AISubs v3.7
This time I came to Oshu city, Iwate prefecture!
First of all, Mr.Gashitara, let's have a look at this!
This is amazing! This is Ohtani Sands Art!
Ohtani Sands Art is clearly floating up!
Ohtani Sands Art is amazing!
It's amazing!
To tell you the truth, Oshu city is the birthplace of Ohtani Sands Art!
Oshu city, Iwate prefecture, is the birthplace of such a superstar that Japan is proud of!
Oshu city is surrounded by mountains like Ogu Mountains and 60% of the city is forest.
Oshu city is green and rich in nature!
Let's go to Oshu city, where Ohtani Sands Art was born and raised!
I can't wait for it!
But first of all, Mr.Gashitara, let me say something!
What is it?
Everyone, let's not long for it!
Let's not long for it!
I've longed for it!
I can't overcome it!
I've come here to be the best!
I can't be the best if I'm not longing for it!
So, for today, let's not long for it and only think about eating it!
That's it!
Is it the same as longing for it and eating it?
That's it!
I don't know.
Then, let's start looking for food in Oshu city, where Ohtani Sands Art was born and raised!
He's showing his face!
You're showing your face too much!
That's amazing!
Let's go!
I'm going to look for food in Oshu.
When it comes to Ohtani players, they play with two swords, pitchers and batters.
This time, I'm going to play with the cutting and eating with two swords.
You always do it.
The last one!
The last one.
I changed my clothes.
First of all, let's ask around the residential area of Mizusawa District, the center of Oshu City.
I've been told I'm a gourmet.
I wonder if anyone is there.
Is there a shrine in the back?
There is a torii.
If you look closely, this is a shrine.
This street has a great atmosphere.
It's nice.
There used to be a castle here.
Is that so?
There used to be a shrine here.
I see.
It's nice.
This is the kind of city Oshu City is.
It has a Japanese feel.
That's right.
What's up?
Nice to meet you.
Hello.
I'm sorry. You're working, aren't you?
No, I'm not.
You're not?
I'm Imura. Nice to meet you.
Sir, what is this place?
It's a tatami shop.
A tatami shop?
It's cool.
A tatami shop.
Sir, can I come in?
Sure.
Can I?
Nice to meet you. Hello.
It's cool.
It looks like an old-fashioned tatami shop.
Hello.
Weren't you working?
I am, aren't I?
I see.
What are you doing here?
I'm reading a book.
A book?
Not yet.
I'm sorry for coming all of a sudden.
Not at all.
Can you tell me your name?
Watanabe.
Mr. Watanabe.
How old are you?
Seventy-five.
Wow, you look healthy.
Good.
I feel like I'm stuck in this chair.
I see.
Do you sit here all day?
Well, mostly.
That's good.
By the way, how old is this place, Mr. Watanabe?
About thirty people, I think.
I see.
You work here.
Yes.
But you're off today, right?
Yes, I am.
You're not going anywhere, Mr. Watanabe?
What do you want me to do in this hot weather?
No, I mean, do you want to go somewhere pretty and play?
Go where?
Like go for a drive?
It's so hot I want to do it.
Mr. Watanabe, do you have any hobbies?
Hobbies?
Yes.
I do.
Shogi?
I don't.
Ego?
I don't.
Really? Fishing?
I don't.
Huh?
I used to be a professional golfer, but...
You don't do it now?
I don't do it now.
What do you do?
Watch movies?
I don't watch movies.
You don't watch movies?
No.
Then, what do you do?
Um...
Cooking?
I don't.
Then, what do you do? Um...
Drawing?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Listening to music?
I don't feel like it.
Wait a minute.
I do.
What do you do? Um...
Sports. Sports.
Bowling?
Bowling...
I don't do it.
I do it once a year, but I don't like it.
Really?
You have a hobby, don't you?
Badminton.
Badminton?
I didn't expect that.
It was badminton?
Yes.
