SIGN    Chapter 1 Kiyo and Sumire
SIGN    Kyoto, the ancient capital.
SIGN    The world-famous city is one of Japan’s most popular tourist destinations.
SIGN    As evening descends upon Kyoto, a district emerges across the river.
SIGN    Kyoto’s Kagai.
SIGN    The neighborhood comes to life at night.
[02:03] Kiyo
    Umph!
[02:08] Kiyo
    Whoa.
[02:12] Kiyo Mono
    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!
SIGN    Pudding a la Mode (with whipped cream garnish)
[06:53] Kiyo
    What’s taking her so long?
[07:04] Sumire Mono
    Kiyo, watch me.
[07:08] Sumire Mono
    I’ll become Kagai’s top maiko
    no matter what.

    Dish of the Day.
[07:32] Kiyo
    Welcome to Dish of the Day!
[07:35] Sumire
    Hope you enjoy it!
[07:39] 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!

SIGN    Chapter 2 Menu for a Special Day
[08:52] Kiyo
    Mm, I see.
[08:58] Kiyo
    This is good, too.
SIGN    Nutrient-Packed Recipes
[09:03] Kiyo
    There.
[09:05] Kiyo
    This... and this.
[09:07] Kiyo
    And this one, and this and this!
[09:15] Kiyo
    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.
[11:13] Sensei
    So well baked! Delicious!
[11:18] Sumire
    1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3.
[11:29] Maiko A
    Sumire, it’s time for lunch.
[11:32] Sumire
    Yes, Sister.
[11:34] Sumire
    But I’d like to keep
    reviewing today’s lessons.
[11:40] Maiko A
    You’ll forget to eat again!
[11:43] Sumire
    But...
[11:44] Tsurukoma
    Something’s up with lunch!
[11:48] Maiko
    What is happening?
SIGN    Chili Shrimp
SIGN    Pork Cutlet
SIGN    Gratin
SIGN    Rice Omelet
SIGN    Crab Omelet
SIGN    Creamy Stew
SIGN    Fried Dumplings
[12:23] Kiyo
    There is plenty more!
[12:25] Maiko C
    Even more?
[12:28] Kiyo
    Now is the time to eat well
    so you can be your best.
[12:34] Maiko
    Eat well?
[12:36] Maiko B
    Why now?
[12:38] Maiko C
    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.
[13:11] Kiyo
    Great!
[13:13] Kiyo
    Now for supper!
[13:14] Maiko
    What!? Give us a break!
[13:18] Maiko
    I can’t take it.
[13:20] Mother Mono
    Those two cannot help but give their all.
[13:40] ---
    Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House!
[13:48] Sumire
    Sumire.
[13:50] Kiyo
    And Kiyo’s.
[13:53] ---
    Dish of the Day.
[13:57] Sumire
    You made so many dishes today.
[14:01] Kiyo
    A variety of nutrient-packed foods
    to energize everyone.
[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!
[15:43] Sumire
    Yay!
[15:45] Kiyo & Sumire
    Sticky foods! Sticky foods!
[15:48] Kiyo & Sumire
    Mozuku, okra, nameko, yam, taro...
[15:51] Mother Mono
    Those two cannot help but give their all.
SIGN    Chapter 3 Secret Supper Plan
[16:01] Sumire
    I’m off to my lesson.
[16:04] Mother
    Sumire, wait a moment.
[16:07] Mother
    You forgot your fan.
[16:09] Sumire
    Ah! Thank you, Mother.
[16:12] Mother
    It’s not like you.
[16:14] Sumire
    I’m sorry.
[16:16] Big Brother
    Good morning.
[16:17] Mother
    Good morning, Big Brother.
[16:21] Sumire
    Good morning.
[16:22] Big Brother
    Going to your lesson so early, Sumire?
[16:27] Sumire
    Yes.
[16:27] Big Brother
    Take care.
[16:28] Big Brother
    Thank you.
[16:30] Sumire
    Excuse me.
[16:33] Big Brother
    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.
[16:52] Mother
    Otokoshi mustn’t lavish
    praise on just one girl.
[16:58] Big Brother
    You’re right.
SIGN    An Otokoshi is a professional helper who assists geiko and maiko in putting on their kimono.
SIGN    They make rounds to the maiko houses to lift garments as heavy as 20 kilograms.
SIGN    A handful of men work in Kagai like this.
[17:16] Big Brother
    But every day I see how hard she works.
[17:21] Big Brother
    It’s hard not to get my hopes up.
[17:25] Mother
    Yes.
[17:27] Big Brother
    Mother, are you worried
    about Sumire’s weight loss?
[17:36] Mother
    I can’t tell her not to work as hard.
[17:43] Big Brother
    It’s not easy to be Mother.
[17:50] Big Brother
    Has the bathroom light burned out again?
[17:54] Mother
    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.
[18:11] Kiyo
    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.
[18:37] Kiyo
    This book I dropped behind the fridge
    is from the library.
[18:43] Big Brother
    “100 Easy & Filling Recipes”?
[18:47] Kiyo
    Sumire has been too busy to eat these days.
[18:51] Kiyo
    So, I’m looking into small dishes
    packed with energy.
[18:56] Big Brother
    Hm.
[18:58] Kiyo
    This one looks good, too.
[19:00] Kiyo
    It’s similar to that one.
[19:06] Kiyo
    Oops.
[19:11] Sumire
    I’m leaving!
[19:14] Kiyo
    What about supper?
[19:15] Sumire
    Thanks, but I’m bringing
    Sister her umbrella.
[19:20] Sumire
    Sorry. I’ll eat breakfast tomorrow.
[19:23] Kiyo
    Okay! Stay dry!
[19:25] Sumire
    Bye!
[19:30] Kiyo
    Sumire, breakfast!
[19:32] Sumire
    Thanks, but I want to
    get ready for my lesson.
[19:37] Kiyo
    Where’s Sumire?
[19:39] Maiko H
    She’s gone on an errand for Mother.
[19:47] Kiyo
    Big Brother!
[19:50] Big Brother
    Kiyo!
[19:52] Kiyo
    Hello.
[19:53] Big Brother
    You have so many groceries today.
[19:57] Kiyo
    Mother wants everyone
    to eat together for once.
[20:01] Big Brother
    Hm. That’s nice.
[20:07] Big Brother
    Isn’t that Sumire?
[20:09] Kiyo
    Yes!
[20:10] Kiyo
    Hey, Sumire!
[20:32] Kiyo
    I have a secret plan for supper.
[20:35] Big Brother
    Oh?
[20:36] Kiyo
    Sumire can’t say no
    to this Aomori specialty!
[20:41] Kiyo
    Mince vegetables and squid.
[20:45] Kiyo
    Combine with flour, salt, sugar and water.
[20:49] Kiyo
    Fry to a crisp.
SIGN    Squid Mince (An Aomori staple)
[20:52] Kiyo
    Squid mince!
[20:54] Kiyo
    An Aomori specialty.
[20:56] Kiyo
    Serve as you like with brown sauce,
    ketchup or soy sauce.
[21:01] Kiyo
    It’s slightly sweet, and perfect with rice!
[21:05] Kiyo
    Oh, I should make extra rice.
[21:07] Kiyo
    Big Brother, I need to soak the rice!
[21:11] Kiyo
    Immediately!
[21:14] Big Brother
    Right. Bye!
[21:26] Big Brother
    Life has many paths.

