
[07:31] Tsurukoma
So interesting!
[07:33] Sumire
"Incidentally, it's not clear if this
urban legend is actually true."
[07:40] Tsurukoma
Aren't there local specialty hot dogs
at American baseball stadiums?
[07:46] Kiyo
What do baseball stadiums
have to do with hot dogs?
[07:52] Sumire
"Watching baseball while eating
a hot dog is common in America."
[07:59] Sumire
"So, baseball stadiums came up
with specialty hot dogs."
[08:03] Tsurukoma
Hot dogs and watching baseball
are inextricable in America.
[08:10] Sumire
It says here there's a Japanese-style
hot dog shop in Canada.
[08:15] Kiyo
How is it different from others?
[08:19] Sumire
"They have a hot dog with dried seaweed
and grated daikon radish."
[08:24] Sumire
"And another with stir-fried noodles."
[08:28] Sumire
"Some even replace the sausage
with pork cutlet or shrimp tempura."
[08:34] Tsurukoma
Without a sausage,
can it even be called a hot dog?

Setsubun beans can be peanuts or soybeans,
depending on the region.
[09:21] Tsurukoma
How do we count these
to eat as many as our age?
[09:25] Tsurukoma
Two in one pod.
[09:27] Maiko N
These won't hurt enough
to make the demons flee.

Dish of the Day
[13:43] Kiyo
Today's dish is Aomori's specialty,
kamasumochi.
[13:47] Sumire
"Flour, not rice, is the main ingredient
in this mochi snack."
[13:53] Sumire
"Rice mochi is eaten on
celebratory occasions like New Year's."
[13:59] Sumire
"Flour-based kamasumochi
is an everyday snack."
[14:04] Sumire
"The outer layer is folded
like a dumpling."
[14:08] Sumire
"It's named after straw-woven
grain bags called kamasu."
[14:14] Sumire
"It has a completely different name
in Iwate."
[14:18] Sumire
"The flint-like shape..."
[14:21] Sumire
"called hiuchi, became hyuzu
in Iwate dialect."
[14:26] Kiyo
It's typical for the same dish
to have different regional names.
[14:32] Sumire
"This snack is also known as kinkamochi,
bahorimochi, mimikkomochi."
[14:37] Sumire
Why those names?
[14:40] Sumire
"In the past, sugar could only
be bought with kinka gold."
[14:45] Sumire
"Bahori is a woven farming hat
shaped like the snack."
[14:51] Sumire
"Mimikko comes from the word for ear
which also has a similar shape."
[14:57] Kiyo
For Setsubun, I made peanut paste
instead of walnut.
[15:03] Kiyo
Peanut kamasumochi!
[15:06] Sumire
A different flavor from walnuts,
but tasty in its own way.
[15:10] Kiyo
The delicious, sweet paste flows into
your mouth with the first bite.
[15:17] Sumire
The flavor of walnuts, brown sugar
and salty-sweet miso is perfect.
[15:23] Sumire
Often the soft paste squirts out
onto your clothing and hands.
[15:30] Kiyo
When it happens,
you end up with sticky clothes.
[15:36] Sumire
There's good and bad to soft paste.
[15:40] Sumire
"Kamasumochi was often eaten
during farming breaks."
[15:46] Kiyo
A post-work snack must be
extra satisfying.
[15:51] Sumire
The joy of labor.

