"Our family of 6..."
"...was going to make a fresh start at our new store in Azumino."
- Nice, isn't it? - Yes.
Ah... Not bad.
Yeah!
Hinako, we'll be living here starting today.
I'm happy!
What do you think, Kyoko-chan?
It's beautiful.
Will it be okay for me to be here, too?
Ah... What are you saying?
Of course you can.
I'm so happy!
- Are you sure? - Yes!
Still...
Huh?
Will customers come out here?
Don't know.
That's true.
- Eh? - They'll come, they'll come!
They will come, right!
Okay! Then let's make a lot of calls.
Yes, yes!
Yes!
Ahh!
You had arrived here at last, right!
Yes.
By the way, Yoko-san.
You got this house in 1950?
Well, well, well, isn't it from the prewar days then?
Well, we made a lot of fixes to it.
Ehh!
Long ago, they made the insides of this house quite sturdy, didn't they?
Ah, then that means...
...that you've been here all this time since 1950?
Yeah. Well, that is a long time, isn't it?
How many years is that?
Wait, wait. It's best not to count that up, Fusako-chan.
- Geez! - Yes!
There is that, isn't there?
Hmm...
So you remodeled what had been a normal home...
...and turned it into a soba restaurant, right?
Well, we made a lot of different things here; many different things.
And what about the soba field your father dreamed of?
We got that as well!
Really. That's just on the other side there; and Takeo-kun helped us out on that.
Ehh...!
Of course at first we served soba we had gotten elsewhere...
...but, let's see, starting about the following year...
...we were able to serve soba that had come from our own fields.
We were so happy.
Even now, we still serve the soba we get from here.
Eh? Um, this soba, too?
Yes, of course!
Ehh... It's so delicious!
Ala, really? Well, I'm glad.
Whaa!
So you were able to make your father's dream...
...come true all this time.
Thank goodness!
That's wonderful!
Well, life is interesting, isn't it?
Yes.
Interesting.
After all, Kazunari-san...
Eh?
Ah...
Um... What something interesting happened to Kazunari-san?
Look, um... That's still ahead.
Eh? Eh, what happened to Kazu-san?
Who knows?
Ah, thank you.
"And now I'll tell you how we came up with the name of the store itself."
"A Few Days Before"
"Maruyama" is no good?
Yeah. I was thinking the same thing.
After a lot of trouble, we've turned a new leaf.
So a new name is needed. Right?
Yeah, that's right.
We went through so much, after all.
I see.
A new name, huh...
Can we come up with something good?
Hmm?
Ah! She's the one!
Yoko-sensei!
Eh? Me?
Well, that'd be impossible for me.
No, no... I'm sorry.
Yeah, I see.
Ah...
Huh?
Maybe we should ask that person?
Who?
Ah!
Yeah!
That person.
Ah...
Okay! That's it.
Say, say! It's come, it's come!
It's come! Oh!
Now! Here, here.
It's here, it's here.
"Hyaku" (100)
"Shiro" (White)
"Hana" (Flower)
"This is read as 'Hyakubyakka.'"
"There probably is no such word."
"I made it up."
"Like the white soba flowers, which are never gaudy..."
"...it says this will be a store where everyone can feel at ease."
"The 'Hyaku' (100) is for the many customers who will come."
"But without being so greedy as to want thousands to come."
"It says, 'It may be small, but this store wants you to love it deeply.'"
"That is the meaning I put into it."
"Hyakubyakka." (One Hundred White Flowers)
Hyakubyakka.
It's like a pun.
It has a deep meaning. Oh, this is good. Right!
I guess asking your Grandmother was the right thing to do, wasn't it?
Yes!
"Hyakubyakka"
Now, now, let's start.
Let's start!
Shall we do it?
Let's work together.
Yes!
We'll have you putting in the water again.
Yes.
Quickly, quickly.
Has to be even. It has to be stirred evenly.
- Yes, evenly. - Like that, like that.
Ah, add in the water.
Ah, yes.