    Dish of the Day.
[21:52] Sumire
    Squid mince! Just like home!
[21:55] Sumire
    I ate it all the time.
[21:58] Kiyo
    It’s a staple dish in Aomori after all.
[22:01] Kiyo
    The flavor of squid mince
    is imprinted in our stomachs.
[22:06] Sumire
    Until I came to Kyoto, I thought
    squid mince was eaten all over Japan.
[22:14] Kiyo
    You could buy it
    at the supermarket back home.
[22:18] Kiyo
    We even had it for school lunch.
[22:21] Sumire
    Brown sauce, ketchup, soy sauce or salt.
    It's difficult to choose a dip.
[22:26] Sumire
    You can even choose no dip!
[22:30] Kiyo
    Mm hm.
[22:31] Kiyo
    Each family has their own shape and flavor.
[22:35] Kiyo
    Aomori has countless squid mince recipes!
[22:41] Kiyo
    Spiced with curry.
[22:43] Kiyo
    Or refreshing with ginger and Japanese basil.
[22:47] Sumire
    Yours are little round balls.
[22:51] Sumire
    But some are oval, like patties.
[22:53] Sumire
    Jumbo is great, too.
[22:56] Kiyo
    It’s fun to compare the variety
    of shapes and flavors at the supermarket.
[23:02] Sumire
    Squid mince is the soul food
    of the Aomori people.
[23:06] Sumire
    Please give it a try!
