The Taste of Fish (築地魚河岸三代目)

Again.

What?

Shun, you always do this without asking.

I thought you'd enjoy it.

Why?!

It's known for being expensive.

Don't worry about it!

I do worry.

You know I don't like such places.

But I...

Why did we have to eat out anyway?

I said that I'd make curry.

Sometimes it's nice talk about things.

About what?!

About...

You want to know what...?

Hello?

Yes...

Just a moment.

Yes, OK. Go ahead.

Director, does it have to be right now?

Right now!

Get my golf bag at Misako's, like always.

I'll call my wife.

But, sir...

Sorry!

The main course...

Why'd I have to drag you here from the hospital?!

It may be the last time I to see it.

Ridiculous, just a knee operation!

Listen to me.

General anesthesia is risky.

Just accept it.

A lifetime of heavy lifting and standing is bad for the knees.

Hey, Sho...

I'll retire soon.

Really?

What about the shop, Uotatsu?

Eiji's the 3rd generation, he'll take over.

I see...

Once you decide, that's the end of it.

What happens next?

That's the thing...

Morning, Uotatsu boss!

Oh no, head back!

Head back?!

Quick! Quick!

You said come here,

now you say head back...?!

I don't want to be seen!

I'll look foolish.

I see.

"University Hospital"

How is it?

True, they're really different.

Told you!

Being a bit sour makes them more fruity.

All the rest grow 'Kyoho' grapes.

My stubborn Grandpa only grows these 'Koshu' grapes.

To me, this taste is 'grape'.

As usual, talk about Shuntaro's taste.

I love to hear about his sense of taste.

You're not at work?

I visited our branch office,

and wanted your wife to try these.

Thank you.

Let me try.

Thanks.

Rather sour...

No! They're good!

Thank you!

I still think of the days when...

I worked under you in purchasing.

We had a great time.

Laughter, tears, panic...

But now I just run errands for the Director.

I could be promoted to Section Chief, but...

I wonder...

What's wrong?

Maybe I feel a bit guilty...

I intend to marry.

That's what it is!

Should have said so!

Better reconsider that.

Half our pay goes to putting up with things!

Here's your order!

It's ready.

It looks good!

Not 'looks good,' it is good!

Kaneya-san, for your wife.

Again? Thanks so much.

I'd really like to make her blackthroat seaperch,

but they're not catching any this year.

But Tsukiji is the main fish market in Japan.

Don't they have any?

I know it's Junko's favorite,

and tried to find some.

Thank you for this.

She grew up far from the sea,

but her father used to go fishing, so seaperch brings back memories.

She ate some of Chiaki's here.

The familiar taste moved her to tears.

Right?

I want to try some!

Better eat your snapper first!

Right, let's eat.

It's good!

Let's have a toast.

Akagi-san, here's to your promotion!

Cheers!

A kiss?

Akagi, your great personality will make your resignation easier.

Right!

Excuse me...?

Restructuring.

Huh?

Not 'huh.' You have to.

Also, we'll go to Hakone tomorrow,

pick me up in the morning.

Sir, I hadn't heard anything about restructuring.

I just told you.

Told you!

Akagi, drink more!

Another toast!

You drinking?

I am! Tomorrow's early...

Sorry.

Good morning!

Morning.

You're here?!

This is a bit lean.

True, but the color's pretty good.

A bit cheaper?

I can't really...

Remember my loan?

Alright. Let's do it.

Boss!

It's serious!

I'm tired of your panic!

Lose at horse racing?

Nothing like that!

Some weird guy's with Asuka!

He grabbed her arm!

It may be rape!

Call the cops?

Where is he?!

On the pier!

A wholesaler's daughter?

You didn't tell me.

Sorry. I planned to tell you sometime.

Two jobs is too much.

The head chose you for window display.

You said now is crucial.

But things happened...

What happened?

You'll get exhausted.

Let's go. I'll take you.

Let me go, I can't leave yet.

You have to go...

You jerk, what's going on?!

Just wait!

What are you doing?!

That'll cool you down!

Lousy jerk!

Are you OK?

Idiot!

He's my boyfriend!

Shun, you OK?

The foam box!

What's going on?!

Who are you?!

I'm sorry.

My dad's having knee surgery.

Our little shop is shorthanded, I'm helping out till he leaves hospital.

But you've been working overtime at the store.

I'm OK. Dad will return at the end of this month.

You shouldn't come here again.

But, Asuka...