[21:26] Tsurukoma
I store them in the fridge,
but some eventually go to waste.
[21:32] Tsurukoma
What can I do with extra lemons?
[21:35] Kiyo
I recommend preserving them in sugar.
[21:39] Kiyo
It turns into lemon syrup that you can
mix with water to make lemonade.
[21:45] Kiyo
Add to warm water for hot lemonade.
[21:48] Kiyo
Or soda water to make lemon squash.
[21:52] Kiyo
Preserved lemons are tasty as is.
[21:56] Kiyo
They're useful to have on hand,
for sweets and cooking.
[22:01] Tsurukoma
Mixing with water to make lemonade
sounds great.
[22:05] Tsurukoma
But, how do I make
sugar-preserved lemons?
[22:09] Kiyo
It's easy.
[22:11] Kiyo
Cut lemon slices and put them
in a jar alternately with sugar.
[22:16] Kiyo
In a few days, the liquid from
the lemons and sugar will become syrup.
[22:23] Tsurukoma
That sounds so easy even I could try.
[22:27] Kiyo
There's another way to make
lemonade without the syrup.
[22:33] Kiyo
I'll show you how I made it today.
[22:36] Kiyo
Just mix lemon juice and
sugar or honey, with water.
[22:42] Tsurukoma
That's just lemon water with sugar!
[22:46] Tsurukoma
I never knew making lemonade is so easy.
[22:50] Sumire
"So easy that children abroad have been
known to sell it at lemonade stands..."
[22:56] Sumire
"to make some money."
[23:00] Tsurukoma
Really?
It's great that it's so simple.
[23:05] Tsurukoma
Enjoying homemade lemonade sounds nice.

Chapter 31 A Meal Request
[01:58] Momoko
Momohana... Momohana?
[02:01] Momoko
Um, Momohana?
[02:03] Sumire
Oh!
[02:04] Sumire
I'm sorry! Yes, Momoko Sister?
[02:07] Momoko
What's the matter?
Aren’t you hungry?
[02:11] Sumire
Yes, I am, but…
[02:13] Sumire
I've never been to a place like this,
so I'm nervous.
[02:17] Man
I'm glad I invited you.
[02:19] Momoko
Thank you, sir.
[02:21] Momoko
It's her first time to dine out
with a customer.
[02:26] Sumire
Thank you for inviting me.
[02:29] Narr
On occasion regular customers treat
a familiar geiko or maiko to dine out.
[02:36] Narr
They pay for the time spent,
as well as the meal.
[02:41] Man
Order anything you'd like.
[02:44] Sumire
Thank you.
[02:46] Narr
It's done in the gentlemanly spirit
[02:48] Narr
to give the girls a break from their
busy daily schedules with a nice meal.
[02:55] Sumire
I'll have...
[02:57] ---
Foie Gras
[02:59] ---
Oyster Confit
[03:00] ---
Beef Rossini
[03:04] Sumire
I have no idea know
what these are...
[03:08] Sumire
Or if I want to eat them...
[03:11] Sumire
I’m lost. What do I want to eat?
[03:20] Sumire
Oh! Macaroni...
[03:22] Man
I'm not very hungry,
so just a few à la carte items.
[03:26] Waiter
Yes, sir, in small portions.
[03:30] Momoko
I'll have the prix fixe menu.
[03:33] Waiter
Yes, ma'am.
[03:34] Man
I’ll have this with the special sauce…
[03:42] Man
And you, Momohana?
[03:46] Sumire
I...
[03:50] Sumire
I would like the same as
Momoko Sister, please.
[04:04] Tsurukoma
Why that look?
[04:06] Maiko A
Weren't you treated to dinner
at a fancy restaurant?
[04:11] Sumire
It was fancy.
[04:13] Maiko A
It wasn't good?
[04:15] Sumire
No, it was good.
[04:17] Sumire
Was it?
[04:18] Tsurukoma
You don’t know?
[04:20] Sumire
What did I eat tonight?
[04:23] Tsurukoma
You should go to bed.
[04:35] Sumire
Don’t be so surprised.
[04:37] Kiyo
I didn't expect a dinner request
this early in the morning.
[04:43] Sumire
I'm lucky to have a kitchen
that hears my dinner request.
[04:49] Sumire
Sorry to disturb you.
SIGN Macaroni Gratin
Chicken thighs and
creamy mushroom sauce.
Macaroni al dente.
[05:32] Maiko All
Let's eat!
[05:37] Maiko B
You’re in a great mood.
[05:40] Kiyo
I feel happy right now.
[05:43] Kiyo
The happiness of cooking
what someone wants to eat.
[05:48] Maiko B
I don't get it, but being happy is good.
Right, Momohana?

