    Chapter 25 Something Warm for Lunch
[01:44] Kiyo
    So cold today.
[01:47] Mother
    I'm home.
[01:49] Kiyo
    Mother, welcome home.
[01:52] Mother
    Brr, it's started snowing.
[01:55] Kiyo
    No wonder it's so cold.
[01:58] Mother
    Oh! Kiyo, we received this.
[02:02] Kiyo
    Wow, it must be premium beef!
[02:06] Mother
    It’s for everyone here
    from our neighbor Sister.
[02:10] Kiyo
    I'll use it for lunch.
[02:13] Kiyo
    Simmered tofu?
[02:15] Kiyo
    Hashed beef on rice?
[02:17] Kiyo
    So many dishes I could make...
[02:21] Kiyo
    Or pepper steak...
    What to do!
[02:26] Mother
    Isn't it cold in the house?
[02:30] Maiko A
    We're home.
[02:32] Tsurukoma
    Hi.
[02:35] Kiyo
    Beef bowls are good, too.
[02:37] Narr
    Lunch is the main meal
    at Maiko House.
[02:43] Narr
    Each girl has her own schedule for daytime
    practices and nighttime entertaining,
[02:49] Narr
    so lunch is the best time
    for everyone to eat together.
[02:53] Kiyo
    Hm...
[02:55] Tsurukoma
    Doesn't it feel cold?
[02:56] Maiko A
    Yeah, it’s as cold in here as outside.
[03:00] Kiyo
    Simmer with tofu?
[03:02] Kiyo
    Hashed beef?
[03:04] Kiyo
    Green pepper stir-fry?
[03:09] Kiyo
    Stewed meat and potato!
[03:12] Tsurukoma
    Huh?
[03:16] Tsurukoma
    What’s going on!?
[03:19] Tsurukoma
    The air and table heaters won't turn on!
[03:22] Maiko B
    Ours, too.
[03:24] Maiko C
    And ours!
[03:26] Maiko C
    Even the parlor and dining room!
[03:28] Maiko D
    And the TV.
[03:29] Maiko B
    The overhead lights.
[03:31] Maiko A
    No lights in the bathroom.
[03:32] Maiko B
    Nothing works.
[03:35] Tsurukoma
    Which means...
[03:39] Mother
    It's a blackout.
[03:49] Mother
    The only kerosene heater that can
    warm us up is in the dining room.
[03:54] Mother
    Everyone dress for the cold
    and gather in there.
[04:08] Maiko D
    I feel so pitiful.
[04:12] Maiko E
    We're so unfashionable.
[04:14] Tsurukoma
    It’s just too cold.
[04:20] Maiko F
    Even Mother looks ridiculous.
[04:23] Tsurukoma
    Our hearts are being chilled
    to the core.
[04:27] Kiyo
    Hey, slide the door open!
[04:30] Maiko G
    It's Kiyo.
    Where has she been?
[04:35] Kiyo
    Thanks for waiting.
[04:39] Kiyo
    Everyone, it's lunchtime.
[04:45] Maiko
    Put those there.
[04:46] Maiko
    Vegetables here.
[04:47] Maiko
    Thanks.
[04:48] Maiko
    Careful.
SIGN    Shabu-shabu
    Cook exceptionally tasty beef in hot dashi broth.
    Enjoy with sauce of your choice.
[05:12] Maiko All
    So warm!
[05:22] Maiko F
    Oh, the air heater's on.
[05:24] Maiko I
    Vegetables, please.
[05:26] Maiko C
    Here you go.
[05:27] Maiko I
    Some meat?
[05:28] Maiko J
    Thanks.
[05:30] Maiko J
    Is there more meat?
[05:32] Kiyo
    Sure.
[05:33] Tsurukoma
    Oh, this is the best.

