Excuse me. Can we have some more naan?
You said you haven't talked to your wife in 3 years, right?
Keep it down. This place is near our restaurant.
Say, have you ever had Neapolitan?
I bet they don't have something that good in Italy, huh?
Oh, you don't understand Japanese.
Have you ever had Neapolitan?
Why are you at an adventure playground
- with your wife and daughter? - Give that back.
They're people I don't know. I went there with a client.
Adventure playground with a client?
This client doesn't like to golf.
There's no tomato in Neapolitan.
It's ketchup.
- Then what about this video? - Leave the video alone.
Go, Dad!
Do I look cool? Leave it alone, I said.
I'm going to tell the President.
There was one in the past too.
Someone who messed around with one of the secretaries and got demoted.
Don't be ridiculous.
Have you ever had tarako (cod roe) spaghetti?
Liar.
Calm down now. Eat some curry and calm down.
- Here's your naan. - Just let go.
I asked for more naan here.
That's...hot.
Here's your naan.
With a naan. Naan, mind you. Like this. And this.
[TEL] I can't come to the phone right now... - So I'm telling you,
I'm hungry. Fix me something to eat since you have nothing to do.
I wonder where Mofuku-chan went.
- Can I cook mochi here? - Hey.
You can't do that. Why do you have mochi here?
- Can I cook it in the kitchen? - You go get cooked.
Come on, people. Don't take out the unpopularity of the restaurant on me.
It's not unpopularity. It's because it's colder than usual today.
Really~? Come here for a minute.
Come over here. Line up.
Look. That's reality. Take a look at reality.
Karasumori-san. Hey!
I saw Mofuku-chan a little while ago.
What? Where at?
- At Roppongi Hills. - Roppongi Hills?
Yeah. Mofuku-chan was looking like a good internet.
These are ready to go.
- Why? (nan de)? - Naan?
Why are so many people lined up today?
Oh, that nan. The improved version of the Chef's pot-au-feu was introduced on TV.
Keep up the good work. We've got to keep on expanding.
- Hey, Monji-kun. - How (nan de) did hurt yourself?
- I hurt hurt by a naan (nan de) - Huh?
Has my daughter been here since that time?
A hideaway restaurant can't be actually hidden away.
If you have something good to offer, you've got to let people know about it.
What do we need to do?
- What do you think you should do? - That's what I'm asking you.
That's like handing over the microphone to the audience at the climax of the song.
- Give us a specific plan. - Well, I'd say
Dentsu? Or Hakuhodo. (They're both international advertising and PR companies)
The wonderful people there will teach you all kinds of things.
Let's think of something on our own.
Oh, how about charging one coin for lunch?
- 500 yen. - Impossible.
If we do that, we'll have to reduce the cost of dinner too.
What about something like a lunch box?
Pack it like a bento and sell them on the street. Stick a flier in there
and let the customers know about our food and restaurant.
Let's try it.
Order's in. Spareribs lunch special.
Orange green curry lunch special. And one order of pot-au-feu.
Got it. Please get the salad ready.
- The sun is in my eyes. - Is it too bright?
Yeah, I feel like I'm getting burned. That's not helping at all.
- How's this? - Here's your order.
Uh... She's Tanaka.
The one who caused the ruckus and was taken to the police.
You've got a nice restaurant here. I don't need that.
Things happened, but I don't hold any grudge against you anymore.
- Are you warm enough? - The stove helps.
Excuse me.
I don't remember an attractive employee like that.
How come?
Why don't you have any roasted seaweed here?
- What? - Oh, it's nothing.
Hey, Miss.
You, I'm talking to you, Miss. Come here for a minute.
Karasumori-san, you don't need to go.
I'm "You, I'm talking to you, Miss." What can I do for you?
It appears this guy here is interested in you.
Have a seat.
Have we met before?
- Oh, uh...no, we haven't. - Salad's coming up.
It's ready to go.
- Have we met before? - No. I told you we haven't.