Dish of the Day
[06:19] Kiyo
Today's menu was macaroni gratin
requested by Sumire.
[06:24] Tsurukoma
The golden top of a perfectly browned
gratin is so appetizing.
[06:29] Tsurukoma
The savory smell of cheese,
macaroni al dente...
[06:33] Tsurukoma
I love taking big, piping-hot bites.
[06:37] Sumire
Macaroni gratin is delicious.
[06:41] Tsurukoma
Today, it's my turn to share
a bit of food knowledge.
[06:46] Tsurukoma
"Macaroni is a type of pasta."
[06:49] Tsurukoma
"Spaghetti, another type, has
a story about a famous lie."
[06:54] Kiyo
Spaghetti?
[06:55] Kiyo
How about some macaroni trivia?
[06:58] Tsurukoma
Ah, I can't hear you.
Can't hear anything!
[07:02] Sumire
Kiyo, you shouldn't have.
[07:04] Sumire
She couldn’t find trivia on macaroni.
[07:08] Kiyo
Oops.
[07:09] Tsurukoma
So... it's my turn to share
a bit of food knowledge.
[07:15] Tsurukoma
"Macaroni is a type of pasta."
[07:17] Tsurukoma
"Spaghetti, another type, has
a story about a famous lie."
[07:22] Kiyo
A famous lie about spaghetti?
[07:25] Tsurukoma
"On April Fool's Day, 1957,
a British TV show hoaxed its viewers."
[07:31] Tsurukoma
"It was reported that spaghetti
is grown on spaghetti trees."
[07:37] Tsurukoma
"Fake footage of farmers harvesting
spaghetti hanging from trees was shown."
[07:43] Tsurukoma
"The announcer said, 'A great
spaghetti harvest is expected this year.'"
[07:49] Sumire
How could anyone believe such a lie
about harvesting spaghetti from trees?
[07:56] Tsurukoma
You would think so!
[07:58] Tsurukoma
But since it was a serious show,
many people thought it was true.
[08:03] Tsurukoma
Tons of viewers called the station
asking how to grow spaghetti trees.
[08:10] Sumire
I see... I guess you can't blindly
accept everything as truth.
[08:14] Kiyo
How did the TV station answer?
[08:20] Tsurukoma
"Plant spaghetti in a can of
tomato sauce and hope it grows."
[08:25] Tsurukoma
Was apparently their answer.
[08:27] Sumire
Their answer was so witty.
[08:30] Kiyo
I think I have a can of tomato sauce
around here...
[08:36] Tsurukoma
You're not serious, Kiyo?

Chapter 32 Maiko Sisters Giving Their All
[08:49] Sensei
No, no, Momohana,
right hand on top.
[08:53] Sumire
I'm sorry!
[08:55] Sensei
Try again.
[09:00] Sensei
There, lower your backside.
[09:05] Sumire
I'm home.
[09:20] Sumire
Wrong again.
[09:23] Sumire
Repeating a mistake means
not enough practice.
[09:26] Sumire
Above all else, practice.
[09:29] Sumire
I'm home.
[09:30] Tsurukoma
You're late, Momohana.
[09:32] Maiko A
It's long past lunch.
[09:34] Sumire
Yes, I stayed late to practice.
[09:37] Tv Announcer
Now let’s hear from
our reporter onsite.
[09:42] Reporter A
Hello!
I'm in front of Kyoto City Hall.
[09:46] Reporter A
The brass band and
cheering groups are standing by.
[09:51] Reporter A
Many runners are coming through now!
[09:54] Maiko
Huh? Is that…
[10:00] Tsurukoma
Momoko Sister!?
[10:02] Maiko C
Why!?
[10:03] Maiko D
She's blowing kisses!
[10:05] Tsurukoma
Wow, there's a crowd
growing around her.
[10:08] Maiko C
She winked again!
[10:12] Sumire
Momoko Sister!
[10:14] Narr
A maiko’s updo is with her own hair,
whereas a geiko wears a wig.
[10:21] Narr
This allows a geiko more flexibility
to do things when not working.
[10:26] Sumire
Should I go cheer her on?
[10:29] Sumire
I made the same mistake again.
[10:39] Sumire
How nice...
[10:41] Sumire
Momoko Sister gets to be a geiko
without struggling like me.
[10:47] Kiyo
Huh? Sumire!
[10:50] Kiyo
You're home! I saved you lunch.
[10:53] Sumire
Thanks, but I'm not hungry now.
[10:59] Sumire
I made a mistake in dance today.
[11:02] Sumire
And I just saw Momoko Sister
running the marathon on TV.
[11:06] Sumire
That's right!
[11:08] Sumire
I was going to cheer her on!
[11:17] Reporter B
This is the finish line.
[11:19] Sumire
Is she blowing more kisses?
[11:27] Sumire
Momoko Sister looked serious.
[11:39] Sumire
Momoko Sister?
[11:42] Momoko
Oh, Momohana?
[11:44] Momoko
How did you find me
when I didn't tell anyone?
[11:49] Sumire
Well, of course, you stood out.
[11:52] Momoko
Stood out?
[11:54] Momoko
You came to cheer me on?
[11:56] Sumire
Yes...
[11:57] Sumire
This is a gift from Kiyo.
[12:00] Momoko
Who's Kiyo?
[12:02] Sumire
She's our House cook.
SIGN Kiyo’s Bento Box
Fried pork, omelet,
seasoned vegetables and
rice with seaweed.
[12:26] Momoko
I'm so glad you brought food for me,
because I'm going to entertain.
[12:31] Sumire
Huh!? After a full marathon!?
[12:35] Momoko
Of course.
[12:37] Momoko
I run to build stamina,
so I can give my all entertaining.
[12:45] Momoko
Let's eat and do our best.
[12:48] Momoko
There were two stacked boxes
with the same meal.
[12:51] Momoko
Isn’t one for you?
[13:02] Sumire
I'm ready to practice dance again!