    Dish of the Day
[05:55] Kiyo
    I used the fine beef we received
    to make shabu-shabu for lunch today.
[06:01] Tsurukoma
    You can't beat hot pot on cold days.
[06:04] Sumire
    I love shabu-shabu, too.
[06:08] Tsurukoma
    Shabu-shabu and sukiyaki are
    the two most popular beef hot pots.
[06:14] Tsurukoma
    Home-cooked hot pot classics.
[06:16] Sumire
    Eating shabu-shabu at a restaurant
    is great, too.
[06:20] Tsurukoma
    Restaurant shabu-shabu!?
[06:22] Tsurukoma
    The affordable all-you-can-eat kind!
[06:26] Tsurukoma
    Shabu-shabu meat is so thinly sliced,
    it cooks right away.
[06:31] Tsurukoma
    No waiting time, so you can eat
    endlessly without feeling full.
[06:38] Tsurukoma
    Perfect for all-you-can-eat,
    but only order meat.
[06:43] Tsurukoma
    Extras like mushrooms and noodles
    are for amateurs.
[06:49] Tsurukoma
    First move, order five wagyu chuck eye.
[06:53] Tsurukoma
    Skip the juice or you'll miss
    the shabu-shabu train!
[06:57] Sumire
    We’ve lost Tsurukoma Sister
    to the shabu-shabu universe.
[07:02] Kiyo
    Prepare thinly sliced meat,
    dashi broth, sauce and vegetables.
[07:09] Kiyo
    Then everyone cooks and eats
    the ingredients themselves.
[07:14] Kiyo
    Shabu-shabu is great because
    it's quick and easy to make.
[07:18] Kiyo
    Busy maiko can count on shabu-shabu.
[07:21] Sumire
    Where does the name come from?
[07:25] Kiyo
    The sound of the meat swishing around
    in hot water?
[07:29] Sumire
    That's the popular belief,
    but there’s another reason.
[07:33] Sumire
    Let me see...
[07:35] Sumire
    "A restaurant owner came up with
    a new beef hot pot dish in the 1950s."
[07:43] Sumire
    "He was trying to name it…"
[07:46] Sumire
    "and saw an employee
    rinsing hand towels."
[07:47] ---
    splish splash
[07:51] Sumire
    "The splashing sound inspired the name."
[07:52] ---
    shabu shabu
[07:55] Tsurukoma
    Towel washing sound! Interesting.
[08:00] Kiyo
    You're back.
[08:01] Tsurukoma
    Even the name shabu-shabu sounds tasty.
[08:06] Tsurukoma
    Oh, I want some.
[08:08] Kiyo
    You just had some.
[08:10] Tsurukoma
    I could have it every day.
[08:13] Tsurukoma
    Not just in cold winter,
    but with cherry blossoms in spring.
[08:17] Tsurukoma
    Hot, sweaty summer nights
    and long autumn nights.
[08:20] Tsurukoma
    I want shabu-shabu all day long,
    all year long.
[08:24] Kiyo
    Not a very balanced diet.
[08:27] Sumire
    We mustn't let that happen
    to Tsurukoma Sister!
[08:32] Sumire
    Let's have meatless shabu-shabu
    for her sake.
[08:36] Tsurukoma
    Momohana, that's plain hot water!

[08:58] Kiyo
    Thank you, Doctor.
[09:04] Kiyo
    Big Brother, I saw the doctor off.
[09:08] Big Brother
    Thanks.
[09:09] Kiyo
    How is Mother?
[09:11] Big Brother
    Doctor says it’s fatigue.
[09:14] Big Brother
    She hasn't had time to rest
    since New Year's.
[09:20] Big Brother
    She'll recover in no time
    with some warm udon noodles and rest.
[09:26] Kiyo
    Udon?
[09:28] Kiyo
    I'd make warm...
[09:31] Big Brother
    Noodles.
[09:33] Big Brother
    Not rice porridge.
[09:35] Big Brother
    I don't know about your hometown.
[09:38] Big Brother
    When we're sick we want udon noodles.
[09:43] Mother
    Big Brother...
[09:47] Mother
    It won't do...
[09:49] Mother
    Big Brother...
[09:52] Mother
    Kiyo's udon soup is dark!
[09:57] Mother
    Kyoto-style udon! Hooray!
[10:01] Mother
    Not like this!
[10:04] Big Brother
    That won't do at all.
[10:08] Big Brother
    Absolutely not.
[10:11] Big Brother
    Mother, I hate to say it,
    but the udon...
[10:15] Mother
    I'll give up on it.
[10:28] Kiyo
    Hello, Auntie?
[10:30] Kiyo
    Yes.
[10:32] Kiyo
    Can you teach me something?
[10:35] Kiyo
    What’s Kyoto-style udon?
[10:37] Cooking Auntie
    What do you mean?
[10:41] Cooking Auntie
    It's udon.
[10:43] Cooking Auntie
    Welsh onions and thin fried tofu
    in clear soup.
[10:47] Kiyo
    Oh.
[10:49] Cooking Auntie
    Sure, I'll tell you how.

