Mondai no Aru Restaurant (問題のあるレストラン)

When I first met him, the 4 characters for marriage (結婚 kekkon) came to my mind.

The 4 characters were in hiragana (けっこん), right?

So, during your 10 years of marriage, your husband's mother was living with you?

Yes.

She was a wonderful mother.

She devoted her life to support her late husband.

I really admired her.

- And you were caring for her? - Yes.

She fell ill immediately after we got married. So ever since.

What is this accident that's written on this petition for dissolution of marriage?

That was 3 years ago.

Your mother-in-law took a fall in the bathroom and injured her back.

At that time, you were dozing off.

Yes.

You son caused trouble on the train?

Yes.

Hiromu started crying on the train.

And when this man raised his umbrella like this to scold him,

he ended up hitting someone else.

I'm sorry.

It's because I didn't have my act together.

And in October of last year,

- your husband told you he wanted a divorce? - Yes.

Uh...

- This may be irrelevant, but... - Yes?

Last year? Or was that end of the year before last?

I saw my husband going into a hotel with a girl.

Was it last year or the year before last?

- You've got to get the facts straight. - I'm sorry.

- Did you talk to your husband about that? - No.

Because I might have been mistaken.

I'm sorry.

Good bye.

What? Is that all? Usually, there's more, isn't there?

- Please. - The class fee will be 10,000 yen.

Thank you.

Food Service Sanitation Manager Handbook

I'd like to talk about the three rules of food handling.

Rule No. 1,

hygiene.

2, speed.

3, heat or refrigeration.

Kyoko.

- Hi. - Hi.

Shopping?

If you'd like, why don't you stop by?

Some people you met the other day, like Haiji-san, are there too.

We started living together today. Below that rooftop.

- Kyoko, I wish you'd reconsider. - Oh, there's no way.

I'm totally inept at things like that.

- And I know nothing about the real world. - That's not so.

- You're... - I don't really like

being told "That's not so" by someone in a higher position than me.

From the perspective of a person who's been working all this time, a housewife is, you know. Right?

- Me? - See you.

Okay. See you.

Hi.

Tada~.

It's that thing, right? You know, that thing. That's on the wall.

- I'm a Food Service Sanitation Manager. - Wow!

It's starting to feel real now, isn't it?

Pastry chef, service,

and chef.

Although there's only three of us.

Shall we begin?

This way please.

Sit down, sit down.

You'd better hurry up and go make up with your girlfriend.

See you.

The check. Take it with you.

- Mamma mia. - Grazie.

Apart from Mofuku*-chan, the Todai graduate,

I thought you'd participate in Tanaka Tamako's restaurant venture.

The food that I make are basically defective.

Bad, huh?

It's beyond bad.

They're food that are on the other side of bad.

That actually makes me want to try it.

It's so bad you're going to forget about all the delicious food you ate since you were born.

It's bad enough to make America cry coast-to-coast.

- Did someone tell you that? - Is it good?

- Yeah. - You know,

I've been a full-time housewife for 10 years

and I've never had a job.

If someone like me goes out into the world, the Japanese economy will get even worse

and I might even cause a debt crisis.

The bottom line is, I'm a defective product.

Did someone tell you that?

Why aren't you participating, Karasumori-san?

The pot-au-feu that Paaka*-chan made was good, wasn't it?

Oh, that.

You can't serve that for 290 yen, right?

Would young people in this country nowadays pay 800 yen for a pot-au-feu?

Things are only getting worse out there.

Working diligently won't get you anywhere.

Hey, do you want to strive to be a photographer with me?

All you have to do is point at big boobs in a swimsuit and push the button.

- Is it good? - Yes.

Of course it's good, huh?

Mom can never make something like this.

How much of the budget do we have left?

Subtracting the amount I paid for the lease contract,

2,586,000 and 3 yen.

- Will that be enough? - It's going to be tight.

We can do the interior carpentry and painting ourselves, but

we'll have to hire someone to do the pipefitting.

Going to bed? Good night.

Do you wear your hoodie to bed too?

She locked the door.

What is her problem? I sense this deep darkness in her.

And, she has zero motivation to help us out.

Well, she did say she wanted to focus on cooking.

I'm sure she's thinking about the menu right now.

She's been reading manga all this time.

But she's already on Volume 13.

- I'm sure she'll get going once she's done with it. - Tama-chan.

Just because it's "Golgo 13" doesn't mean it ends at 13 volumes, you know.

"Golgo 13" has 175 volumes in all.

I admit that her pot-au-feu was delicious, but

I still can't understand why you chose a girl like her to be the chef.

I'll go buy some beer. I'd like to have one myself.

- Make it low-cal please. - Okay.

At any rate, it's impossible for just the three of us to run a restaurant that size.

- We need two or three more people. - Yes, you're right.

Hiromu.

- What are you making? - A house.

Shall we make your room?

- Let's make a chair. - Chair?

Okay, let's make a chair.

Is this okay here?

What the hell! You're old!

Yo.

- G-g...good evening. - What?

- Are you here to see me? - No.

Right now, I'm...

Uh...

You were watching, weren't you? What just happened.

"What the hell! You're old!"

If you'll excuse me.

Are you mad about something? Hey. Hey!

We'll definitely need a car to transport materials and furniture, won't we?

But we can't afford to rent a car.

Hm? Yes?

What?

I can borrow one.

It's an ita-sha*, though.

Ita-sha?

Like a Ferrari?

Thank you.

- At least we can haul a lot of stuff in it. - Yes, I guess so.

Cute.

Oh, that was Tanaka-san.

Is that character's name Tanaka-san?

Tanaka.

What're you doing?

- Getting the restaurant ready. - Restaurant?

What kind?

Oh, is it something like a maid cafe?

What? Tanaka-san's gonna wear that frilly apron?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

"Welcome home, Master."

- That one? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Get real. - Actually, I heard that

- with places like that, customers like low quality. - Hoshino-kun.

Don't be rude.

Right? That's rude, isn't it?

It's not low, is it?

- Tell me. What kind of restaurant? - Tama-chan.

Bad news. It's starting to rain.

Could it be this type of place?

It's a gay bar, right? Right? It's a gay bar, right?

You're going to run a gay bar on this rooftop?

That's a novel idea. It's that, you know.

Like, "Welcome." "Cheers, Mr. Happy!" kind of thing, isn't it?

This is Omotesando, you know. What a novel idea.

- It's a novel idea. - Chief, you'd better hide your butt.

- Right? Right? - Be quiet. Never mind.

But you know, Chief, I've never been to a place with transsexuals...

I'm not a transsexual.

- I'm a gay guy who likes to cross-dress. - Huh? What's the difference?

So it's not a matter of having it or not...

You don't need to talk to him.

- Where's the restaurant. - On the rooftop.

Hey, why are you blocking the way? Come on, let us see it.

Is something the matter?

Tanaka-san's opening a restaurant up there.

What kind of restaurant is it going to be?

- It's a bistro. - Bistro?

She said bistro.

- Why? - I...I don't know what to say.

Our restaurant's right there, you know.

Excuse me.

I'd like to bring up some stuff.

- Can you please step back? - Ah, sure.

Sure.

Okay, then. I wish you luck. I'll be rooting for you.

Let's give this area a boost together.

Amicably.

Do you mind stepping back?

Scary, scary. It's creepy.
