Three Kotteri, please!
Yes!
I've been looking forward to Tenichi's kotteri ramen!
It's rare to hear that from you, Yu!
It's cause I wanted to eat here last!
Last?
Oh, it's nothing.
Thank you for waiting. Here is your kotteri ramen.
You can tell it's kotteri at a glance!
Itadakimasu.
Itadakimasu!
As expected, I like Koizumi-san when she eats ramen.
What are you saying?
Anyway, what is this ramen? It's super rich! Pork?
-This is not pork. -Eh? It isn't?
This soup is from chicken and vegetables that are carefully stewed.
It originated in 1971 in Kitashirakawa in Kyoto.
Starting from one stall...
...it has expanded from Hokkaido to Okinawa, and even to Hawaii.
It is a major force in the world of ramen.

This is bad! This is bad! Important News!
Koizumi, this is bad!
Yu is transferring schools.
I heard teachers talking about her transfer to Sapporo.
-Did you hear anything? -No, nothing.
Fourth Bowl: Changing Schools
Yes.
It's Yu.
Yes.
When this semester is finished, it will be farewell, right?
Hey, Yu...
Wanna go eat ramen?
Not today.
Then, wanna go eat something sweet?
You like red bean paste, right, Yu? We went there before.
Not that either, sorry.
I have something to do.
See ya'.
Hey, Koizumi.
Is there something we can do?
I heard from our teacher that the transfer will be at the end of semester...
...so let's send Yu off with a surprise!
A surprise?
Koizumi-san...
How to make ramen?
Right! Let's ask how to make ramen from a shop.
Then we'll make Yu a delicious ramen meal!
Just what are you talking about?
All of the shops are making an effort and fighting desperately, trying to create original and delicious ramen.
If random students like us came and said...
..."Excuse me, please tell us how to make ramen"...
Would that not be impossible?
Please stop making a fool of ramen!
Koizumi, you're scary!
Ah! But, perhaps that is a good idea.
Thanks for waiting. It's Beji Soba.
Please enjoy it.
Itadakimasu!
Super delicious! This is the first time I've seen ramen this pretty!
The owner of this Soranoiro shop held a ramen classroom.
Really? But isn't this kind of authentic ramen difficult?
Of course, not the shop's ramen...
...but ramen from simple materials that have been arranged for the public.
That's good! Then, let's learn...
-...and make delicious ramen for Yu. -Understood.
The surprise will be on the last day of the semester.
Koizumi, this is really authentic! Beautiful!
All of you came to learn too?
It's because Miyazaki-san will teach personally.
That's enough reason to come, isn't it?
-Miyazaki-san? -The owner of Soranoiro,
After he became an apprentice at that famous Hakata Ippudo...
...he opened Sorairo.
Using a lot of vegetables in Beji soba...
...the restaurant suddenly rose in the ranks of popularity.
Thanks for waiting.
I'm Miyazaki.
Today, I'll teach you an easy way to make delicious ramen.
-It is a pleasure to meet you. -Nice to meet you!
The material for today's soup is just Pork Boston Butt.
This is enough to make a delicious soup.
The pork is boiled for 1.5 hours over low heat.
Then you pull it out.
The decisive factor of the taste is only the broth.
Turn off the fire once the pork is boiled.
Put the boiled pork...
...in some dark soy sauce, and wait for 30 minutes.
This time, the main noodles are hand-made.
Hand-made.
Blend the hard flour and soft flour...
...put it in a bowl...
...and pour water in three times.
When you knead, have your hands like a cat.
Keep this finger form when you knead the powder.
In other words, meow!
Even though you're really familiar with ramen...
...you're helpless when making it, huh, Koizumi?
It's because eating and making it are two different things.
This feels good!
Hooray! It's done!
Itadakimasu.
Itadakimasu!
Delicious!
These are traditional Chinese noodles.
The soup comes up to here with fewer materials!
Ahh, I'm tired!
But we're going to make delicious ramen and make Yu happy!
Actually, I have something to say.
That ramen...
Is it okay to give it to Yu-san as it is?
What are you saying? That ramen was delicious!
Of course she will be happy!
That was Miyazaki-san's ramen.
It was not our ramen.
No way... we can't use that recipe and make it from scratch!?
No, it's not like that.
For example, the toppings...
I think we need to add something that shows our originality.
Ah, I see.
I agree! Let's think of something surprising that will make Yu happy!
Yes.
If we try all of this, we can definitely find something good!
Since Yu is going to Sapporo...
...instead of pork, I used jingisukan.
It's delicious, but I want it to be a bit more surprising.
With that in mind... tah-dah!
I tried adding Sashimi!
It is not very surprising, is it?
There is Papapapapain's pineapple ramen...
...so how about Frufrufrufruit ramen?
