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. [07:17] ---     Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House! [07:25] Sumire     Sumire [07:27] Kiyo     And Kiyo’s [07:30] ---     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! [08:39] ---     Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House 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. [21:36] ---     Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House!

[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!
