Welcome.
Ah, hello.
Makino Shogo
Welcome!
This "Suzufuritei"...
...is a restaurant where delicious Western foods can be eaten at cheap prices.
"Unpretentiously delicious" is their motto.
Igawa Genji
Maeda Hidetoshi
Western foods were already popular in Japan...
Dobi Sauce
...but to Minoru, who had come from Ookuibakari Village, they were completely unknown foods.
Asakara Takako
Do things right.
Yes.
Your menu.
Ah, yes.
This is incredible, isn't it? I've never had Western food before...
...so I'm not sure what would be good.
My! This is an honor.
Whatever you pick will be delicious.
Ah, is that right.
Hide, I'll switch with you!
Yes sir!
I can recommend them all, but how about a beef stew?
Beef? Ah... Ah, that looks delicious, too.
Ah, but, it's a bit expensive...
How about this Hash and Rice? Is that good, too?
Of course it is. A Hash, please!
Yes! One Hash for table 3!
Yes! One Hash!
Okay, one Hash!
One Hash!
Take care of it.
Yes.
Are you from around here?
Ah, no...
Um, the place where I'm staying is nearby...
...but I'm not from this town.
I've come to Tokyo as a migrant worker, and from here I'm going home to harvest the rice.
Is that so? Thank you for your hard work.
No, no...
Where are you from?
Yes, um, Ibaraki.
It's a village in the far, far back north of Ibaraki called Ookuibaraki, and, true to its name...
...it's way back deep in the countryside.
("Ookuibaraki" lit. means "far deep of Ibaraki")
What's your family like?
Yes. My Father, my wife and our three children.
Two girls and a boy, so five of us.
Ah... is that right.
Then, they must be looking forward to it, aren't they?
To having their Father come home.
Oi, Hide, the garoni...
All done!
Garoni = Vegetables added as a relish
Where in Tokyo do you work?
"Where," um... I work at construction sites.
Um, right now I'm working on a building over in Kasumigaseki.
Ah, but there is that.
I've also worked at sites meant for the Olympics National Stadium.
I don't want to boast about that, though.
What are you saying?
It's fine for you to boast about that.
Please boast about it.
While they call it the "Tokyo Olympic Games..."
Well, of course I am looking forward to the Olympics.
But still, "Tokyo" this, "Tokyo" that...
For everyone it's like Tokyo is the only incredible place around.
But I think that's wrong of them.
Things are being built, boom, boom, boom, all around right now...
...but aren't they mostly just being built for the visitors?
So it's fine. Please boast about that.
"I helped build that one." Okay? Please do that.
Ah...
Somehow... when you put it like that, it makes me so incredibly happy.
What's more, this is my first time at speaking like this with a Tokyo person...
That makes me so happy!
A sauce boat!
(boat-shaped vessel used for serving gravy or sauce)
Yes!
Has a nice look to it.
Okay, the hash is ready.
Yes.
Excuse me.
Hash and Rice
Ah, onions, too... Onions.
Um, well then, I'll eat it.
Ah, please do.
What is this? It's so tasty!
Isn't it?
It is!
Yum! This is good!
Okay, the pork is ready.
Yes.
The saute is ready!
Chef!
Yes?
Sho-cha, our sample.
Kenji, the pork. Hide, the olives and pickles!
Yes sir!
Welcome.
This way.
Ah, well... that was delicious! Thank you for the meal.
Not at all.
I want everyone at my home to eat some of that.
They'd be surprised if they ate that. Is this the right amount?
Yes. Thank you very much.
No, thank you.
Ah, here. Take this.
Suzufurikei
Are you sure? Ah... thank you very much.
Ah, it's so pretty...
Thank you very much.
Ah! Thanks for that.
Here, some fried pork cutlet sandwiches. Please give them to your family.
With the store's feelings.
No, I couldn't impose like that...
Please tell your wife that there's enough here to last through tomorrow.
Well, but... This has got me beat.
Tokyo.
So please don't hate Tokyo.
I won't! Thank you very much!
Um, well then, without reserve...
It's not coming...
It's so late...
Let's go sit down.
Not coming yet.
Can't be helped. Since so few buses come here.
Ah!
Can you see him?
I'm looking.
Isn't he coming?
Dad's on board, right?
It's Dad!
Ah! I'm home!
Welcome home!
Dad!
Thank you for coming to pick me up!
Thank you!
Here, a present!
Ah, thank you.
Welcome home.
I'm home.
So long, Minoru!
Oh, thanks!
Jiro-san, thank you!
Yo!
Departing!
Let's go.
I'll carry one.
Huh?
I'll carry one.
No, that's okay.
It's okay, it's okay, I'll take one.
Really? Well, thanks.
You guys doing okay?
I'm fine.
You two have gotten bigger.
Okay! Then here goes! Here, hang on!
Oh! Heavy! Heavy! You have gotten bigger!
Wanna race?
Yeah, let's.
Let's see who's faster.
Be careful!
How's high school going?
Yeah. It's fun.
It's been lots of fun every day for me.
Really?
Yeah. Thank you.
Yeah.
It's Fall already.
That's true, isn't it?
You're talking like an adult, Mineko.
Because I'm already an adult.
Really?
"Really?" you say...
Of course I am.
Dad, how was that?
Oh, that was quick, that was quick. I'm surprised...
Okay, we've arrived!
We're home!
Dad.
Oh... you've come home, huh?
I have returned home.
Yeah.
Welcome home.
I'm home.
Thank you for your hard work. Go and take a bath.
Ah, sorry, I have to go out for a bit.
Eh?
Dad?
Ahh...
This soil is great. This is great soil.
Soil?
The soil of Ibaraki.
Ah... it smells so great.
Oh, what is it? What do you think?
You can't tell?
Soil smells like soil.
Right?
Now, come inside the house.
Right? Let's go.
Okay! Let's take a bath!
Dad...
Dad, you want to be here among the fields and paddies, don't you?
That's true, isn't it? That's a given, isn't it...
Since this is where you were born and raised, isn't it?
So that's just a given, isn't it?
Mineko.
At that time I thought I wanted to become the Prime Minister...
...and make it possible for farmers to be in agriculture.
I didn't become Prime Minister though.
