Episode 159
Oshin had opened an eatery in Sakata with help from the people at Kaga-ya.
But from the very first day,
she'd already lost her confidence to succeed.
She didn't get a single customer.
The following day, she closed her eatery.
Welcome home.
Did you see Oshin?
How is she doing?
The sign said she was closed again today, so I left.
Why? I thought you were going to look in on her?
Oshin is pathetic... Closing up after just one day!
I didn't want to even bother talking to her.
A friend has to help out at a time like this.
I've already done all I could for her.
The rest is up to her!
If she doesn't get back on her feet now,
she'll never succeed at running her own business.
Maybe an eatery wasn't right for her...
But that's what she said she wanted to do!
We've opened an eatery.
You get rice, soup and two dishes. All for 30 sen!
Breakfast is only 20 sen!
We offer other items on our menu, too.
You'll get a lot of good food for your money!
Please come and try us.
Nice to meet you.
We're called Kaga-ya!
Please come and try our food.
We've just opened up.
We're called Kaga-ya!
We open at 6:00 a.m. every morning!
We just opened up. We're called Kaga-ya.
We open at 6:00 a.m. every morning.
I have Masao's new hitoe kimono.* Have him wear it from tomorrow.
Hitoe kimono: Worn June-September.
He's your husband! Pay more attention to him.
I hope he's doing a good job dealing with the Osaka rice dealers.
Osaka businessmen are sharp.
You can't let them get the better of you.
You have to let Masao handle the business.
Otherwise, you and he will have trouble again!
You're back early.
I didn't want to be away too long.
I found these plastered all over the place.
It's an advertisement for Oshin's eatery.
She wrote it herself! I have to give her credit!
Yes, it's Oshin's writing.
She's posting these by herself around town?
That's not all.
She's passing these out to people on the streets.
She is?
It must've been something to see! I wish I could've seen her.
It's not funny! It's an embarrassment!
Why is it an embarrassment?
She has to let people know that she's in business.
That's why she was closed tor the day.
I don't believe this.
I'm glad... She hasn't lost her spirit!
This is no joke!
She's hurting the Kaga-ya name!
She's not doing anything wrong. How can you say that?
I wouldn't mind if she wasn't using the Kaga-ya name!
We're not so small,
that we stand to lose the respect of our clients over something like this!
There's no need for you to be concerned.
Kayo...
I see.
I'm only an adoptive husband. What I say doesn't matter at all!
Kayo!
He's talking like a miserable woman!
Masao is just concerned for the Kaga-ya name.
Then why doesn't he do a better job for us?
Will you open up today?
I've been closed for three days now.
I have to! Otherwise, the food will go to waste.
I don't think those flyers will have an immediate effect.
Maybe not, but I have to open up,
or I would have lied to all those people.
If I get 10 people today,
I stand to make two sen per customer,
- so that's 20 sen! - Then I'll help you.
But you have better things to do!
No, I'm bored doing nothing at home.
I was told to let my husband handle the business.
If I say anything, my husband says he'll lose face.
It's my father's idea.
Mother says I have to honor Masao's feelings.
Mrs. Okayo...
I don't care anymore.
I've been working hard all these years to put Grandma's mind at ease.
She used to be so happy seeing me work.
Now she's gone...
She'd always compare me to you, ever since we were little girls.
I outdid myself competing with you, so she would love me more.
Maybe I'm still a little like that...
But after Grandma died,
I don't care that much about the business anymore.
Since I stopped working, I don't have anything to do.
It's no fun being a woman...
Is the rice ready?
I can cook rice.
- Let me do it! - I can cook rice!
You've made so much. What if we have leftovers?
I can always make rice balls and sell them tomorrow.
I have to get my money back somehow.
That's more like you.
Where is she?
Kayo should be home for her husband!
- She left without saying anything. - We can't be disappointing Masao,
after he's finally starting to show interest in Kaga-ya.
I'm sure she'll be home shortly.
You have to train her better!
Kayo is no longer a child.
I liked it better when Masao wasn't here!
Mino!
It tastes pretty good...
You're a good chef!
I learned all this while working at Kaga-ya.
Your grandmother was very picky about food.
Grandma taught you more things than she taught me.
Thanks to her, running an eatery is no problem for me.
But you should be getting back.
Don't worry about me.
This is the place.
It's a nice place.
Welcome!
Can you serve us?
- What would you like? - We'd like to have six dinner sets.
Shall we broil the fish?
No, cooking them in the pot is quicker.
I'll set the table.
Those free rice balls you gave out were good!
You're the men I gave the rice balls to?
Yeah. That's why we're here. We saw the flyers.
About five more guys will be coming.
- That makes 11 customers! - Yeah.
We're all from the country and we usually make our own meals,
but it's too much trouble.
We wanted to come and try your cooking.
Thank you very much!
The food here is like what your wives make!
That means it's lousy?
You two run this place?
No, it's just me!
I'm just a helper, but I'll be here everyday.
With two pretty girls, you'll make big money!
- I'll cut the pickles. - I can do the rest.
Go check the pot.
Put out five pieces of pickles per person.
I'm sorry she's not home for you.
We'll speak to her when she gets back.
She has never done anything like this before...
I hope she's not with Oshin!
I've sent some people out to look for here.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Here you go.
Welcome!
Make us two of your dinner sets.
Okay.
Do we have enough rice?
- We have enough for two servings. - What if we get more customers?
I'll make more rice.
I'll cook the rice. Go serve the new customers.
Okay.
Welcome!
Another customer?
Mrs. Okayo, I've come to get you.
Good timing. Come in here and help us!
Hurry up and make the fire for the rice!
