It was a wonderful reception.

Yes.

"Mom, Utako, have you changed since then?"

"Nene Hiroo-san's celebratory couple's tea bowl has arrived.

Thank you very much. The two of us will use it carefully."

"I'm sorry I surprised everyone at the reception."

Reminiscence> I will open an Okinawan restaurant!

"Since then, I've thought about it many times

I consulted with Kazuhiko and my feelings have not changed.

I decided to open an Okinawan restaurant.”

“We started our newlywed life in Amayyu for the time being.

At Shigeko's request, we decided not to live together."

Let's eat - Let's eat.

Yeah delicious. Thank you.

Don't say that. It's a simple dish.

“Towards the big goal of opening my own store

We are getting more and more busy every day in our new life together."

“The owner is in favor of me being independence.

She couldn't really give me any advice."

I see. In the Florentine Republic

How are things?

At that time in Florence, while Umanesimo was being held

You didn't have the right to vote unless you joined a union called Arte.

Hmm... (knock)

Excuse me.

That's why opening a restaurant independently

Decide on a target first.

What kind of city, what kind of customer base, and what kind of price should be set?

Huh? Find a property that matches your image

Set a daily sales target.

The rent will be covered by the sales for 3 days.

3 days?

As long as it's not a residence and a store, it's all double rent utility expenses.

Keep fixed costs to a minimum.

I see….

Why are you eavesdropping on us? Get back to work!

Yes I'm sorry! Excuse me.

Is he Katsushika Hokusai?

Taikan Yokoyama Why don't you hang a picture of Yumeji Takehisa?

Mother Nobuko wants to run a restaurant...

This is precisely because I recognize Nobuko's skills as top-notch

They say that the paintings should be of the highest quality.

Rejected. Impossible.

Ha...

Well then, this is the one condition that I absolutely cannot compromise on.

What is it?

You won't do anything that would hinder Kazuhiko's work.

That alone is absolutely unacceptable.

Mother. - Shigeko-san, that's fine.

Shi-chan. Because that's important.

Ah Shi-chan…

Mr. Miss…. Shi-chan doesn't need "san"!

Yes…. - Say it again.

Shi-chan... - Ahhhhh...

Mother is fine.

Did you get that much?

I want as much information as possible.

But I was surprised.

Why on earth an Okinawan restaurant?

Even though you studied Italian cooking.

And why are you opening a shop in Tokyo?

I wish you could do it around here where there are a lot of Okinawan people.

Because you're going to be our business rival?

For customers who do not know Okinawa cruisine.

I want to make it a restaurant where people can enjoy delicious food.

How much is the unit price per customer?

I haven't decided yet.

I was thinking about the size of the shop and the rent budget

When it came time to make a decision, I was at a loss.

It is natural that it is difficult because it is your first time to open a store.

Don't think about it alone, talk to me about anything.

Thank you.

I will do my best.

Are you okay?

What about your dream to become a freelancer and make Okinawa your life's work?

Of course I haven't given up.

But for now, I want to help Nobuko realize her dream.

I will do my best here for a while.

Sorry I made you wait. What did you want to talk to me about?

As you know, I once opened my own store but it closed.

Yahagi's shop did not last long either.

Nobuko-san, until now

What have you learned at Fontana?

More and more at this store under the owner

Don't you want to master Italian cuisine?

I understand the feeling of cherishing hometown cuisine.

But you learned Italian so far

It's a waste, isn't it? - About that….

A restaurant cannot survive on dreams and ideals alone.

Even if acquaintances gathered at the beginning of the opening

There is no guarantee that the popularity will continue six months or a year from now.

I know it's not easy.

I am proud to have worked at Fontana.
