(Masa) summer of 1940
there was a draft paper for Tatsuhiko
Sakurako promised the marriage with Tatsuhiko
but soon after taht Tatsuhiko joined the artillery regiment in Toyohashi
and went away from Sakurako
♬～
(Kane) hello! (Sakurako) yes!
Mistress
Sakurako san, would you come to our shop?
(Fueko) please come in no, thank you
I came here to collect Sakurako san
would you come with me, please!? please
Mistress, what can I do for you?
don't worry, just come with me
please
ah...Mistress? ah...Mistress!
please go in
please
(Kiyoshi) ah sit down!
hello everyone
let me introduce, this is Sakurako Arimori san
our young mistress
aye!? (Kiyoshi) young mistress
(Nogiyama) what do you mean, Mistress?
what's this? "young mistress?"
why are you confused?
you promised the marriage with Tatsuhiko
yes, I did, but...
he asked me to
take care of you and your family
in his absence
well, being engaged means a half married
we did the celebration as well!
I see (Senkichi) I see!
young master has engaged before joining the army!
congratulations
congratulations, young mistress! (everyone) congratulations
thank you very much
this way we can keep the reputation of "Yamacho"
this is really a happy event!
(clap)
this is a living room and this is a drawing room
as to cleaning the drawing room
we can't really rely on servants
well... what about today...
it's very good now everyone knows you
there a person I want you to meet come with me
ah...
come!
they are our maids, Okiyo and Oyumi
and she is Otami
she's been providing meals for a long time
she retired 18 years ago and moved to the country
in fact we have VIPs
from government next week
as to miso dishes, nobody does better than her
I asked her to come for this occasion
learn all the house work from cooking to laundry from her
I'll teach you manners and etiquette
♬～ (Tami Yoshimura)
how do you do?
(Ofumi) we are welcoming a young mistress
and get to know each other
she is going to stay at our place tonight
the mistress said "please do not worry"
excuse me good bye
(Momoko) who is "young mistress?" Sakura chan? by any chance
who else?
♬～
pickles are ready yes
♬～
what are you doing? get some dishes!
ah... yes
♬～
is this the one? ah!
what are you doing? sorry, excuse me!
♬～
(sigh)
you are slovenly
you should never show something like that in front of others
that's what Mistress is
but I am not Mistress yet
you are engaged with young master, Tatsuhiko, aren't you?
that's true...
that means you'll marry into this family
you are to marry the head of miso shop
how can you not to be a mistress?
(Kane) that's right, Otami
Sakurako san, I want you to look at the warehouse now
yes
♬～
Mistress! hello!
hello! keep on
you are a grandchild of Toku san
you used to come here when you were a kid
yes, I remember
that's the barrel you fell into
♬～
Sen san! please explain it to her
well, please climb up
yes
our summer is hotter and more humid than other places
it's important to take care like that
for the same reason, when we mix mold from rice and wheat
miso goes bad easily in summertime
we must prepare it using as little water as possible mixing with only soybeans
otherwise it won't become good miso
because of that it takes longer to mature compare to other miso
but the flavor from soybeans is much better
it's used at best high class restaurants
as gourmet for knowledgeable customers
but...
but?
"Hacho Miso" is considered as a luxury item, so the future of it is
not so bright...
Kiyoshi san!
you surprised me! what is it?
I made some rice balls from lunch left over I thought it's time to get little hungry
thanks
well, I've changed my hairstyle didn't you notice?
well, you might be right
that suits you that suits you
I'm coming in!
this is your bedroom
you share it with Tami san
I stay here tonight? that's right
it's impossible I didn't come here for that
or didn't tell my older sisters about it
I'm going home
♬～
Mistress! Mistress!?
(Kane) Otami! don't let her go!
yes
(Iso) Sakura chan was taken away by Kane Matsui!?
a maid from "Yamacho" showed up saying
"Sakurako is getting to know the people at the shop
and stay there tonight, so don't worry"
we couldn't say anything after that
that's suspicious "stay overnight"
I'll go there to find out
♬～
welcome! Sakura chan! is Sakura chan there?
(Nogiyama) wait... Miss Arimori
Sakura chan! where are you hiding her? wait! Sakura chan!
I'll get Mistress now, so please wait!
no, what?
♬～
one, two! hip up! one, two! use arm!
one, two! Sakura chan!
ah, aunt... who are you?
as I thought!
let's go home! (Kane) wait a minute!
get out our way
why should I? this is my house
you brought her by force and make her do such things
what are you thinking? just bullying!
this is Tatsuhiko's wife not a stranger
what are you talking about?
Sakura chan and Tatsuhiko san aren't married yet!
dressed up and promised the marriage in front of everyone
it's the same as marriage!
to prevent from that happening
Tatsuhiko san protected Sakura chan
let's go!
(Kane) if you want to go home, just go
I have no intention of tying you here
till Tatsuhiko
comes back
I only wanted to see a girl
Tatsuhiko fell in love with has wonderful guts
and ability suitable for Tatsuhiko
if she runs away after only this she has no guts!
everyone! sorry about this mess
it was my mistake to introduce you as a young mistress
ah! Tatsuhiko fell in love with unworthy girl
(Iso) don't listen to her, Sakura chan
this is her way
is it really only to test my guts?
that's right
♬～
I see I accept the challenge
(Iso) Sakura chan!
♬～
I'll do it training at miso shop
♬～
Sakurako training as a young mistress without Tatsuhiko
was about to start