You're kidding me, aren't you? You're kidding me, aren't you?
Badminton?
Yes.
It's good, isn't it?
It's bitter.
Where do you do badminton?
I don't do it now.
But you do?
In elementary school.
I continued badminton club.
Oh, you have a badminton club?
Yes.
You were in the club for 32 years.
You played a lot.
Mr. Watanabe.
Is this a program in the first place?
TV? Do you watch TV?
I don't watch it much.
I don't think you do.
Do you know me?
Yes, I watch you on TV.
Have you seen me before?
Yes, I have.
Mr. Watanabe.
By the way, this is a TV program called "Sekkaku Gourmet" by Banana Man.
I've never seen it.
You haven't, have you?
To be honest...
I'd like you to cooperate with me.
It goes like this.
Since you haven't eaten in a tobacco shop in northern Europe,
is there a shop you'd like Mr. Watanabe to show you?
Turn right there.
Go straight and you'll find a room called "Takenoya".
Wow!
Isn't it good?
You're showing me something good.
Is that what you eat, Mr. Watanabe?
Yes.
Is it good?
It's good.
Wow! Isn't it good? Isn't it good? Isn't it good?
Wow! Here it is! Here it is!
I've had it for a long time.
Oh, that's good.
Is it like you've had it since you were a kid?
That's right.
Really?!
Wow! I'd like to eat this!
You're showing me something really good!
Thank you very much!
I'd like you to write it for me. Is it okay?
It's okay.
I'm not going to write it.
Then I'll write it for you.
I'll tell you the name of the restaurant.
"Takenoya".
What should I eat there?
Eel.
Eel kaba-yaki.
Wow! That's great!
Not just eel.
There's that, too.
There's that, too?
Yes.
But your recommendation is kaba-yaki.
Yes.
Okay!
Mr. Watanabe, can I go with you for a drink?
Sure.
Wow!
That's great!
Thank you very much!
Mr. Watanabe, can you call me like this?
I came all the way to see you.
Please eat "Takenoya"'s eel.
Thank you very much!
I did it!
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
I'm sorry for taking you so long!
See you later!
But you still introduced me to the restaurant.
The restaurant seems to be quite close, so let's negotiate in person!
Good, good, good!
Ah! Isn't this an eel restaurant?
Ah, this is for sure!
Ah, "Takenoya"'s eel restaurant! Wow, what a nice restaurant!
What a nice restaurant!
Is it new?
Shall we go in?
Let's go in!
Ah, they are preparing now!
Wow!
Ah, they are preparing!
They are preparing!
Ah, hello!
Oh!
I'm sorry!
Oh, you are surprised, aren't you?
I'm sorry for coming all of a sudden!
Wow!
I'm really sorry!
My name is Hibura!
Yes!
Actually, I came here on the show "Seikakusou Gurume"
Yes!
If you don't mind, could you film me eating?
I see!
Yes, yes, yes!
Okay!
How is it?
Okay!
Wow!
It's time for a hit.
Now, according to the opening hour in the evening, they go to the restaurant.
It smells like eels.
Eels smell good.
Hello.
You work here, don't you?
Thank you very much.
Excuse me.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Excuse me for filming for a moment.
Excuse me.
Welcome.
Thank you very much, sir.
Thank you very much.
I'm sorry for filming for a moment.
Thank you very much.
Welcome.
The bamboo shop has been in business for more than 100 years.
The fourth child and his son, Makoto, are in charge of running the shop.
The taste of eel, which has been inherited for generations, is still loved by citizens of Europe.
Watanabe-san, it's not eel.
It's kaba-yaki.
I see.
Do adults go there often?
I guess so.
I've never been to an eel restaurant and eaten kaba-yaki.
That's true.
Do you come there often?
Excuse me.
I did it.
Thank you very much.
I see.
It's not rice.
Thank you very much.
It looks delicious.
Thank you for the meal.
Excuse me.
What are you doing here?
No, no, no.
