Mondai no Aru Restaurant (問題のあるレストラン)

Thank you.

Thank you.

My late father's restaurant is now a coffee shop (kissaten)

called Kissa 10, and a relative's running it.

I was thinking about studying to be a librarian

while working part-time at the shop until 5:00.

As soon as he came in the shop, he said...

Excuse me. Is there a library around here?

That's where I was heading in 15 minutes.

He worked for a travel agency in Tokyo, and

he was there to check out the area for a tour they were planning when the Hokuriku Shinkansen opened.

The first and second time, he stopped by because he was there for business,

and from the third time on, he came to see me.

In this short period of time, Takamura-kun

already made 32 round trips between his home in Tokyo and Kissa 10.

I heard that you two are such close friends she can tell you anything.

- I can tell them, right? - You don't have to tell them.

- What? What? - I'm telling.

- I said don't. - You can tell us anything.

- I asked her to marry me. - Oh, jeez.

She hasn't given me her answer yet, though.

Why did you tell them?

Jeez. What?

Hey, Tanaka.

I'm going then.

I'll call you later.

She's the one who first made that pot-au-few, huh?

That aside, her boyfriend.

Among all the guys I've seen in the past 5 years, he's the coolest.

Why are you showing your ear? He's taken.

Be well prepared and have no worries, they say.

Although it's too bad if you're prepared but nothing happens.

I'm one of those great talents that bloom late. When it comes to romance, I'm the Cezanne type.

The type that gets recognized posthumously.

- Van Gogh. - What happens to a woman

- who becomes popular with men after death? - Anyway, you stay out of this.

Fujimura-san looked happy, didn't she?

I know.

I'm sorry, but lunch is over.

But if you just want a drink...

- Kyohei! - Oh, Nii-chan (older brother).

Congratulations on your marriage.

Why aren't you attending?

- That's because... - Both Aunt and Uncle were hiding it from me.

- That's why. - You'd better attend.

Mom? Where are you? A lot? You got caught in it?

- You're getting swept away? - Isn't she on Takeshita Street?

Takeshita Street? Okay, wait for me there.

Don't move, you hear? I said don't.

No, you can't.

She hung up.

I'll go get her.

Sorry.

Your mom hasn't changed?

We've been staying at Takamura-kun's place since yesterday, but.

3 minutes after we arrived, she was already cleaning the bathroom.

I haven't even given him my answer yet,

but she keeps bugging me when we're having the wedding.

Takamura-san's a nice guy.

But I just started moving forward to get a certification.

Oh, yeah?

Satsukigase, brings back memories.

I haven't told him about that.

The reason I quit my job.

I don't want him to know.

Does that have anything to do with

why you haven't given your answer to his proposal?

There's no other reason.

There are times I think we'd be better off breaking up.

In fact,

that's what I thought just yesterday.

I'll be celebrating with you in my heart.

Then we'll have the second party here.

Only my friends will be at the second party.

You already have a place reserved for the second party, don't you?

I'll change that to the third round.

And you're going to change the third to the fourth round? What about the fourth and the fifth rounds?

You and I are the only family related by blood anymore.

I couldn't tell my parents until the end

that I was gay.

I was told of my mother's death in Paris.

When I went home for the funeral wearing a skirt,

my relatives wouldn't let me in.

Then in front of all the relatives, my brother said,

"You guys are boring. You're boring, that's why

you don't like Nii-chan cuz he's interesting."

"Well, that's too bad. I prefer interesting people

so I like Nii-chan." Interesting brother, isn't he?

For my brother,

I want to make the best wedding cake.

- Please lend me your hand. - All right. Let's do it.

This time, you can ignore the cost rate.

I feel like I can celebrate someone's wedding for the first time in my life.

Someone!

Hey, someone!

Why doesn't this place have an elevator?

- I'm sorry. - Take this.

You're okay. It's just static electricity.

Here, here. Carry these.

People in Tokyo are really cold.

Here I am, lost on the street,

but even dogs try to avert their eyes.

