(Uno Tora) Someone from the newspaper wrote an article about your dad’s food.
(Uno Meiko) Huh?
And the things he wrote weren’t very good.
I also had an argument today.
About what?
Someone tried to take my jam away from me.
Wouldn’t it have better to at least give him a taste?
Why does everyone say that,
when it was my jam?
Meiko, why didn’t you let anyone try it?
Because then I would have less. I see. Then you’d have less…
But even if the amount of jam decreases,
doesn’t something else increase?
It doesn’t mean that.
Sure it does. No it doesn’t!
Well then, even if you don’t lose the jam, I wonder if it means you lose something else?
(Genta) We definitely aren't friends!
Nope!
Is that so?

Week One: A Once in a Lifetime Strawberry Episode 4
Suddenly, unexpectedly, or inevitably?
We don’t notice when it begins.
Things don’t always go as expected.
When that happens, all we can do is grin.
As the raindrops fall one by one, the colors of the town change,
and without an umbrella, I can sing to the rainy sky above.
I love you for who you are.
Please look up and let the light shine on your face.
So that the river of tears can return to the ocean.
Hallelujah! Everyone’s heart will make it through difficult times to the brighter days ahead.
(Kenjiro) They say that your restaurant sucks? Huh?
(Kenjiro) It was in the newspaper, wasn’t it? That was…
It’s about your dad…
charging his customers a lot for crappy food.
(Laughter)
Cheapskate Meiko!
Cheapskate Meiko and her greedy family! Cheapskate Meiko and her greedy family!
My dad doesn’t do such things!
He only uses fresh eggs…
because they are the best for his customers!
My dad always tries his hardest.
(All three together) Cheapskate Meiko and her greedy family!
My dad’s dishes are the best in the world!
(Uno Daigo) Hey!
Let’s stop for the day. (Yamamoto) Huh?
We don’t have any reservations, so let's go grab a drink.
(Uno Iku) Hold on. What are you thinking?
I was thinking, from now on We make the restaurant “reservation only”.
What? That way we won’t be throwing stuff away.
And the only people who come will be those who want to eat my food
You’re not serious, are you?
Wasn’t it your dream to turn people living in small towns on to French cuisine?
You’re willing to give up so easily just because of this?
What’s going on here? Make some food.
Huh?
Everyone’s saying our food sucks!
Make them understand that’s not true!
Fine. Everyone take a seat.
Iku, give me a break will you.
I mean, we don't even have any reservations.
What about the bill? It’s not like we can charge these brats.
What’s wrong? You don’t have any confidence Because kids are honest about their opinions?
You’re afraid they’re not going to say it’s delicious.
~Music~
Hey, it’s good, right?
The anpan at Wakimura’s is much better.
Dad. What’s up?
Everyone says they want some rice. Rice?
No way. but… I said no, so it’s no!
(Iku) Here we have beef in a red wine stew.
(Genta) What about the rice? He said no. What?
Use these.
They’re too much trouble. Don’t you have any chopsticks?
You can stab it with the fork and then cut it with the knife.
(Kenjiro) I can’t do that. (Chiyo) Can’t we get some rice?
What’s that all about?
Here we have foie gras pudding.
Please enjoy it with some bread.
(Chiyo) It’s so beautiful!
What do you think?
It’s good, right?
I’m not too sure what it is.
(Chiyo) It’s gone bad.
It hasn’t gone bad. It’s supposed to taste like that.
Oh…sorry!
What about the beef? It was good, right?
Sukiyaki is much better.
Well, let’s go.
Yeah, let’s get outta here.
Hold on a second.
We’ll bring out some even better dishes!
Wait a sec. Hold on!
Dad, make some tomato rice And a huge omelet, will ya?
Like what you make for my lunch.
I only make that from the leftovers. But..when Chiyo and I traded lunches,
she said it was really good.
And they’ll be definitely surprised by the omelet!
No way.
I don’t serve stuff like that to customers.
(Daigo) Go and tell them no.
No. (Daigo) What did you say?
I mean, your food is the best In the whole world!
Because it tastes so good!
We have to make them think that too!
I also like your cooking.
Your one week demi-glace stew,
Your carefully strained white sauce
Your thick potage too.
I eat them and think, “Ah, this is French cuisine.”
But it’s for this reason I think that.
It’s great because it’s French cuisine that you made.
Just like tomato rice made from cold rice and sauce that came from the bottom of the pot
Is also fine French cuisine too.
It’s French cuisine that only you can make.
Do we have any rice?
Go bring me some rice!
OK!
Meiko, you can help out too. Sure!
~Music~

It’s soooo good!
~Music~
(Genta) It’s great! So good!
Delicious!
~Music~
They look so happy while eating.
(Iku) You’re right.
Eventually the time will come where people are more used to forks and knives.
Well, I don't really care about that kinda stuff anymore.
~Music~
This is the reason that I became a chef.
~Music~
Come again. Next time with someone who has a wallet.
(Laughing) It was really delicious!
Thanks.
For that…
Gochisousama Meiko! (Thank you for the food)
Me too! Gochisousama!
(Laughing)
Grandma, now I understand. Huh?
About having less jam but more of something else.
Oh yeah, what is it?
It's “gochisousama”.
I got less jam, but I got more “Gochisousama”!
Meiko, “Gochisousama” is something…
Oh, grandma, what’s wrong?
Uh…
Gochisousama…uh…
Grandma? Grandma!
Grandma! Grandma!
