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!
**[17:10] ---**
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] ---**

Dish of the Day

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!

**[24:49] Kiyo & Sumire**