[11:17] Police Officer
    Hm? Kiyo?
[11:19] Kiyo
    Officer!
[11:21] Police Officer
    Welsh onions for udon?
[11:23] Police Officer
    Why not go to the vegetable shop?
[11:26] Kiyo
    Vegetable shop?
[11:27] Police Officer
    People here shop there as well as
    the supermarket.
[11:32] Police Officer
    Especially for things like Welsh onions
    because they're fresher.
[11:37] Police Officer
    Over here.
[11:38] Police Officer
    Make some good udon!
[11:41] Kiyo
    Yes!
[11:41] Vegetable Shopkeeper
    Here, Welsh onions.
[11:44] Kiyo
    They have snacks and eggs, too.
[11:48] Vegetable Shopkeeper
    Noodles? Light-colored soy sauce?
[11:51] Kiyo
    Please!
[11:53] Vegetable Shopkeeper
    You'll also need thin fried tofu
    for udon.
[11:57] Vegetable Shopkeeper
    Try that tofu shop.
[12:00] Vegetable Shopkeeper
    Hope it turns out well!
[12:02] Kiyo
    Thank you!
[12:08] Tofu Shopkeeper
    Thin fried tofu?
[12:10] Tofu Shopkeeper
    You got it.
[12:11] Tofu Shopkeeper
    For udon?
[12:13] Tofu Shopkeeper
    Simmer it sweetly.
[12:16] Tofu Shopkeeper
    Use light-colored soy sauce
    and dashi broth.
[12:21] Tofu Shopkeeper
    Hope it’s tasty!
[12:22] Kiyo
    Thank you!

    Dish of the Day
[13:26] Kiyo
    I tried making Kyoto-style udon noodles
    for your cold.
[13:32] Kiyo
    It was my first attempt,
    but was it okay?
[13:37] Mother
    Clear, golden broth...
[13:40] Mother
    Sweetened thin fried tofu…
[13:42] Mother
    Bright green chopped onions...
[13:45] Mother
    It reached every part of
    my cold-weary body.
[13:48] Kiyo
    Oh!
[13:49] Mother
    It was very good,
    especially for your first time.
[13:53] Kiyo
    I'm relieved to hear you say that!
[13:58] Mother
    The clear soup is particularly tasty.
[14:01] Mother
    I was expecting it to be dark
    since you made it.
[14:06] Mother
    In eastern Japan where you're from,
    udon soup is dark with soy sauce flavor.
[14:12] Mother
    Here, it's light and
    flavored with konbu kelp.
[14:15] Mother
    Did someone teach you the Kyoto-style?
[14:19] Kiyo
    I asked Cooking Auntie.
[14:22] Kiyo
    The vegetable and tofu shops, too.
[14:25] Mother
    It's a collaboration between you
    and the people of Kyoto.
[14:28] Mother
    It was bound to be delicious
    with everyone thinking of me.
[14:33] Kiyo
    Mother?
[14:34] Mother
    I'm not crying!
    Soup splashed in my eyes.
[14:38] Mother
    Did you know that there are
    two kinds of kitsune udon in Kyoto?
[14:44] Kiyo
    Two?
[14:46] Mother
    "Ama-kitsune and kizami-kitsune
    both have thin fried tofu."
[14:53] Kiyo
    Mm hm.
[14:54] Mother
    "Ama-kitsune is topped with a sweetened
    square thin fried tofu."
[15:00] Kiyo
    Isn't that the typical kitsune udon?
[15:03] Mother
    "Kizami-kitsune is topped with
    unsweetened sliced thin fried tofu."
[15:10] Kiyo
    Is that because thin slices
    absorb the soup better?
[15:14] Mother
    Yes, but also...
[15:16] Mother
    some people in Kyoto
    can't eat them whole.
[15:20] Kiyo
    Can't eat it whole?
[15:22] Kiyo
    Oh, like maiko!?
[15:24] Mother & Sumire
    Correct!
[15:26] Mother
    It says here…
[15:27] Mother
    "A maiko’s lipstick will come off
    if she opens her mouth widely."
[15:33] Mother
    "So, kizami-kitsune was made
    to enjoy with small bites."
[15:37] Sumire
    What a thoughtful, lovely story
    of people from Kyoto.
[15:41] Mother
    Yes, udon made out of
    thoughtfulness is delicious.
[15:48] Mother
    Like Kiyo did for me...
[15:51] Kiyo & Sumire
    Mother?
[15:52] Mother
    Not crying!

