EPISODE 1 - YEBISU BEER

So this is Tokyo Station!

It's just like on TV!

My goodness, look at all these people.

Okay, so I just need to change trains at...

Track Numbers Track Numbers Track Numbers Track Numbers

I better make sure I don't take the wrong train.

Huh?

Th-theif!

How dare you lay your hands on someone else's things?

Here. Are you all right?

Oh, thank you so much.

She's so pretty...

She's got that refined metropolitan look to her.

So cool and beautiful and...

You be careful, okay?

Thank you so, so much!

Buh-bye now.

I guess there are nice people in Tokyo after all.

Dad, Mom, I think I'm going to be quite all right here!

Thank you for riding with...

Where am I...?

Dad, Mom, I don't think I'm going to be all right at all here...

Phew I made it!

Good thing I took the earlier shinkansen.

If I had shown up late...

You good for nothing country bumpkin!

Aaaah! A demonic Tokyoite! You good for nothing country bumpkin!

Aaaah! A demonic Tokyoite!

Sorry for the wait.

Aack! I'm sorry! I'm sorry I ever set foot in Tokyo!

Did I make you wait long?

Huh...?

You must be Michiru Amatsuki.

Y-yeah.

I'm Kae Midorikawa. I'm here to pick you up!

I'm Amatsuki! Nice to meet you!

S-so... THIS is what Tokyoites are like...

Shall we get going then?

Okay!

I-I've got my work cut out for me...!

Wow!

This is Stella House Haruno.

So this is my new home!

It's a share house just for women.

There are three of us living her including myself.

You're our fourth, Michiru-chan.

Yikes, I'm all nervous all of a sudden.

Pardon me then...

From here on this is your house too, so no need to be shy.

Oh, right...

I'm... home, then.

Welcome home!

Th-this is all too much!

Nao-chan, our new roommate is here!

Now, now, sit up straight you.

I'm Nao Kiriyama.

Good to meetcha...

Sorry about that Michiru-chan.

She's been drinking since noon since she has the day off today.

New roommate?

We should celebrate!

Welcome to Stella House! We've been looking forward to this!

Now to celebrate! By cracking open a Yebisu beer!

Sheesh, you're really going to keep drinking?

Well, duh!

We're talking about Yebisu here. Yebisu!

I was worried you'd have downed them all already.

Oh, no, I would never!

Hmm?

Okay just one.

Then why are there two missing?

I'll wash the dishes to make up for it!

Now as way of apology allow me to pour you a fan-freaking-tastic glass of Yebisu beer!

Hold that glass for me, would ya?

L-like this?

Get ready!

Here GOES!

Relax, relax! A good pouring is key!

First we fill it up about half way and then STOP!

Now we let the fizz there settle down and wait until it's about half foam half beer.

Next we pour very carefully making sure to keep the foam until it's about 90% full.

Then you gotta hold back that desire to gulp it down and just wait.

Now here's the last part!

Pour the rest in nice and slow to bring the head to the top.

The perfect ratio is 7 to 3 and with that it's ready!

Oh my! It's like something out of a commercial!

Right?

This is the ideal way to pour the perfect glass of Yebisu beer.

I call it the three step pour!

Now then, let's celebrate Michiru Amatsuki moving in with us here!

Cheers!

The foam is so fluffy...!

Right? Right?

The foam is so fine and the bubbles have settled down.

That's the magic of the three step pour!

Now Michiru-chan, make sure you eat up!

Chilled tofu is the perfect match for a summer drink.

I topped it off with some plum and okra to make it even more refreshing.

Don't mind if I do!

Oh, that plum accent really stimulates the palate!

And it looks just as wonderful as it tastes!

And nothing like some beer to wash it down!

DRINK SLOWER TO ENJOY IT MORE ♥

How can she drink that much...?!

Here's some chopped avocado and tuna dressed with wasabi soy sauce.
