    Chapter 10
     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!
[05:42] ---
    Fried Chicken
    (Double-fried to a crisp.
    Serve with mayonnaise,
    a midnight bewitchment.)
[05:44] Sumire
    Fried chicken!
[05:48] Sumire
    May I?
[05:50] Kiyo
    Please.
[06:00] Sumire
    Craving the same food at the same time.
[06:05] Sumire
    Like a family.
[06:07] Kiyo
    Watching you is making me
    want some again.

    Dish of the Day
[06:35] Sumire
    Fried chicken.
[06:37] Kiyo
    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!
[10:00] ---
    Cookies
    (Simple, without chocolate or nuts.)
[10:07] Kiyo
    Great!
[10:11] ---
    Snacking Treats
    Welcome home!
[10:17] Mother
    Kiyo?
[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] ---
    Snacking Treats
    Welcome home!
[14:49] ---
    Snacking Treats
    Welcome home!
[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!
[16:46] Maiko F/Kiyo
    Fresh tea!
[16:48] Maiko F/Kiyo
    Yes!
[16:49] Helper/Kiyo
    Kitchen cloth!
[16:50] Helper/Kiyo
    Yes!
[16:51] Sister B/Kiyo
    Chopsticks and spoons!
[16:52] Sister B/Kiyo
    Yes!
[16:53] Maiko F/Kiyo
    I need a chair!
[16:53] Maiko F/Kiyo
    Yes!
[16:54] Helper/Kiyo
    Straws!
[16:54] Helper/Kiyo
    Yes! Yes!

    Azuki beans
[17:23] ---
    Rice flour
[17:49] Sumire
    Kiyo?
[17:50] Sumire
    What are you doing?
[17:52] 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.
[20:06] ---
    Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House

[20:17] Kiyo
    And Kiyo’s
[20:18] ---
    Dish of the Day
[20:19] ---
    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!
[24:46] Kiyo & Sumire

[24:49] Kiyo & Sumire
    Tune in again next time!