- We haven't met, so go away. - Excuse me, but
can you pay me an hourly wage? If you want to order me around.
Karasumori-san. Here's your order.
- Uh... - It's Tanaka.
Tanaka-san, you have a seat too. I'd like to talk to you, like about my daughter.
Sit down, sit down. Miss, go get her a chair.
Have a drink with us.
Looks like a group date is about to start.
She's my precious daughter. I propose a toast.
- All right then. Cheers. - Cheers.
- Hold it there.
Why is your glass at the very top?
When you have a toast with someone in a higher position,
you hold your glass with both hands.
And make sure your glass is placed lower than that person's glass.
So if he brings it up here,
yours would be here.
If he brings it here? Here.
- If he brings it here? - Here.
That's right.
What? If 100 people are here, then what?
Does the lowest kid have to get to the first floor
on an elevator and then toast? And then what?
The person in the highest position gets on a ladder here and toast?
- You're a pain in the neck. - Why (nan de - with a naan)?
- Listen up. - Nan de?
Naan de?
What was the secretary doing (with naan)?
- What? - What?
- The secretary with naan... - It's nothing.
It's nothing...
Please help yourself.
How old are you?
- I'm 32. - That's a good age. Do you have a boyfriend?
Please.
I heard you were friends. With that woman
who took responsibility for food poisoning and bared her boobs.
- Her name's Fujimura Satsuki. - How's she doing?
I'll treat you sometime. Why don't you bring her with you?
- Oh, she quit, didn't she? - Yes, she did.
I guess a thing like that happened, and it ended up that way, but
she should find things like that interesting instead.
- Since our company's sports oriented. - That's right.
- That's our corporate culture, right? - Yes.
People bare their ass as soon as they start drinking. Going stark naked after a mistake
-happens all the time, right? - If you'd like,
- shall I strip down now? - Not now.
- That's too bad. - You need to have that, what they call playful spirit?
Women get mad right away with a serious look on their face.
She had...nice boobs too.
Please leave.
Does this restaurant tell its customers to leave?
I know.
There aren't too many times
a restaurant tells its customers to leave.
One of those times is when noxious insects creep in.
Tanaka, what do you think you're saying to the President?
Tanaka-san.
Why don't you be my mistress?
- Please leave. - I'll give you 3 million yen a month.
I've taken a liking to you.
The restaurant seems to be having trouble. I'll help you out.
Get out.
What?(Is it naan)
Chef, it's done.
It's ready to go.
Just a minute.
Paaka-chan. Why don't you take it yourself?
Tell him these are the dishes I made, and give him a smug look.
Please leave.
How about a 1-month trial period to start out with?
Ameki-san.
All the employees at this restaurant have their own different feelings.
Our goals are different too.
There's someone who ended up here while looking for a place to belong.
There's someone who decided to work for her child's sake.
There's someone who's working as if rebelling against something.
I'm doing this in order to realize my friend's dream.
She was so bitterly frustrated and angry.
But all she could do was cry. I'm doing this to realize that friend's dream.
Her dream was to take revenge on you, Ameki-san.
I started this restaurant to settle an old score for her.
- Oh, I see. - Hey, does that mean
you're going to beat our company that has an annual business of 30 billion yen?
Yes, we're going to win.
Oh yeah?
I have a favor to ask. Do you have a charger here?
Hey, Chika. Come on over.
You brought that out for me, right? Bring it over here.
I can't let you have this after all.
Because this isn't fodder for pigs.
This is Fujimura Satsuki-san's dish.
Oh dear.
- Do you have a charger at your place? - Yes, we do.
- The bill, please. - It's fine.
Well, it's your turn next to take off your clothes.
- Thanks for the food. Shall we go? - Yes.
Leave. Leave.
Karasumori-san. That's Mediterranean sea salt.
What was that for!
I don't recall doing anything, but
I'm told, "We're dating, aren't we?"
I get patted on the head every day.