Dish of the Day
[13:25] Sumire
Kiyo made a bento box for Momoko
Sister who ran a full marathon today.
[13:33] Kiyo
How amazing to finish
a full marathon!
[13:36] Tsurukoma
She even went on to entertain
right afterwards.
[13:41] Tsurukoma
Only she could.
[13:43] Sumire
Momoko Sister ate the bento clean.
[13:48] Sumire
Must have been delicious.
[13:50] Tsurukoma
Homemade bento with omelet,
fried food and seasoned vegetables...
[13:56] Tsurukoma
I like these simple,
comforting foods.
[13:59] Sumire
These are favorites
you always find in bento.
[14:05] Tsurukoma
Yes, and speaking of favorites...
[14:08] Tsurukoma
Fried chicken, meat balls,
ground beef steak, fried shrimp...
[14:13] Tsurukoma
And minced chicken on rice.
[14:16] Tsurukoma
The savory and sweet chicken
goes so well with rice.
[14:20] Kiyo
All brown foods...
[14:23] Sumire
It says, "A bento with five colors
makes for a well-balanced meal."
[14:30] Sumire
"White rice, brown from meat
or fried foods..."
[14:33] Sumire
"green and red vegetables
plus yellow eggs."
[14:37] Sumire
"Or the white and brown
can be something black."
[14:42] Kiyo
I've heard that, too.
[14:44] Kiyo
Ingredients of the five colors
will naturally lead to a nutritious meal.
[14:49] Sumire
"Japanese cuisine follows
a rule of five..."
[14:54] Sumire
"Five flavors."
[14:54] ---
Sweet / Salty / Sour / Bitter / Spicy
[14:56] Sumire
"Five colors."
[14:58] Sumire
"Five preparation methods."
[14:59] ---
Raw / Simmered / Grilled / Steamed / Fried
[15:01] Sumire
"These are important in
well-balanced Japanese cooking."
[15:06] Sumire
"The five colors come from
China’s Five Phases theory."
[15:10] Sumire
"White, black, yellow, red,
and blue or green."
[15:16] Tsurukoma
I see. So...
[15:18] Tsurukoma
A bento shouldn't be just brown
with meat. It needs colorful vegetables.
[15:24] Tsurukoma
What are bento vegetable favorites?
[15:27] Tsurukoma
Burdock root, dried daikon radish,
simmered potatoes...
[15:31] Tsurukoma
Oh no, all brown!
[15:33] Kiyo
Green beans, broccoli or cherry tomatoes
are bento favorites.
[15:38] Tsurukoma
Yes! My bento always had
cherry tomatoes and broccoli!
[15:42] Sumire
Seems like bento food favorites...
[15:46] Sumire
make sense for a colorful,
nutritionally balanced meal.
[15:50] Tsurukoma
There's meaning behind
things that become favorites.