What's wrong?
I haven't asked you yet.
You can only eat what you've asked for.
Please.
What are you going to do?
Thank you for the meal.
No, no.
Can I open it?
What's this?
I finally asked you.
Can I open it?
This is it.
This is the best.
I'm sorry in the end.
This is not my fault.
I'm going to be strict with you from now on.
I won't refuse you.
I'm going to tear your nails from now on.
I'm sorry for your sins.
This is a big feast.
This is amazing.
The eel is pre-washed.
They are grilled on both sides.
They are steamed until they are fluffy.
This is the sweetest eel they've eaten in 100 years.
They are steamed until they are fluffy.
This is amazing.
This is beautiful.
This is delicious.
They are grilled for a short time so that they don't lose their fluffy texture.
They are grilled on both sides.
I'll eat it again.
I think it's luxurious to eat it separately.
Wow, it's soft!
It's soft!
It melts in my mouth!
Oh, it's delicious!
Fluffy!
Melts in my mouth!
I've never eaten eel alone.
Me neither.
It's creamy.
It's a shame.
Look at this.
Is it a liver skewer?
A liver skewer.
They don't usually serve it in restaurants.
They eat it as a side dish.
It's an eel liver skewer.
They also put a lot of secret sauce in it.
They grilled it over charcoal.
Thank you for it.
Wow, eel tendons are so good, too!
This, too, is soft and tender.
Rice goes well with eel, too!
Are you going to eat it all at once?
This is the best rice in the world!
Let's taste it!
It looks delicious!
It's delicious!
Wow, you're eating so fast!
It looks delicious!
This is too good!
I can't eat this suddenly.
This looks like a big meal.
It's hard to chew.
You're eating a lot.
One grain at a time.
Properly.
I'm old-fashioned, so I don't know.
I don't know where the grains of rice are.
The person who taught me this is Mr. Takanoya.
Thank you very much!
Even now, he eats a lot of Otemi's home-grown sushi!
It's delicious!
It looks delicious!
The boys' baseball team that Winter used to belong to also has a surprise home run!
Himura-san enjoyed eels so much!
In fact, right after saying goodbye to Watanabe-san, they had a wonderful encounter!
Come here!
Oh my!
She's so cute!
She's cute!
Hello!
She has a refreshing expression in motion!
What's your name?
I'm Mako Nakamura.
Mako-chan?
Mako-chan, how old are you?
I'm seven years old.
Seven years old?
What grade are you in elementary school?
I'm in second grade.
Second grade!
It's so nice here!
Do you live here?
My house is in Tokyo.
Oh, you live in Tokyo?
I live with my grandma.
Oh, I see!
Did you come to your grandma's house to play today?
Yes!
Oh my!
You look great!
You're so cute!
What's over there?
It's my mom.
It's your mom, isn't it?
Hello, ma'am!
Oh, it's around here!
Is it around here?
It's around here.
Isn't it here?
No, it's not.
Oh, I'm surprised!
I didn't think it was here!
My family fixed my tatami mat for me.
Oh, it's connected in the end!
It's a tatami mat that you, Watanabe-san, fix, isn't it?
And badminton, too.
Badminton!
There's information about badminton in it!
Oh, I see!
When will you go back to Tokyo?
August 30th or 31st.
Oh, then you'll be here all summer vacation.
So you'll be here all summer vacation?
Yes.
Did you do your homework?
Yes.
Did you do it?
Good boy!
What kind of homework do you have?
Diary...
Yes, diary.
Diary...
And school.
Is your diary finished?
It's in the middle of writing it now.
Right? It can't be finished yet!
I thought you were writing it for my diary.
That's right!
You know, since we're on TV, have you ever seen "Banana Man's Badminton"?
Yes.
Is it true?
Yes!
Mago-chan, can you tell me an old man about a delicious restaurant in Europe?
Yes!
Since we're in Europe, why don't you try it out?
A ramen shop.