And hey, hey, hey. Look, look, look.
See? I don't know why, but he sends me selfies every day.
- All from the same angle. - This guy's pretty cool.
What, are you bragging how popular you are again?
Knowing Airi's personality, that's definitely it.
Well, I guess so.
Putting on a sweet face to everyone is important.
Airi's strong that way. Right?
- Yeah. - A woman's worth is determined by
how much she gets treated to anything.
Splitting the bill means defeat for a woman. Ultimately, defeated women
either have a guy wearing jeans with frayed cuffs take pachinko money from her, or
start photography and take pictures of jelly fish.
We're terribly sorry.
We are asking our customers to refrain from bringing small children.
We're very sorry.
Have a safe trip home.
Why don't they eat at home when they have kids, huh?
I know, right?
Ikebe-san, that's my locker.
I tidied it up for you.
What shall we go eat?
My stomach hasn't been feeling too well.
I see.
I'll get rid of this.
Hey. Hey, wanna go home together?
I'm heading out to Roppongi.
- I'm leaving first, good bye. - What? Why Roppongi?
Huh? Why? Roppongi with Nitta-san?
Ikebe-kun has a good head on his shoulders and
he's also kindhearted. You're a perfect couple. No wonder your skin
has a healthy glow. See you then.
Monji-san?
How's your stomach?
Not quite well yet.
Here.
You went through the trouble of buying this for me?
Yeah. But that kind of pain
is hard for men to understand. I had to ask someone at the store
For headaches and menstrual cramps.
Is it like a dull pain?
I'm wondering why.
I mean, we went out to eat a few times, right?
What's wrong? Did something else unpleasant happen?
Personally, I...how do I say, um...
I did go out to eat with you, but eating out is in a category called eating out, and...
- Monji-san. - Sorry, sorry.
Hey...
Go straight home today
and take it easy.
Okay.
The moment you hand a bento directly to someone is when you get a sense of satisfaction, don't you think?
- Why don't you come with us too, Haiji-san? - Who, me?
No need for me to go.
Really?
Welcome. Welcome.
Would you like one?
Welcome. - It comes with soup and baguette, all for 500 yen.
Excuse me. I'll take one.
- Would you like beef or fish? - I'll take the beef.
The soup's hot. Please be careful.
Welcome.
We did well if we sold 10 on our first day.
Quite a few customers came from nearby businesses.
I hope they come again tomorrow.
- Do you work around here? - Yes.
Then uh...we have a restaurant nearby. Please try that out too.
Tama-chan, let's do it with a little more care.
This is ready.
Welcome.
One of each, right? That will be 1,000 yen.
Thank you.
Hamburger? Certainly.
They should just switch over to a bento shop.
- Sold out all 30! - We did it!
They said they'll come to the restaurant for dinner next time.
Let's sell 50 next!
Nitta-san?
It's Nitta-san. Hey!
- That's how it is now. [TEL] I can't come to the phone right now...
Nitta-san looked good, didn't she?
Welcome.
It comes with soup and baguette for 500 yen.
Oh well, there are days like this too.
- Hi. - Hi.
If you don't mind, please eat this.
- Are you sure we can have all this? Thank you. - Please have this too.
- How about a bento? - Welcome.
Oh well, there are days like this too.
If you don't mind, please eat this.
Can we have them again? Thank you.
Welcome. How about a bento?
We have meat and fish. Welcome.
Oh well, it's one of those days.
- Thank you. - Please have this too.
There are days like this...
Tamako.
We're lost in a labyrinth of time.
Otherwise, why would they stop selling so suddenly.
Oh! The people who used to buy from us.
Symphonic?
450 yen for this?! No matter how you look at it, that's below cost.
They can do it because they have financial resources.
- They're out to run us out of business. - Let's think of something else.
They sure come up with a lot of things.
We'll do it for 3,000 yen.
3,000 yen will be below cost.
Destroying their restaurant is first priority right now.
- Look at this. - What? 3,000 yen?