No, thank you.
[16:50] Kiyo
Please wait a bit and
I'll make some coffee.
[16:54] Momoko
Oh, that sounds nice. Thanks.
[16:56] Kiyo
Not at all.
[16:58] Momoko
You're the girl who’s
the House cook?
[17:02] Momoko
The one who came from Aomori

[17:05] Kiyo
Yes.
[17:52] Momoko
The pound cake was delicious.
You made it, Chiro?
[17:57] Kiyo
Yes, for everyone's snack.
[18:00] Kiyo
I'm sorry.
May I start preparing dinner?
[18:05] Momoko
Oh, Pero. I'll head home then.
[18:08] Kiyo
Won't you stay and
eat with us, Momoko?
[18:12] Kiyo
Everyone will be home soon.
[18:16] Momoko
You're making...?
[18:17] Kiyo
Pork soup.
[18:19] Momoko
I'm in!
[19:24] Momoko
You’re lovely.
SIGN Pork Soup
Hearty pork miso soup
packed with root vegetables,
konjac, taro, and Welsh onions.
[19:43] Kiyo
Please try some.
[19:45] Momoko
Some pork, too. I love meat.
[19:47] Kiyo
Sure.
[19:52] Momoko
It's not enough.
[19:54] Kiyo
More flavor?
[19:56] Momoko
No, I'd like more soup.
[20:05] Momoko
Will you tell me your name?
[20:08] Kiyo
It's Kiyo.

[20:36] Kiyo
Pork soup, a classic!
[20:39] Momoko
Around Kansai, it’s called differently.
[20:42] Momoko
Yours was delicious.
[20:46] Kiyo
The miso flavor and aroma
go well with the pork.
[20:50] Kiyo
Vegetables add a
simple tastiness, too.
[20:53] Kiyo
Why are the vegetables
in pork soup so delicious?
[20:57] Sumire
Shall we look up pork soup?
[21:00] Sumire
"Pork soup is made by simmering
pork and vegetables with miso."
[21:05] Sumire
"The ingredients differ depending on
the region and who makes it."
[21:10] Sumire
"Pork belly, burdock root, carrots..."
[21:12] Sumire
"Welsh onion, konjac,
and taro are common."
[21:16] Momoko
Another well-known soup with
many ingredients is kenchin.
[21:20] Momoko
How is it different from pork soup?
[21:23] Sumire
"A monk made kenchin soup at
Kenchoji Temple in Kamakura."
[21:30] Sumire
"Kenchoji soup came to be
pronounced kenchin."
[21:37] Sumire
"Originating at a Buddhist temple,"
[21:40] Sumire
"the broth is taken from kelp
and mushrooms, not meat or fish."
[21:45] Kiyo
I see. Pork is not found
in kenchin soup.
[21:50] Sumire
"Pork soup is eaten all over Japan."
[21:54] Sumire
"It was introduced at the end
of the nineteenth century."
[21:59] Sumire
"Until then, it was not customary
to eat beef or pork in Japan."
[22:05] Momoko
But boar meat hot pot has
existed since the olden days.
[22:10] Momoko
Isn't that the origin?
[22:13] Sumire
That's one theory, and also...
[22:16] Sumire
"Someone put pork in kenchin."
[22:19] Sumire
"It was eaten by Hokkaido's militia ."
[22:24] Sumire
"A rearranged version
of Yamagata's soup."
[22:26] Sumire
"Or it comes from a regional soup
in Kagoshima."
[22:32] Kiyo
So many theories!
[22:34] Momoko
Pork soup is a classic winter soup.
[22:37] Momoko
I crave it on cold days,
because it warms my body.
[22:41] Kiyo
Me, too. My grandma made it
for me often on cold days.
[22:47] Sumire
All the vegetables make it very healthy.
[22:51] Kiyo
Yup!
[22:52] Kiyo
One bowl gives you all the good
nutrition from the vegetables.
[22:57] Kiyo
The ultimate miso soup!
[23:00] Kiyo
Try having pork soup on a cold day
to warm your body and spirit.
[23:06] Momoko
With plenty of meat.