Don't put in too much. Don't put in too much.
Ah, while putting the water in by hand, move your hand around.
- Move my hand. - A little more than half.
Half is fine.
Ah, that's enough. Yes, yes.
That's good! Yeah!
Oi, Kazunari. Watch how she uses her hands, too.
Her hands, her hands.
What are you saying?
Like you taught me, she's turning in the water using only the fingertips.
No, no, that's not what I told you.
- No, that's what you said. - I didn't say that.
Look, isn't it better to concentrate on the speed of the water than with talking about all that?
- No good, no good! The water's still good. - That's right.
- Why? - Never mind that.
Where now? Now, now, now...
Ah, excuse me!
You're fighting...
It's been a long time since I was a student.
Ah moreover, not only am I a student, I'm a teacher to 3 people.
That's true.
- If you would, please. - Yes.
Please do.
Then, this. Here! Is this fine?
Ah, don't interrupt.
Kazunari, that's no good. Just be quiet and watch attentively.
Evenly, evenly, stir, stir...
"It was difficult, but fun."
"But, before I could serve my soba at the store..."
"...I still had a ways to go yet."
Mix, mix, use your fingertips, evenly, evenly, evenly...
Evenly, evenly...
"But, back in Tokyo at that time..."
Unfair discrimination hasn't changed at all from what it was before the war!
The source of that is the unchanging ways of men's thinking!
What's that?! Oi!
Women are only regarded as cheap labor!
They are exploiting a woman's weakness in that they can't live without working!
That's right!
What is that?! Stop it!
I will firmly protest this!
It's because of this that you can't get married.
- That's right, that's right! - Go, before you miss your chance!
Who said that just now?!
Come out like a man and fight fair and square!
Okay! I'll fight you with my power!
Please stop being so violent! Please stop being so violent!
What are you doing? Come with me!
Why do I have to do what you say?!
Never mind that and come!
Wait a minute.
I have nothing to do with this person.
I congratulate you on your opening.
Congratulations.
- Well, thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
- Thank you very much.
It's a good restaurant, isn't it?
We enjoy you saying so.
We really couldn't be under your care for any longer.
Well, well, it's true that we're thankful to you.
- We appreciate what you've done. - Truly.
What are you saying?
I'm happy.
I'm happy there's a great soba restaurant that I can easily reach by walking.
I'm happy!
Please come and be a customer.
Yeah. Thank you, too.
I'm happy as well that all of you will be staying here in Azumino.
Thank you very much.
Ah, Takeo said he'd be dropping by later, too.
Really? Ah, I'm so happy!
Good afternoon!
Ah... Machiko!
Congratulations.
Thank you very much. Whaa!
Since it's "Hyakubyakka," I've brought you some white flowers.
I'm so happy! Thank you!
Ah, Hatano said he'd come by later.
Along with Kayo-san and her husband.
Ah, and I told my father that he must diligently show up as well.
Ala, my, thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
I told him that myself, too.
Ala! Then, he'll be sure to come.
Yes.
Thank you very much!
- Welcome! - Welcome!
Oh! The two Kanbanmusume's have come. (the pretty girl who attracts boys to stores)
- What will you have? - What will you have?
I wonder if I can leave that to Hinako?
"Time for 'Street Recordings.'"
Speaking of which, I haven't heard Ikuko's voice on the radio recently.
That's true, isn't it?
She stuck out too much.
They wouldn't put her on every time they aired.
Well, you may be right.
I wonder if Ikuko-san is doing okay?
Right!
"Migi no POKKE nya yume ga aru In my right hand pocket is my dreams"
"Hidari no POKKE nya CHUUINGUM In my left hand pocket is my chewing gum"
Ah, welcome!
This is soba restaurant, right?
Yes! Please come here.
- Welcome! - Welcome!
Ala, my, hello there! You're cute!
- Welcome! - Welcome!
Welcome!
Eh! You're quite busy here.
We just opened today.
Please patronize "Hyakubyakka" from here on!
If you would, please!