String quartet?
Drain the lobster cuit for 3 minutes.
The foie gras portion is 50 grams.
Then you can all leave for today.
Good night.
I'll settle for Hoshino-kun. Let's go home together.
Sorry, I'm off to Roppongi now.
What is this? You've been saying Roppongi, Roppongi.
It's a secret, okay? I'm starting a venture.
Pretty soon, I'll be...
See you!
But if I was talking intimately with another girl
or was being talked to using honorific language, you'd be curious too, wouldn't you?
I've always used honorific language, haven't I?
Before, when you e-mailed me, there used to be emoji hearts.
But lately, there's none.
Last train. Gotta catch the last train.
Do you know? "Nearly equal." Almost the same.
A woman has to be nearly equal to the guy she's going out with.
If he's a lawyer, I'm a nearly equal attorney.
If he's a neurosurgeon, I'm a nearly equal neurosurgeon.
If he's unemployed, no matter what kind of a job I have,
I'm nearly equally unemployed. Basically,
a woman's worth is determined by how much men foot the bill in her lifetime.
For a woman who's on the same level as you,
- give her a sweater that makes her look fat. - Do you want to get going soon?
Yeah, we should.
Say, does your door lock automatically?
I should've switched to a door that locks automatically too.
Mom? I saw you left a voice mail for me.
At the house? Phone call? From who?
Ikeda? Isobe?
What? Ikebe? What?
Wh...huh? Why Ikebe?
Why? Why does Ikebe-san know that number?
What? Why? About what?
Sorry. I'll call you back later.
Good evening.
Monji-san, are you spending the night here? Is it okay if I spend the night here too?
I won't do anything. I promise I won't do anything, so can I?
Shall we go to karaoke?
...or pull an all nighter at a darts bar?
You've been making fond for a while now.
It's getting favorable responses from the customers.
I don't think you need to change the taste anymore.
I'm not doing this for the customers.
I'll help. I'll do the dishes.
I can wash these, right? I'll wash them.
Monji-san, you're so sweet. But it's all right.
My mom gets mad at me if I do dishes wearing rubber gloves.
My family lives in a secluded village in the sticks, so word gets around in a day that
Kawana-san's daughter was washing nappa cabbage wearing rubber gloves.
My mom will be looked down with disdain...
Do you mind if I talk?
You've been talking all this time.
I know, right? Monji-san, do you want to go karaoke?
Damn! I thought for a second there that we became closer.
Then, then, then, then. Then I'll talk about hobbies.
Monji-san, you like bikes, don't you? Do you, like, take long rides?
Monji-san, you surf too, right?
I've tried bodyboarding.
Monji-san, which beach do you usually go to?
Monji-san, why are you ignoring me?
Monji-san, do you still like Tanaka Tamako-san?
You look like you're competing with her.
When Tanaka-san started selling bento, you started bento too.
When Tanaka-san decided to do Valentine, you did too.
That's how you were to start out with, right?
Before you started here, you two were seeing each other.
But Tanaka-san criticized your cooking.
Like it didn't come from your heart. And then things got awkward.
Isn't it that? What they call your pride as a man.
- But the truth is, you still like... - Leave.
- Monji-san, do you want to go karaoke? - I told you to leave.
When you go to karaoke, what do you sing?
- I sing "Amagigoe." - That's enough.
If you don't go to karaoke with me, I'm not going home.
I can't go home even if I want to.
Don't take lightly a woman living alone in Tokyo.
You don't have to like me. I don't care if I'm No. 2.
You're disgusting.
I know.
Good night.
Hey, you can sleep in the back...
Excuse me. Are you feeling ill?
Hey, Missy. How about it for 30,000 yen?
Kawana-san?
Kawana-san! Kawana-san!
- Kawana-san! - Unless you're a newscaster married to a baseball player,
we're all losers.
Hi there!
Why is The Ear here?
- I just ran into her. - Here you go.
