[07:55] Grandpa Shibusawa     Are you boys athletes? [07:58] Tatsuru     Normally we work in sales     for a beverage manufacturer, [08:01] Tatsuru     but we're also on our company's     corporate badminton team.

Eat as much as you'd like. [09:35] Both     We will, thank you. [09:39] Mikoto     It's good. [09:41] Tatsuru     Fukaya green onions have a sweetness     other green onions don't. [09:45] Grandpa Shibusawa     These are summer onions.     Winter onions are even sweeter. [09:49] Grandpa Shibusawa     They have as much sugar content     as melons or tangerines. [09:52] Tatsuru     Really? That's practically a fruit. [09:56] Haruki     Green onions again? I want a Hamburg steak. [09:59] Mother     Now, don't be self-centered. [10:03] Grandma Shibusawa     That's just how young kids are. [10:05] Grandma Shibusawa     It's not meat, but try some of this. [10:12] Haruki     It's good! [10:14] Tatsuru     Green onion and apple salad? [10:17] Grandma Shibusawa     They go surprisingly well together. [10:19] Grandma Shibusawa     They say apples remove the     strong smell of the onions. [10:24] Grandpa Shibusawa     That smell is part of     what makes onions great. [10:26] Grandma Shibusawa     Yes, yes. [10:30] Tatsuru     Thank you. [10:32] Grandma Shibusawa     You ate so much, it was     worth making all that food. [10:35] Grandma Shibusawa     You certainly have the appetites of athletes. [10:37] Tatsuru     This guy's stomach is beyond athlete level. [10:43] Grandma Shibusawa     Make yourselves at home until     we're ready to send you off. [10:49] Tatsuru     Thank you for everything. [10:54] Tatsuru     Nice.