N-n-n-n-no way! Tha-tha-tha-tha-that's right.
Ah, it's Yu.
Somehow, Yu looks worn out, right?
Now that you mention it... it feels that way.
So we won't be sad...
...she's keeping the transfer hidden, but...
...Yu is the one hurting the most, isn't she?
All right! We must do our best!
Let's make Yu the most delicious ramen ever!
I wonder if Popcorn is good.
Gyoza is also Chinese, so I thought it would be fitting.
How about putting Miso ramen as a topping for soy sauce ramen?
Do you understand what are you saying?
It's all useless.
There's nothing good!
No. Ramen is a food with unlimited possibilites.
It's just that our effort is not enough.
But, I've reached my limit.
Up 'til now there have been some that we didn't think were so bad.
-Let's just use one of those! -No, I want to...
...let Yu-san eat delicious ramen for the last time.
But... the day after tomorrow is the last day!
If that is the case...
...we must use this.
This!? No, no, we can't use this!
That's impossible!
Please, teach us.
Eh? You want to put this into ramen?
This is my friend's favourite food, and I want to make into a topping.
I wonder if it can be used.
It depends on the burning.
-Ahh, it's finally summer! -Finally.
-Let's go to the beach! -That sounds good!
You know, the truth is...
Yu, we have something to show you.
Ah, Yu!
Come here! Come here! Come here!
Take a seat!
That is... Can it be...
Hand-made ramen. Both of us made it for you, Yu!
Did you know about... that?
Yeah, we knew.
That's why we have been working hard for this day.
Both of you, thanks.
Thank you for waiting.
This is hand-made ramen.
It's red bean cream sauce ramen!
We tried to put your favourite food in, Yu.
Put the red bean paste in the soup and try eating it!
Itadakimasu.
What is this!? Delicious!
-The sweetness is awesome! -Isn't it?
We kneaded the bean jam without sugar and burned it.
Thanks to advice from a professional, we learned a lot of things.
Yes. We removed the sugar from the cream too...
...and we added citron juice for sour taste instead.
It is exactly the perfect cream sauce honey ramen.
I...
I'm really glad we were able to become friends.
Until now, I've never been absorbed in something and had a deep conversation about it...
But since I met you, Koizumi-san, really crazy about ramen...
...my world has widened.
Thanks, Koizumi-san.
You too, Misa.
Come on, eat it quickly, it's getting colder! Come on!
-Delicious, isn't it? -Right, delicious!
That was delicious!
Thanks for the food.
"Take care"?
Um... This is a farewell gift.
What is this?
This is something that I bought for my ramen expedition in Sapporo.
I've put a sticky on the recommended shop.
Ah, not about that...
Why are you giving this to me?
You're going to transfer to Sapporo, aren't you?
Transfer? What?
I'm not transferring out!
But the teachers talked about it in the staff room!
Ah! I heard the Okawa-san in the other class is transferring out.
Eh!? But you were reading a Sapporo guidebook too!
I'm going to visit relatives in Sapporo this summer.
And also, that unfriendly feeling in the past two weeks!
Ah! The truth is, I'm on a diet.
Diet?
After eating ramen with Koizumi-san, I got fatter!
But I want to eat together with everyone during the summer.
So I thought I had to lean out for the time being!
But, every time I saw your faces, Koizumi-san and Misa...
...my determination weakened...
So I avoided both of you a bit.
My diet program is finally over today!
What about the phone call on the stairs?
Yes.
Now is the staganation period of your body weight.
It's the most difficult.
Yes.
When this semester is finished, it will be farewell, right?
That's right.
You can say farewell to this painful diet.
What!? Then that means...
Yu, you looked depressed on the park bench too!
-Right, Koizumi? -Yes.
You looked unsteady, and as if you were sighing.
I told you, the diet was really difficult!
Look!
Look at the result, it's a big success! Just kidding.
Then, then, you're not transferring out, right?
Isn't that obvious?
Then there's no meaning to this ramen.
That's not true!
I'm happy. Thanks!
For you to do something like this for me too, Koizumi-san...
No, I just...
I just did it to explore the world of ramen further.
Here we go again!
Koizumi was awesome!
She said "I want to let Yu eat delicious ramen!"
No way! Koizumi-san said that? I'm impressed!
Hey, hey, because summer vacation starts tomorrow...
...let's all eat delicious ramen together every day!
-Okay! -I refuse.
Ah! She smiled!
-You smiled just now, didn't you, Koizumi-san? -It's the first time other than when she eats ramen!
I am not smiling.
Please return that "Ramen Walker".
No! It has been given to me!
I refuse.
This was the story of Koizumi-san, who loved ramen.
Koizumi-san Observation Diary!
The shops that Koizumi-san went to this time are...
...Tenka Ippin Koenji Shop...
...and Soranoiro Main Shop!