- Thank you. - Kawana-san, you'll have one too, won't you?
Yes, thank you.
Free beer is the best.
If you have people treat you all the time,
you'll just end up belittling other people or belittling yourself.
Is this a lecture?
- Should I sit up straight? - There's no need for that.
I wouldn't have anyway. I just asked.
Since you're letting me stay for food and beer,
I'll tell you something good.
I know a way you can beat our restaurant.
Really?
There's only one way you can win.
All you have to do is wear swimsuits.
If you serve the customers in a swimsuit and shake their hands,
you'll get a lot of customers. Do you get that?
- That is the right way for women to win. - Die.
Don't mind her.
- Paaka-chan isn't double-faced. - That means
either way, she's thinking "Die," right?
- She means in the worst case scenario, die. - I see.
Suffer and die.
I'm not wrong, you know. The reason being,
because I'm not wrong.
You'll take a bath after you're done with your drink, right?
Tama-chan.
You're nice to The Ear today.
Am I? Take your time and get warm.
I'll get a chill on the way home if I take a bath.
- You'll spend the night here, won't you? - Oh, no. I'm not staying.
Hey, listen. I have a pajama with a print of Nicholas Cage's face and
a regular pajama. Which would you like?
If I had a choice, the regular one, of course.
Why do you have something like that?
I've been a big fan of Cage forever.
So why did someone like that fall in love with him?
I'm going home.
Why are you trying to act tough?
I'm not trying to act tough.
Huh? Why?
- Why did you think I was trying to act tough? - Women can tell
when a woman's trying to act tough. Right?
What's with that condescending attitude?
It only goes to reason that you'll never get married
living with women in a place like this.
...but, why do you have such a condescending attitude?
Why won't you wear a swimsuit?
My heart is always wearing a swimsuit.
I won't say anything at all even if someone touches my butt.
I graduated from a training school that taught me to feel nothing when someone touches my butt.
Even when someone tells me, "Men don't like that kind of clothes,"
I graduated from a training school that taught me to
respond, "Oh, I'm sorry. I'll be more careful."
I also went to a training school that taught me to
smile and play dumb when someone says "Lose weight" or "Let me have a piece."
My wallet is stuffed with certificates.
If you get groped by a pervert, it's your fault for wearing a skirt.
Refusing an invitation for dinner from a man you don't like
is a no-no because you'd look like a snotty delusional woman.
If you get sexually harassed, that person
only wanted a sense of warmth, so let's forgive him.
He didn't mean any harm so letting it go and accepting it
is the right thing to do. Do you know why
Shizuka-chan (character in Doraemon) is always friends with a loser guy,
and a cocky rich guy, and a guy who gets violent?
Do you know why she doesn't stay angry for long
even when someone takes a peek when she's taking a bath?
Do you know why she doesn't have any girl friends?
I think she must have a lot of certificates too.
Women who live smart and strong
- aren't bothered, forgive, and accept. - Don't let them touch you.
Because your body,
everything from your hair to your breast to your bottom, belongs to you alone.
Don't let someone you don't like touch you.
Here, and here, and here too... your heart's packed in there.
Your heart belongs to you alone.
Don't let someone you don't like touch it.
People who say don't let it bother you
are trying to kill your heart.
Real strength can't be measured by a term
that's convenient for men like jyoshiryoku (ability to be feminine).
Spend the night here. Tell us your story.
When women get together, they always want to comfort each other like this.
Like, you're okay just the way you are, or it's okay to be alive.
Can you please write down things like that
on a calendar in the bathroom. All I wanted to do
was sing at karaoke!
She's something else.
- Plate for sea urchin. - Pardon me? Oh, plate for sea urchin.
Thanks.
Sanzenin-san, please loosen the crabmeat.
Haiji-san, I picked the strawberries.
- I'll go wash them. - Thanks.
What's this? You're not valentining at all.
It's only 6:30 yet.
A lovers' night is just beginning.
Oh look. A line's forming.
