EPISODE 9 - OTOKO UME SOUR A girl from work brought these for everyone to snack on.

Come to think of it, there was one of those old-time snack shops close to our hometown.

Old-Time Snacks & Drink Shop

It was kind of small, but it was STACKED with all kinds of snacks.

It's fun choosing something from out of all that, right?

He's not here either, huh?

Huh?

Personally, I think it's the supermarket snack corner that's made the biggest impression on me...

Chocolates Snack Foods Individually Packaged Snacks

Cabbage

C'mon Makoto, let's get this.

No way. I want THAT one!

All right, you two...

Hurry up and CHOOSE.

Mom would stay mad till we finally chose something, huh?

So, that's why you gotta have some too, Michiru!

Umaibo

I-I respectfully decline!

How come?

I have to shed these winter pounds, so...

Come on, thighs!

I swear... Come on, thighs!

you always buy into whatever the magazines say...

I haven't made it to the gym recently, but I have to at least get some of my body back!

Hup! Leg... lifts!

Whaaat?

Um, what's next?

This will loosen up my back!

Umaibo

Voila.

Fine, but just one!

There's a good girl...

Huh?

Well, here you go.

Why'd you crush it?!

Why wouldn't you want to eat it in all its tubular glory?

Trust me. Just open it.

Umaibo

Whoa!

It split into four perfect pieces!

Now you can eat it without dirtying the sides of your mouth.

After all, one's mouth is rather dainty

Such feminine attention to detail!

Like THIS?

In cases like these...

What happened to femininity?!

These have a pretty strong flavor, don't they?

It makes you want more, and just gobble them up!

And so! That's why, about an hour ago, I thought... these could go great with booze!

That's sort of random.

And if you're pairing with junky snacks, then a snacky kind of booze would be best.

A snacky kind of booze... A booze that is a snack...

And this booze right here has replicated the very ESSENCE of snacks!

What?!

Behold!

"Otoko Ume Sour"!

This drink perfectly recreates that "Manly Pickled Plum" candy!

OTOKO UME

SOUR WITH THE JUICE OF RIPE PICKLED PLUMS SOUR AND DELICIOUS

The one that has the plum with those huge muscles?

OTOKO UME SOUR

Note: "Manly Pickled Plum" is an actual candy that does indeed have a jacked-up plum as its mascot. Yup. And they made it into a sour cocktail!

OTOKO UME SOUR

In any case, this snack will make you beeline for the booze.

And then...!