That's nice!
Did you eat ramen there?
Yes!
Was it good?
Yes!
Wow, you like ramen?
What kind of ramen was it? Do you remember?
It was soy sauce ramen.
Wow, that's the best!
Wow!
Did you go there with your mother?
Yes, I did.
Do you like it, Mago-chan?
I love it.
Oh, really?
That's sweet of you.
However...
We're not accepting media requests.
I see.
Is that so?
We asked the ramen shop we were recommended to shoot a video, but they said they didn't accept any requests.
Oh, that's too bad.
That's too bad.
I wanted to see it.
Let's ask Mago-chan again.
One more time.
Let's go there.
So...
We contacted Mago-chan's mother and waited for her to tell us about the food again.
Does Mago-chan know about this?
I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!
No, no, I'm sorry for showing up!
Thank you for coming so early.
That's fine!
I'm sorry, Mago-chan!
What's with you?
I want to give you some pocket money.
That's true, that's true.
I'm sorry, but I want you to tell us about one more different shop.
Is there anything else?
Kikuttei.
What?
Kikuttei.
Kikuttei?
What kind of shop is that?
There's a lot of things.
What did you eat that was delicious?
I ate...
You ate?
Really?
He's an adult!
That looks good!
- Do you have anything? - Kikuttei.
- What is it? - Kikuttei.
Kikuttei? What kind of shop is it?
- There's a lot of things. - Is it an izakaya?
What did you eat there and was it good?
Spicy mapo tofu and adult gyoza.
- Did you eat it? - Yes.
Can you eat spicy mapo tofu?
- Can you eat it? - You're 7 years old and you can't eat spicy food?
- Yes. - Oh, you like spicy food.
- Thank you for teaching me. - Cute.
- Mamo-chan, do you want to put it here? - Yes.
- It's very firm. - Spicy mapo tofu is like an adult.
- One, two... - We came all the way to Oshu.
- Kitsutegyoza, spicy mapo tofu, try it. - Yes!
So, let's call the restaurant and ask for permission to film!
- I'm Himura, a comedian called "Banana Man" in Tokyo. - Yes!
- I'm sorry for calling you all of a sudden! Are you okay now? - I'm fine!
- I'm filming a TV show called "Banana Man's Special Food". - Yes!
- I heard that Kitsutegyoza and spicy mapo tofu are delicious. - Yes!
- If you don't mind, can you film me eating? - Please wait a moment!
- Yes, I'm sorry! - Yes, please!
- Okay, can you see me? - I hope you can see me!
- Oh, you have changed your phone number! - Oh, I'm Himura!
- Yes! Are you okay? - Thank you very much! I'm sorry for calling you all of a sudden!
- Not at all! Thank you for calling us! - A seven-year-old girl named "Mako" - Yes!
- She likes Kitsutegyoza's spicy mapo tofu. - Yes!
- We have normal mapo tofu and Shisen mapo tofu. - Okay!
- I think the normal mapo tofu is the one you are eating now. - Oh, is that so?
- Shisen mapo tofu! - You mean Shisen mapo tofu?
- Oh, I see! - So, you like spicy one, don't you?
- Yes, I like spicy one! - Can we have that and gyoza, please?
- Okay! - Thank you for calling us!
- We will change our phone number now! - Okay! Thank you very much!
- Thank you for calling us! - Thank you for calling us!
- Thank you very much! - Thank you!
- I'm sorry! Take care! - Thank you!
She is so cute!
Thank you!
I love children's bye-bye.
By the way...
What?
The memories with Himura-san...
Since it's such a great opportunity, Bako-chan called him over.
Today, I met Himura-san on TV.
At first, I thought it was just a dream.
But, when we talked, it was fun and Himura-san was kind.
Next, I want to meet Himura-san and Sitara-san.
They introduced me to my favorite dumplings and spicy mapo tofu.
What a wonderful encounter!
Bako-chan, thank you!
I don't know what you taught me.