Mom.

Oba-chan!

Chief Tsuchida will no longer be in charge of this restaurant.

Someone else will be coming from next week,

so please be prepared.

- Ow, ow, ow, ow! That really hurt! - I told you to separate egg yolk and egg white.

Oh, that's what you meant.

Ow, ow, ow, ow. Seriously, that hurts.

- Just do it. - Ow.

Sawamura-san, Matsuki-san.

I just made this, but would you mind tasting it?

It's great.

Isn't it a bit too tart?

What do you think about adding walnut oil?

That's a good idea. Please give it a try.

Hoshino.

You make the salad for lunch starting tomorrow.

- Who, me? - Can you do it?

- Yes. - Let's pull together and work hard, huh?

Hey, you have skillful hands.

Why don't you come be my third son's bride?

Anyway, let's take a picture. Okay?

- Picture? - I'm sending it to my son.

- I don't like to have my picture... - Hey, you there.

- Here, push this button. - No, no, no, no.....

Just a minute. You...

- look just like my son's first love. - No, I don't.

Come to my house. I'll let you wear a pretty Kaga Yuzen kimono.

- Phew, lucky. - I don't want to.

- Fukui's a nice place. - Yes, it's a nice place.

- I like living in Tokyo. - Fukui is where, you know.

You've heard of the famous 3 Michibata sisters, right?

Let's see, Karen, Angelica, Jessica, they're all from Fukui Prefecture.

And there's also Uno Jukichi (actor). Come on over.

- Go ahead and go. - No, never.

- Anyway, let's take a picture. - I'll take it.

- No, never. No. - Ready?

No. Knock it off!

- Sorry. - That's okay.

- Seriously, this is a lovely restaurant. - Thank you.

I wish I could work here too.

Someone who's about to get married

- shouldn't be saying things like that. - Mom.

If you drink too much,

you're gonna make friends again on the train on the way home.

- I'm going to spend the night here. May I? - Sure.

- Why? - Because...

you two have lots to talk about, right? You do, don't you?

- Of course you do, right? - Yes.

Let's eat.

- Sorry about that. - Huh?

For dropping in and leaving suddenly the other day.

Oh, not a problem at all.

- It was good. - Huh? Did you say it was good?

I have confidence in my skills, and my ingredients are better.

But I lost when it came to how much you love food.

- It was good, and I was mad at myself. - Oh, I see.

But I'm not gonna stay beaten. I gonna rebuild it for sure.

You're going to rebuild it?

We're losing now. But the one who keeps moving forward

in spite of losing will be the winner in the end.

- We'll be moving forward too. - The second round is just beginning.

Yes.

I don't see how you can run a restaurant there when you get cold so easily.

I don't see how you can be a chef when you can't eat food when it's hot.

I'm home.

Why do you have so many different kinds of shampoo?

Oh, I guess we all have different preferences.

Having the same smelling head is what makes a family.

Sensei, please look it over.

- No good. It's still clouded. - Sensei.

Do everything all over.

- Okay. - Here, Tama-chan. You too.

Here, put in lots of shredded seaweed.

It's delicious!

What time is the restaurant opening tomorrow?

- The restaurant's closed tomorrow. - Oh, really?

- Yes. - Oh, really?

Do you want to try it too?

Mine's done.

- "The Scream." - Legs taken at purikura (photo booth).

This is No More Movie Thief (anti-piracy mascot).

The best thing would be for Tama-chan to be our daughter.

You can't just keep on working forever, can you?

I want to just keep on working forever.

Satsuki used to say the same thing.

Is that right?

I was against it, you know.

When she said she wanted to work in Tokyo.

I should have opposed her more. Much, much more.

-Oh, it's gonna burn. - We're home.

Satsuki, I didn't know you were coming.

- That looks delicious. - It's yummy.

Restroom Restroom.

Can I spend the night here too?

- Yeah, sure. - What are you talking about?

- What about Takamura-san? - It's okay.

- Did you have a fight or something? - No, we didn't.
