(Masa) Sakurako and Tatsuhiko are finally engaged
at the party
(everyone) cheers!
next day seeing off by Sakurako and others, Tatsuhiko joined
the artillery regiment in Toyohashi
and one day
Sakurako was taken to "Yamacho" by force
(Kane) this is a young mistress! (Sakurako) aye?
(Kiyoshi) young mistress!?
and she is Otami
she's been providing meals for a long time
learn all the house work from cooking to laundry from her
you share it with Tami san
(Iso) aye!? Sakura chan was taken away by Kane Matsui!?
let's go home! (Kane) wait a minute!
I only wanted to see a girl
Tatsuhiko fell in love with has wonderful guts
and ability suitable for Tatsuhiko
I see I accept the challenge (Iso) Sakura chan!
I'll do it training at miso shop
from that moment, Sakurako's training
(summer, 1940) as a young mistress has started
(noise)
(Tami) you get up at 5 every morning prepare for breakfast, cleaning and laundry
put away the bedding and change
hurry up! ah!
harder! yes!
♬～
(Oyumi) young mistress, please chop the pickles right away yes!
♬～
(Okiyo) that's not quick enough please move away!
ah...sorry please take miso soup, young mistress yes
it was a big job to make breakfast
for so many craftsmen for Sakurako
ah!
♬～
I'm sorry, sorry!
(Senkichi) I'm glad Tami san is back
Tami san's miso soup is nothing but the best!
very true!
itadakimasu! (everyone) itadakimasu!
(everyone) ah!? what's this!?
today's miso soup is different no taste!?
no taste!
if you want to complain, complain to young mistress
to young mistress?
she is the one who made it today
delicious! what a delicious miso soup!
must be something wrong with your taste bud? no way
it's tasty, young mistress!

founded 400 years ago, "Yamacho's" existence is in imminent danger ever
due to the war, the price of soy beans not only increased,
but also the government is trying to restrict the business by price control
price control?
that means the government decides the price of miso we sell
they say "Yamacho miso" is a luxury item,
they are targeting us
if the price is below cost
the more we make, the more we lose
(Kane) it's worse than terrible! we'll be ruined!
the prince of miso is decided at national assembly next month
we must do something about it before that
we invite the members of the Diet
and treat them with miso dishes
fate of the shop depends on the dishes
that's right, Otami yes, it is
to prepare that, we have a meeting with the people in the same trade
be careful in your attentions to the guest! yes!
what kind of person is she?
she is a young mistress, but she can't do anything!
we'd better off
without a person like her!
(Ofumi) mistress has hated her
aye!? she used to say
"she is not suitable for wife"
she only accepted her
because the young master was drafted!
(laughter) stop nonsense!
she and the young master have been in love
with each other for a long time
they went to music school in Tokyo together
music school in Tokyo!? she must be well to do then
her family isn't wealthy,
but the deceased father is a graduate from Tei uni
her older sister was a teacher at girl's HS
she is a suitable lady for the young master (2 people) I see
I hate a woman who talks scandal
I taught you a lot of things so far
,but the main job of the mistress is to be a good host
the way you treat the clients
you must pay attention to a hanging scroll
the things here are all valuable
for example this is a landscape painting by Joko in Muromachi period (1392–1573)
how about this? how wonderful!
♬～
did you just yawn? no
when "Yamacho" is in imminent danger!? immodesty!
I'm sorry
I order you to clean this room
make sure there is no dust before the clients arrive!
yes!
♬～
I did it
somewhat...conservative
♬～
right!

(custoemr) hello welcome!
(custoemr) hello Mr. Nogiyama
hello it's so nice to see you again, sir
thank you so much for coming
please!
thank you so much for coming today
for the sake of miso industry in Okazaki,
we are so honored you chose "Yamacho" to represent the industry
as a mistress I am so grateful from bottom of my heart
in the middle of summer, "ancient god of good catch" is unique
(custoemr) does it have any deep meaning?
♬～
(custoemr) you don't mean to treat
VIPs with that hanging scroll, do you?
I wonder if we made the right choice
to "Yamacho" to represent us
I am sorry, it must be a terrible mistake!
♬～
(Ofumi Sakurako) welcome Sakurako san, about a hanging scroll
ah, yes I've changed it
I thought it was more cheerful
what have you done!
who is this, mistress? ah...
a new maid
I'm afraid she doesn't know anything!
it seems like she is the one who did it (customer) I see
it can't be helped! that's right
(laughter)
here are mails, mistress there is one from Tatsuhiko san!
wow! from Tatsuhiko!
(laughter)
how kind, he wrote me a letter!
let's see
(Tatsuhiko) "Dear mother, I hope you are doing well
I do military training every day and I am fine
yes, he is doing well!
(Tatsuhiko) "what worries me is about Arimori
I hope you are not making her help
the business in the name of training her to be a mistress?"
I sincerely hope you honor the promise
we made before I joined the army"
damn! what's this!? that's all he wanted to say!?
♬～
(Kane) what are you doing!?
don't sneak into someone's room like a thief
I am sorry
(chopping)
what are you doing?
I made another mistake and made the mistress angry again
I must finish this by afternoon
all by yourself?
let me do it
she told me to do it alone
if you helped me, she would be angry at you as well, Kiyoshi kun
just don't tell her
if there is anything I can do for you, just let me know
I am Sakura chan... a young mistress' side
(Kane) you have no right to touch Tatsuhiko's things
get out!
(Kane) I haven't forgotten what happened 18 years ago
♬～
Tami san
do you know Tatsuhiko san, ma'am?
♬～
you must know him when Tatsuhiko san was little
you were here Tami san
good night
Sakurako was worrying about what happened
between Kane and Tami 18 years ago
