**[01:37] Tsurukoma**
These ingredients can only mean…
**[01:41] Tsurukoma**
someone’s off tomorrow?!
**[01:45] Sumire**
I am.
**[01:49] Maiko A**
Momohana…
**[01:51] Maiko All**
We want to have garlic, too…
**[01:54] Narr**
Maiko are professional entertainers,
**[01:57] Narr**
so they can’t eat anything
that smells too strong.
**[02:01] Narr**
They’re only allowed
to have these foods on their days off.
**[02:12] Sumire**
I’m not eating dinner until
after entertaining.
**[02:19] Tsurukoma**
Momohana, you’re a real maiko now.
**[02:21] Sumire**
Yes! Thank you, Sister.
**[02:24] Kiyo**
Only Sumire’s have garlic.
**[02:27] Kiyo**
For the rest of you…
***SIGN*** Gyoza dumplings for maiko (bite-size)
No garlic or garlic chives.
Lots of white cabbage plus ginger
and napa cabbage.
**[02:54] Maiko All**
Let’s eat!
**[03:03] Maiko All**
Delicious!
**[03:04] Maiko**
I love them piping hot!
**[03:07] Tsurukoma**
Soy sauce and chili oil is the best.
**[03:09] Maiko**
I like black pepper and vinegar.
**[03:12] Maiko**
That sounds good.
**[03:17] Sumire**
I’m having gyoza dumplings at home, too,
with plenty of garlic.
**[03:55] Customer**
Momohana, your dancing
was brilliant today.
**[03:59] Sumire**
Thank you.
**[04:01] Sumire**
Right now, Kiyo must be…
**[04:05] Sumire**
chopping garlic.
**[04:10] Sumire**
Oh, no more beer.
**[04:12] Sumire**
Excuse me.
**[04:13] Housekeeper**
Yes?
**[04:17] Sumire**
Hope she doesn’t
go easy on the garlic.
**[04:21] Sumire**
Please put in a lot.
**[04:23] Sumire**
Thank you very much.
**[04:26] Housekeeper**
A bottle with a lot of beer?
**[04:31] Sumire**
Oh no! Are you alright?
I’ll get a cloth to clean up.
**[04:36] Sumire**
Excuse me!
**[04:40] Sumire**
I wonder if Kiyo’s
wrapping the gyoza now?
**[04:45] Sumire**
I hope they aren’t bite-sized.
**[04:48] Sumire**
Extra-large, please.
**[04:51] Housekeeper**
Umm… she needs a large cloth
for a big spill?
**[04:56] Sumire**
Thank you.
***SIGN*** Gyoza dumplings for a day off
Pan-fried gyoza with garlic,
garlic chives and lots of white cabbage.
Enjoy with dipping sauce.
**[05:20] Tsurukoma**
I’m requesting gyoza
for my next day off!
**[05:24] Maiko B**
Me, too!
**[05:28] ---**
Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House
**[05:36] Sumire**
Sumire
**[05:38] Kiyo**
And Kiyo’s
**[05:39] ---**
Dish of the Day
**[05:41] ---**
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.
**[08:44] ---**
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.
**[16:18] ---**
Chapter 36 Sumire’s Day Off (Part Two)
**[16:23] Kiyo**
So…
**[16:25] Kiyo**
This is my usual supermarket.
**[16:28] Kiyo**
You want to go here?
**[16:30] Sumire**
Yeah.
**[16:31] Kiyo**
Okay.
**[16:32] Kiyo**
I can shop for dinner, too.
**[16:35] Sumire**
I want to push the cart! Can I?
**[16:38] Kiyo**
Sure.
**[16:45] Sumire**
Yes!
**[16:46] Kiyo**
Hm.
**[16:48] Kiyo**
Today’s specials…
**[16:50] ---**
Special value
**[16:51] Kiyo**
Great!

**[16:58] ---**
Special value
**[17:00] Sumire**
Great!
***SIGN*** Japanese Wagyu beef
**[17:12] Kiyo**
How’s this?
**[17:15] Kiyo**
Sadly, it’s over budget.
**[17:18] Sumire**
Me, too.
**[17:20] ---**
Japanese wagyu beef
**[17:22] Sumire**
How’s this?
**[17:25] Sumire**
No, it’s over budget.
**[18:03] Sumire**
So many eggs.
**[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.
**[18:35] Sumire**
Yes.
***SIGN*** Scotch egg
(Made with leftover ground meat and egg.
Crispy outside, soft-boiled inside!
Serve with ketchup.)
**[19:24] Maiko C**
Oh, Momohana?
**[19:26] Kiyo**
Sumire helped me
make dinner tonight.
**[19:29] Maiko C & D**
Let’s eat!
**[19:31] Kiyo**
Enjoy.
**[19:32] Sumire**
Enjoy…
**[19:35] Maiko**
So soft!
**[19:36] Maiko**
Delicious!
**[19:38] Maiko**
The egg is nice and runny!
**[19:40] Kiyo**
Seconds?
**[19:42] Maiko C & D**
Please!
**[19:43] Kiyo**
Okay!
**[19:44] Maiko D**
Me, too!
**[19:45] Maiko C**
Oh no, I need to go!
**[19:47] Sumire**
Oh, I…
**[19:49] Maiko D**
Kiyo, thank you!
**[19:51] Maiko C**
Bye!
**[19:52] Kiyo**
See you later!
**[19:56] Sumire**
Kiyo sees me off like this every day.
**[20:01] Kiyo**
Now, time to prepare
for the next round.
**[20:07] Sumire**
Me, too.
**[20:11] Sumire**
I’m giving it my all again
from tomorrow.

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!