Carbo donburi and dumplings.
I'm looking forward to it.
What's wrong?
I found it!
This is it.
Yes!
Here.
Is it for injection?
It's a specialty of our show.
This is a good doll.
It's good for cutting.
It will come out five or six times today.
It's narrow.
It's narrow for me.
It's hard for me to get off.
Are you okay?
It's hard for me.
Are you okay?
It's dangerous.
I found it.
This is it.
It's a specialty of our show.
It's a good show.
The color is bright.

There are many delicious Chinese dishes, including A-brand fried rice.
All of them are reasonable prices.
Young people and families of all ages love it.
This time, we will eat Shisen Mapo Tofu and Gyoza recommended by Mako-chan.
Thank you very much.

It looks pretty spicy.
It looks spicy, doesn't it?
I'll eat it.
It's hot.
It's delicious.
It's very delicious.
It's a little spicy, but it's too delicious.
This is delicious.
It's spicy, but it's delicious.
I'm strong in spicy food, so it's okay.
But I can't believe Mako ate this.
This is delicious.
It's so delicious that I don't need to wait for rice for the first time.

The soup is...
Wow, it's so good!

The skin is thin and crispy, but the filling inside is juicy!

The restaurant's signature menu is

Thank you for waiting.
I wonder what kind of hot pot it is.

The lid won't close.
- Please wait until it's in the pot. - Okay.
- There's a lot of vegetables in it. - Wow!
It won't close.
Okay, it's closing now.

What they use is soy sauce-based sauce and slowly cooked pork hormones from Iwate prefecture.
There are seven kinds of hormones, including fresh ones like tongue, belly meat, liver and lungs.
If you put Chinese cabbage and tofu in a pot...
It's got to be sweet.
And they put lots of hormones on top of it.
The key flavor is the secret sauce that hasn't changed since its inception.
- It looks so good! - It has a sweet and spicy flavor with a mixture of spicy miso and apple.
- It's a little sweet. - If you put it in a pot and boil it...
The delicious hormone hot pot is ready!
- It's a good season. - Let me try it.
It's starting to get cold.
- It looks so good! - It looks like an omelet.
It looks so good!
- It looks so good! - It's so good!
The mochi I ate last time is also very good!
It's processed very well, so it doesn't smell and it's soft!
It's so good!
I've eaten a lot of mochi, but...
- It's not greasy at all. - It's so good!
It's not greasy at all.
It's cheap and has a lot of volume, and that's why it's so good!
There are various parts of mochi, like this...
- There are parts like this... - It looks like you're enjoying it!
It's so good!
Is it liver?
This is so good!
I wonder if it's because of the egg.
The egg and rice don't taste the same.
This looks so good!
Wow, it's so good!
The taste is quite strong and sweet.
It's sweet and spicy, and it has a strong taste!
Wow, it's so good!
- This is so good! - This is so good!
- I'm not sure if it's as good as the mochi we've had so far. - It's good, isn't it?
Thank you for the food.
Wow, it's good!
It's like miso.
- It's sweet and a little spicy. - Yes.
- Wow, it's really good. - I can't stop eating it.
- Is it too much? - No, it's just right.
- You can't stop eating it, can you? - I can't stop eating it.
I didn't think it would come out of my mouth.
I'm so happy!
Thank you very much, daddy!
Gochisousamadeshita!

Char siu noodles.
Weird face.
Miko, Miko.
Here we are.
- We did it. - We did it.
- This place looks good. - It does.
- This is a great shop. - That's true.
I didn't know there was a shop like this.
You're right.
Hello. Excuse me.
Hello. Excuse me. Hello. Excuse me. Hello.
- Welcome. - Thank you very much.
Thank you very much. I'm sorry for the sudden visit.
Welcome back home.
By the way, how old is the shop?
- It's been 40 years. - Wow.
That's amazing.
- This shop looks good. - Why?
- This is crazy.