We're going to be valentining from now.
We're sorry, but we're asking that
you refrain from bringing small children. Please come again.
We're terribly sorry.
Hoshino. Strawberries.
It's cold, isn't it? I'm sorry. I'll get you some hot tea.
Shall I play something?
- Since you're all here. - Yes, please.
- Your hands aren't moving. - I'm sorry.
- Welcome. - Excuse me.
- We have children with us. - How many in the party?
Two adults and two children, but one's a baby.
Do you have a stroller? Let me give you a hand.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Excuse me. This is your welcome soup.
We have four families. There are seven children,
two are babies. 8 orders of Valentine Course for the adults please.
Chef, can you prepare a children's plate?
- Yes. - Thanks.
There are two children who have allergies.
One is allergic to nuts, and the other is allergic to shrimps.
- Crab is fine. - Got it.
That's all. Please make sure to confirm the ingredients.
Sanzenin-san, please prepare the amuse bouche and appetizers.
Say, Tama-chan.
Maybe...
Excuse me. If you'd like,
we will take responsibility and take care of your children in another room.
Why don't you enjoy your Valentine dinner for a while with each other?
Shall we?
Okay, everyone.
Let's have dinner together here, okay?
Let's eat.
- No one's allergic to cacao. - Got it.
For the salad, please add croutons instead of nuts.
Dinner's ready.
You look like you're having fun the most.
- Come join us, Karasumori-san. - Me too? Okay.
Excuse me. This is salmon poele.
Enjoy.
- Excuse me. How is your dinner? - It's very good.
Really? Thank you.
You're so cute.
They ate everything.
- Everything got ate up! Look, Haiji-san. - That's great!
They're ready to go.
- This is your Valentine Special Sweets. - They look too pretty to eat.
Everything on here can be eaten.
Look what I have here.
It's a cake. Let's eat.
- It's really delicious. - I'm glad you like it.
- It's delicious. - Thank you.
Chika-chan, Haiji-san. The customers are calling for you.
They would like to meet the chef and pastry chef who made the wonderful food.
- Chika-chan, you go. - No way.
- Haiji-san. - No need for me to go.
- Why? - Because if I show up, you know.
- Just go, just go. - Huh? It's okay.
- Just go, just go. Hurry. - What? Wait.
This is our pastry chef, Oshimazuki.
I'm Oshimazuki.
Thank you for coming to our restaurant today.
Happy Valentine's Day.
What are you doing? Stop that...
You should go out there too, Paaka-chan.
I'd rather commit hara kiri than do that.
Good job.
We are in the red for 68,303 yen today.
It can't be helped with a unit price of 3,000 yen.
I swear, what is he obsessed with?
Can you come to the park over there later?
Okay.
I will now announce today's sales.
We're in the black for the very first time.
It was worth all the hard work.
How much in the black?
- 110 yen. - You can't even buy a can of juice.
Oh, come on.
If we can have a night like tonight
tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and that day after that
and gradually more,
and the results can be seen, and
if we can hope to see more nights like today,
there's no other job that's as wonderful as this.
Ikebe-san?
Come over here.
I'm sorry. I...
I can't reciprocate your feelings...
Today's Valentine's Day, but
I want to say it first.
Airi.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
I did all this for you.
I'm sorry. It's disgusting.
All I feel is disgust.
Sorry.
Shall we go?
This isn't an office, is it?
You don't want to? I got a referral, but you wanna pass on it?
I couldn't get funding anywhere else, so this is our last resort.
My name is Nitta.
Uh...we were referred to you by Yoneda-san.
We heard you might be interested in
funding a venture business.
Excuse me.
- Excuse me. - Oh, you come this way.
They'll tell you what to do inside.
What are you doing? Without asking.
I'm borrowing a plate.
Eat. Eat and give me your answer.
- Huh? Answer what? - Quit this restaurant.
Quit working.
What in the world are you talking about?
Quit work and be my wife.
Eat and give me your answer.