Delicious!

Dish of the Day
[05:44] Kiyo
Today’s dish is two types of gyoza.
[05:47] Kiyo
One for maiko, and the other
for girls who have the next day off.
[05:52] Tsurukoma
Maiko get bite-sized ones
without garlic or garlic chives.
[05:57] Kiyo
They can’t eat foods
that smell too strong.
[06:01] Kiyo
So I made the gyoza small, with lots of
napa cabbage and white cabbage.
[06:07] Tsurukoma
Delicious!
[06:10] Sumire
Girls with a day off get ones
with garlic and garlic chives.
[06:14] Kiyo
I put a lot of garlic in Sumire’s,
because she usually can’t have any.
[06:21] Tsurukoma
You’re making me wish I could eat
gyoza with a lot of garlic, too!
[06:27] Kiyo
They’re good without, but garlic makes
a true gyoza eating experience.
[06:33] Tsurukoma
Yeah, garlic in gyoza is a given.
[06:38] Sumire
Actually, not really.
[06:40] Tsurukoma
Huh?! How so?
[06:43] Sumire
“Putting garlic in gyoza
is unique to Japan.”
[06:47] Sumire
It says, “Authentic Chinese gyoza
don’t have garlic.”
[06:51] Tsurukoma
I’ve heard that.
[06:54] Sumire
“Gyoza introduced to Japan from China
after World War II used mutton.”
[07:01] Sumire
“In order to get rid of mutton’s
distinct smell…”
[07:06] Sumire
“garlic was used in Japanese gyoza.”
[07:10] Tsurukoma
So, garlic gyoza is a Japanese variation.
[07:14] Sumire
“Pork later replaced mutton.”
[07:18] Sumire
“But garlic is still used
in Japanese gyoza,” it says.
[07:22] Kiyo
Also, in Japan most dumplings
are pan-fried…
[07:26] Kiyo
but they’re generally boiled in China.
[07:29] Kiyo
Japanese-style pan-fried gyoza
was compatible with garlic.
[07:35] Sumire
“In Japan, gyoza are eaten
as a side dish.”
[07:35] ---
Side dish
[07:39] Sumire
“But they’re a staple food in China.”
[07:40] ---
Staple food
[07:43] Sumire
“Many Chinese are surprised that
Japanese gyoza come with rice.”
[07:50] Tsurukoma
One staple food with another…
[07:54] Tsurukoma
Would it be like eating
sushi and rice together?
[08:00] Sumire
“In China, noodles are also a staple.”
[08:04] Sumire
“So, to the Chinese, a meal with ramen,
gyoza and rice is just staple foods.”
[08:10] Tsurukoma
Japanese gyoza evolved with
distinct ingredients and ways of eating.
[08:16] Tsurukoma
Well, I’m glad because I love a meal
with ramen, rice and gyoza!
[08:21] Sumire
Rice with udon noodles or
okonomiyaki pancakes is tasty, too.
[08:25] Kiyo
Eating carbs with carbs is so good!
[08:30] Kiyo
Oh, next time I crave homemade curry…
[08:33] Kiyo
I could pour rice porridge on the rice!
Maybe not.
[08:38] Tsurukoma
Nope.