This is insane.
It opened in 1943.
- Mikkon-san of the legendary Daisei-kyo... - I know this place.
This place must be good.
- It's been loved by citizens of Europe for many years. - I want to eat here.
It's a city cafeteria.
I've been coming back to this shop since I was little.
It's been 40 years.
- It's been 40 years. - It's been 40 years.
- This is the cafeteria. - This is it.
- Wow. - Wow.
The second generation of Mr. Takahashi is in charge of organizing the shop.

- It's good, isn't it? - Hmm.
I think the chashu is also...

I hope they'll bring me that kind of food.
I'm looking forward to it.
- Thank you very much! - Thank you!
- Sure!
- Thank you very much! - Simple!
- This is what I wanted to eat! - It looks as good as you thought!
- Wow, it looks so good! - As good as you thought!
- Wow, it looks so good! - Wow!
- Five slices of char siu! - This is what I wanted!
For the base soup,
self-caught from Europe,
chicken from European Iwai birds,
mushrooms,
and kombu vegetables are slowly boiled for three hours
to extract the umami.
To go with it,
is a deep-flavored home-made soy sauce.
If you combine this with the base soup we saw earlier,
you get a mild and deep,
exquisite soy sauce soup.
It looks so good.
For the noodles,
thin, shredded noodles that go well with the soup.
For the char siu,
pork loin,
light soy sauce, ginger,
and green onions are boiled for an hour.
It looks so good.
With a little bit of salt and pepper...
It looks so good!
Five of these self-proclaimed char siu!
If you top it with simple ingredients,
it's a taste that hasn't changed since its inception.
Exquisite char siu noodles are complete!
This is a beautiful soup.
It makes you tired.
Thank you for it.
What a beautiful color.
This kind of broth can soak up to your fingertips.
It's deep, too.
Kimura, you're fast.
It's good.
This ramen looks delicious.
It's good.
I want to eat it.
I don't need words.
This is good.
It's good.
This is what I'm talking about.
The bowl is good, too.
Let's eat soy sauce ramen soon.
I'll eat it soon.
I want to eat it when I see it.
The bowl is too middle.
Anyone can get a home run.
This is super.
This char siu.
Will it work?
It looks delicious.
The heat is just right.
Everything is soft.
This is delicious.
It's soft, but it's meaty.
I want him to eat this.
This is great.
Come here.
I have no choice but to come here.
Come and eat this.
Wow!
Thank you very much!
So, the one who taught me how to make this is...
Yes, it's Miko-san's 3rd anniversary!
Thank you very much!
At Otani's hometown, Oshin-shi, it's his 3rd anniversary!
Meow!
Mr. Himura is looking for gourmet food in his hometown of Oshu City, Ohtani Prefecture.
The next destination is...
Mr. Shitaro!
What is it?
I've been told by the local government agency that if you come to Oshu City, you should definitely buy this souvenir.
So I'm going to go and get it now!
Let's go!
Speaking of Oshu City...
I came here for...
Ta-dah!
Fruits?
Now you know what kind of tree it is, don't you? Here it is!
It's an apple tree!
Apple!
I'm now in Oshu City, Esashi District.
It is said that apple cultivation is very popular in this area.
Moreover, it is said that the way of making this apple is a little different from other apples.
They make the tree low and don't make it high.
The reason for this is that the sun hits the apple a lot.
If the tree of the apple is high, the branches will become shadows and it will be difficult for the sun to hit the apple at a low place.
Esashi's apple trees are low so that the sun hits the fruit evenly.
What's more...
The leaves of the apple trees are also carefully rolled up.
They also make sure that the tree of the apple is low so that the sun hits it easily.
By making the apple trees like this...
The apple trees are high in sugar and are very sweet.
You can get sweets made of such precious apples at
Cafe Mizusaki Note, which opened in 2014.
You can get handmade sweets made of apples grown in your own farm,
such as crumble cakes and cheesecakes,
at Cafe Mizusaki Note.