[16:41] Maiko K/Maiko L
    Yeah.
[16:42] Maiko K
    That's not the way home.
[16:45] Maiko L
    Probably making rounds.
[16:46] Maiko L
    How earnest, spending her free time
    visiting teahouses.
[16:51] Maiko K
    Geniuses put in effort
    when no one is watching.
[16:56] Maiko L
    No sweets for me then!
[16:59] Maiko K
    Great effort, Sister!
[17:03] Narr
    Maiko go around visiting teahouses

[17:13] Sumire
    I'm free starting at eight tonight
    and would love to entertain here.
[17:19] Sumire
    Thank you!
[17:22] Narr
    Making rounds can help
    a maiko’s name
[17:26] Narr
    be recognized by the
    teahouse mistresses.
[17:29] Narr
    The visits are also a way for the maiko
    to ask for more chances
[17:33] Narr
    to entertain at their teahouses.
[17:39] Sumire
    Hello, it's Momohana.
[17:41] Housekeeper
    Oh, Momohana. Mother's out now.
[17:46] Sumire
    I see. Then...

[18:03] Sumire
    Please give this to her.
[18:06] Housekeeper
    Alright, I'll do that.
[18:16] Sumire

[18:19] Housekeeper
    Mother found her on the street.

[19:19] Teahouse Mistress
    Your last one made me so happy,
    I have it here.

    Dish of the Day
[20:47] Kiyo
    Crispy outside and moist inside,
    old-fashioned doughnuts.
[20:53] Tsurukoma
    Prominent in the world of doughnuts
    and a classic snack.
[20:57] Tsurukoma
    I love biting into the nicely fried,
    crispy outer layer.
[21:02] Sumire
    Plain is good too, but you can
    top it with chocolate or maple syrup.
[21:07] Sumire
    Coating it in sugar or cinnamon sugar
    is tasty, too.
[21:11] Kiyo
    It's a simple mixture of ingredients
    that's deep-fried.
[21:17] Kiyo
    They're easy to make,
    so a perfect homemade snack.
[21:22] Sumire
    But you need to cut out
    the dough into rings.
[21:28] Sumire
    What if you don’t have
    a doughnut-shaped cutter?
[21:33] Kiyo
    You can use a large cup and bottle cap.
[21:39] Kiyo
    Just the right size.
[21:42] Kiyo
    Or roll out the dough into a ring
    for no mess.
[21:48] Tsurukoma
    That sounds simple,
    and no need for a dough cutter.
[21:52] Kiyo
    It is fun to use them.
[21:55] Kiyo
    Cutting out doughnuts is
    a moment of happiness for me.
[22:00] Sumire
    Kiyo, you're drooling...
[22:02] Tsurukoma
    My moment of happiness is
    when I have a mouthful of doughnut.
[22:08] Sumire
    Sister, your mouth...
[22:09] Tsurukoma
    I've always wondered why doughnuts
    have holes.
[22:15] Tsurukoma
    Is there a meaning behind the shape?
[22:19] Sumire
    "One of the many theories is..."
[22:21] Sumire
    "An American sailor got angry that
    his mother made undercooked doughnuts."
[22:27] Sumire
    "He told her to cut out a hole
    in the center so they'll cook through."
[22:32] Sumire
    "And that became the standard
    doughnut shape."
[22:37] Sumire
    "There is actually a monument
    in Rockport, Maine."
[22:41] Sumire
    "It commemorates this great achievement
    of making doughnuts with holes."
[22:46] Tsurukoma
    Americans must really like doughnuts.
[22:51] Kiyo
    Just like you, Tsurukoma Sister.
[22:55] Tsurukoma
    I live for doughnuts
    as much as Americans do!
[23:00] Tsurukoma
    I would stuff myself every day
    if Japan had as many doughnut shops.
[23:05] Sumire
    That's true love.