Chapter 35 Sumire’s Day Off (Part One)
[08:48] Narr
For maiko, their few days off
each month are special.
[08:52] Narr
They wear their hair down and instead
of kimonos, regular clothes and shoes.
[09:00] Narr
They go back to being regular girls.
[09:03] Sumire
I’m ready, Kiyo. Shall we?
[09:06] Kiyo
Yeah, we’ve never
had the same day off.
[09:09] Sumire
Yeah. Where to?
[09:12] Tsurukoma
Wait.
[09:15] Tsurukoma
Haven’t you forgotten something?
[09:17] Kiyo
I have my wallet, candy, chocolate
and cookies…
[09:22] Tsurukoma
Nothing’s that sweet.
[09:24] Tsurukoma
This!
[09:28] Sumire
Right, the shopping list.
[09:31] Kiyo
For what?
[09:33] Narr
A maiko wearing her hair up is restricted
from shopping at many stores.
[09:39] Tsurukoma
Girls on their day off need to be
the House supply chain. Got it?
[09:46] Sumire
Bye!
[09:47] Kiyo
See you later.
[09:56] Sumire
No one’s watching me.
[09:59] Sumire
Or taking photos of me.
[10:08] Kiyo
Where to, first?
[10:10] Sumire
Um…
[10:11] Sumire
The department store.
SIGN Triple-Scoop Ice Cream Cone
Three ice cream flavors in one,
every girl’s dream!
[11:28] Kiyo
It’s like “tinkle” ice cream.
[11:30] Sumire
Yeah, good memories.
[11:33] Kiyo
The blue part was the best.
[11:36] Sumire
It tasted the same as the pink.
[11:38] Kiyo
Did it really?
[11:45] Sumire
I feel like a regular girl.
[11:49] Sumire
A regular girl can shop and eat out
with friends whenever she wants.
[11:55] Sumire
Spend every day like this.
[11:58] Female Student A
Hey, where did you go
during free time?
[12:01] Male Student
The Philosophers’ Walk.
[12:03] Female Student B
We went to Hanami Koji street,
and I got a great picture!
[12:07] Female Student A
Oh, show me!
[12:08] Female Student B
Here!
[12:10] Female Student C
A maiko!
[12:11] Female Student A
Wow, lucky!
[12:13] Female Student C
Can you send it to me?
[12:19] Sumire
My thoughts weren’t
very professional just now.
[12:24] Kiyo
We’ve shopped for the House,
so you choose our last stop.
[12:28] Kiyo
Where to?
[12:30] Sumire
Umm, it’s…
[12:37] Sumire
Don’t laugh, okay?
[12:39] Sumire
I’ve wanted to go for a long time.
[12:43] Kiyo
Where’s that?

Dish of the Day
SIGN Dish of the Day
[13:07] Tsurukoma
Momohana and Kiyo,
you went out today.
[13:11] Sumire
Yes, we’d already promised each other
to go out together on our day off.
[13:17] Kiyo
This was the first time we had
the same day off, so I was so excited.
[13:22] Sumire
Me, too.
[13:24] Tsurukoma
You two are very close.
[13:27] Tsurukoma
What did you do?
[13:29] Kiyo
We played the claw crane game.
[13:32] Sumire
Then we had ice cream.
[13:36] Sumire
I enjoyed walking and eating ice cream
with a friend, like a regular girl.
[13:42] Tsurukoma
It’s true you can’t do that
dressed as a maiko.
[13:46] Tsurukoma
I understand the longing.
[13:49] Kiyo
The great thing about ice cream
is that you can eat it while walking.
[13:54] Kiyo
Whoever invented the edible cone
to serve ice cream is a genius!
[14:01] Sumire
Inventor of the cone…
[14:04] Sumire
I’ll look it up.
[14:07] Sumire
“Many stories exist about
the ice cream cone’s origin.”
[14:10] Sumire
“The most famous one is from
the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair.”
[14:16] Sumire
“It was a very hot day, and ice cream
was flying off the shelves.”
[14:20] Sumire
“The shop ran out of serving cups.”
[14:24] Sumire
“So, a neighboring waffle vendor
rolled one up to hold a scoop.”
[14:32] Sumire
“The crispy waffle went well with
the cold ice cream and was a hit.”
[14:37] Sumire
“Ice cream in a cone
became popular after that.”
[14:43] Tsurukoma
So, it was an accidental invention.
[14:46] Kiyo
I was worried one of my triple scoops
would fall off.
[14:53] Sumire
The brightly colored triple-scoop cone
was like “tinkle” ice cream.
[14:58] Tsurukoma
What’s that?
[15:00] Sumire
A kind of ice cream from Aomori.
[15:03] Sumire
It’s sold from stands at events
like school sports day.
[15:06] Tsurukoma
Wow, I’ve never heard of it.
What’s it like?
[15:10] Kiyo
Colorful ice creams are sold
from a cart.
[15:15] Kiyo
Pink, blue, green… so many colors!
[15:20] Sumire
The bell on the cart tinkles,
and that’s where the name is from.
[15:26] Tsurukoma
Just like the sound.
[15:28] Sumire
The texture is more like sherbet.
It’s cold, slightly sweet, and tasty.
[15:34] Tsurukoma
A flavor that brings back
fond memories for you.
[15:38] Sumire
“There are similar ice creams
in Akita, Tochigi and Nagasaki.”
[15:45] Sumire
So, ice cream is sold like this
in other places, too.
[15:52] Sumire
It’s nice to know.
[16:02] Kiyo
We’ve shopped for the House,
so you choose our last stop.
[16:07] Kiyo
Where to?
[16:09] Sumire
Where do I want to go?
[16:13] Sumire
There’s… a place I’ve wanted to go
for a long time.