It looks delicious.
Here is a gift for you from the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
What did you tell me?
Here it is.
Apple pie.
That's right.
Apples grown in your own farm are baked in a cafe.
You taught me something fashionable.
Inside the crispy dough,
there is a lot of apple from Esashi.
There is a lot of apple.
You can enjoy the crispy texture and rich apple flavor.
It looks delicious.
This time, we will bring this apple pie from Cafe Mizusaki Note to you as a gift.
Please look forward to it.
We have brought this apple pie from Cafe Mizusaki Note.
Thank you for it.
Wow, it looks delicious.
- It has a luxury feel. - I see.
- The sugar content is high. - Yes, it is.
And the smell of apples is very luxurious.
Wow, it's delicious.
The texture of apples is still good, but the refreshing sourness and sweetness go well together.
Wow, it's true! I can't get enough of it!
I can't get enough of it!
This is amazing!
This is delicious!
When did you eat it?
You ate it at this time.
I ate it secretly.
You ate it secretly.
Continue looking for gourmet food in Oshu city, a local city of Aotani warriors.
I wonder if anyone is there.
Hello.
Excuse me.
My name is Himura.
He is resting.
Is he there?
What are you doing?
What kind of attitude is that?
Are you smoking?
What do you mean?
Are you smoking after work?
It's a good time. Hello.
Can I sit here?
I watched "Banana Man" on TV.
Have you ever seen this?
Yes, I have.
Thank you.
I was wandering around Europe and I was looking for someone.
Why are you playing this?
This is my house.
This is your house?
Thank you for your hard work today.
I like this place.
I like the feeling of not putting a chair here.
I like the feeling of sitting on the ground.
What do you do for a living?
I'm a caretaker.
Are you done with work?
I'm done and I'm on vacation.
Are you on vacation today?
Have you been living in Europe for a long time?
Yes, I have.
I was wondering if you could cooperate with me.
I came all the way to Europe, so I want to eat something.
Well...
I have it.
That's good.
Wow!
Since you came all the way to Oshu and you don't like eating food,
can you tell me one thing about it?
There's a place called Gomen nearby, and there's a ramen shop.
Gomen?
Is "go" a doji?
It's "go" in "gokai" (gokai means "gourd")
That's true.
- It looks amazing. - What kind of ramen is it?
What kind of ramen is it?
It's quite thick.
That's good.
- It's something men like. - That's right.
It's really thick.
- I think it'll have a big impact. - No way.
It'll have a big impact.
- Can I write "gomen" on it? - Of course you can.
It means "gourd ramen", right?
Yes, "gourd" as in "gokai" (gourd means "gokai" in Japanese)
That's amazing.
"Gomen" as in "gourd ramen"
What should we eat it with? I'd like you to decide that for me.
- Oh, I see. - Yes.
If you just tell me "eat this",
I think "soy sauce gomen" might be good.
"Soy sauce gomen"? You mean "miso gomen"?
- There's "miso" too. - You mean "salt gomen"?
Oh, that's good.
You two like "soy sauce gomen" too?
- I like "soy sauce gomen" the most. - Okay.
- Let's go with "soy sauce". - Let's go with "soy sauce".
- This is good. - I ate it lightly earlier.
- This is good. - This is really good.
Have you tried other "gomen"? Have you tried "miso gomen"?
- No, I've only had this. - This is good?
That's good. Then we'll go with this.
Excuse me, but I'd like you two to call this out.
- Since we're here... - Let's go.
- Is it okay? - Ready, set...
- Since we're here in Oshu... - Since we're in Oshu...
- Since we're here... - Since we're here...
- Let's eat "soy sauce gomen". - Let's eat "soy sauce gomen".
Okay! Thank you!
Thank you. Is it close?
- It's right there. - That's good.
- It's close. - It's good to have "gomen" in your neighborhood.
- That's right. - Thank you.