[18:04] Kiyo
Yeah.
[18:06] Kiyo
I’ll get more, while they’re on sale.
[18:09] Sumire
For dinner tonight?
[18:10] Kiyo
Yeah.
[18:13] Sumire
Kiyo, I have a request.
[18:16] Kiyo
Huh?
[18:28] Kiyo
Great!
[18:29] Kiyo
You’re ready.
[18:31] Sumire
Thanks.
[18:32] Kiyo
Now, let’s wash our hands.

make dinner tonight.

Enjoy…
[19:35] Maiko
So soft!
[19:36] Maiko

[19:38] Maiko
The egg is nice and runny!

[19:43] Kiyo

Oh no, I need to go!

Kiyo, thank you!
[19:51] Maiko C
Bye!
[19:52] Kiyo
See you later!

[20:01] Kiyo
Now, time to prepare

Dish of the Day
[20:53] Sumire
I had so much fun cooking
with you today, Kiyo.
[20:57] Kiyo
Me, too.
[20:59] Sumire
I was nervous about cooking for
many people but I’m glad it went well.
[21:05] Sumire
Thanks to you, the Scotch egg
turned out great.
[21:09] Sumire
Kiyo, can you go over how to make
a Scotch egg again?
[21:14] Kiyo
Sure.
[21:15] Kiyo
Peel a boiled egg and dredge in flour.
[21:19] Kiyo
Wrap it in ground meat.
[21:23] Kiyo
Coat with flour, whisked eggs,
breadcrumbs, then deep fry.
[21:30] Sumire
Using a whole egg makes them
very filling.
[21:35] Tsurukoma
Kiyo, Kiyo!
[21:36] Tsurukoma
I tried making a Scotch egg,
but the yolk was hard!
[21:43] Tsurukoma
How do I make it soft like yours?
[21:47] Kiyo
Even if you use a soft-boiled egg…
[21:51] Kiyo
it gets cooked when deep fried.
[21:55] Kiyo
And ends up hard.
[21:58] Sumire
But yours was still soft and runny.
[22:02] Tsurukoma
It’s unforgettable!
How do you do it?
[22:07] Kiyo
Let me tell you.
[22:10] Kiyo
There’s a secret to making
Scotch egg with a soft center.
[22:14] Kiyo
Secret?
[22:16] Kiyo
The “ice-cold soft-boiled egg” secret!
[22:21] Tsurukoma
What?!
[22:24] Tsurukoma
Using an ice-cold soft-boiled egg…
[22:27] Tsurukoma
keeps the yolk from overcooking
as the ground beef is fried.
[22:32] Tsurukoma
And the egg stays soft-boiled?!
[22:34] Kiyo
Nice explanation!
[22:37] Sumire
It sounds obvious,
but what an eye-opener.
[22:40] Tsurukoma
I’ll try it now!
Thanks, Kiyo!
[22:44] Tsurukoma
Soft-boiled Scotch egg party tonight!
[22:47] Sumire
Sister, go for it!
[22:50] Sumire
Even a dish like Scotch eggs
requires tricks.
[22:55] Sumire
The world of cooking is deep.
[22:58] Kiyo
I want to make more delicious dishes.
[23:02] Sumire
And I’m devoting myself more
to my maiko work.
[23:07] Kiyo & Sumire
Let’s do it!