Wait, I'm going to say it now.
- Thank you! Excuse me! - You're not going to say it, you're just going to say it.
I don't like it!
- Excuse me, it's hard for you to stand up from the ground, isn't it? - Yes, it's hard for me. My knees get stiff.
So, let's go to Mr. Gomen!
Thank you!
Excuse me!
I'll let you watch TV for a while. I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Hello!
Mr. Gomen's ramen shop is located in the center of Iwate Prefecture and opens 18 stores in the northeast.
You can eat ramen made with soy sauce you like,
miso soup made with red miso and tsugaru miso,
and even gokara tantan!
Gokara tantan sounds spicy.
- Wow, it's delicious! - There are so many delicious ramen that makes you want to eat more and more.
It's a popular dish in Oshu.
- It's a little undercooked, isn't it? - Yes, it is.
This time, Mr. Himura will eat the soy sauce ramen Mr. Gomen told us about.
Here it is!
- Wow, it's here! - Here's your soy sauce ramen.
- Wow, it looks delicious! - Wow, it's here!
- Wow, it looks delicious! - Wow, it looks delicious!
This is amazing!
The soup is 13kg of pork bone stewed for 2 hours to extract the umami from the pork.
By adding kombu, onions and shiitake mushrooms and simmering for 14 hours, the soup becomes thick and rich.
Add it with the special soy sauce with onions and a lot of back fat.

Miao.
I came here for the first time.
What is Miao?
She's like a different country.
She's cute.
It's so soft and delicious.
It's so soft.
It's hard to work as a caretaker.
But I know how you feel when you eat this.
It's like a gourmet ramen.
It looks so good.
It's like a capybara.
It's so good.
She shared it with the staff.
He told me about Gomen's soy sauce Gomen.
Thank you for the meal.
After eating ramen, Mr. Himura goes to a certain place.
There is a place where Mr. Ohtani used to go when he was a child.
I will go there.
What is that place?
It will be revealed in the second half of the program.
Next is Mr. Himura, who is looking for food in his hometown of Oshu City.
It is a place where Mr. Ohtani used to go when he was a child.
I will go there.
What is that place?
This is where Mr.Otani used to go when he was a child.
Look at this!
Batting Center!
This batting center is said to have been visited by elementary and middle school students.
Let's go and have a look.
It opened in 1947 and has been popular with local children for many years.
Maesawa Batting Center!
Mr.Otani, who has achieved more than 50/50 business success,
also visited Maesawa Batting Center once a week when he was a child to improve his skills.
This is where Mr.Otani used to bat.
Wow! Look at this!
The speed limit is 138 km/h, isn't it?
It is said that Mr.Otani used to do this speed limit when he was in elementary school.
Isn't it amazing?
Therefore, I also ate a lot of Western food for a day today.
Only my stomach is the same as Mr.Otani's at that time.
There is a possibility that I will be able to bat.
I will also try this 138 km/h speed limit.
Let's go!
138 km/h is quite fast.
Let's not long for it.
For today, I will long for it and only think about eating!
He has been eating a lot.
In his hometown, Oshu City, where Mr.Otani lives,
Mr.Himura ate more than one day or even two whole days of junk food.
I am sure that Mr.Himura ate the same junk food as Mr.Otani.
His stomach is filled with Oshu food.
He is definitely a major player.
I don't think I can't do it.
Now, is he ready?
Why?
Can you hit me in the face?
Here it comes.
Ouch!
Is it over?
Damn it!
I can't eat more of this.
Let me try it again.
I didn't know you could do this in elementary school.
What?
Kotaro, you are amazing!
Did you do it in elementary school?
Yes, I did.
Kotaro did it over there.
Yes, I did it over there.
I'm 160cm now.
I can do it easily.
But you did it over there.
You ate it up.
Is it true?
You went to a great place.
You said you didn't want to eat it up.
But you kept eating it up.
You ate it up so much.
I don't like it.
You are a monster.
