Looking for a customer named Yamashita...
A pity Goro-san smokes. This time, the show starts with him already sitting & appreciating his cigarette. Then it says "30 mins earlier..."
This time, Goro-san has come to a seaside town that has no taxi & no bus. Only...
Hai. We get to see him riding a bike for the 1st time. He takes off his suit jacket again sexily...
Legs too long...
Adjust saddle to maximum height...
And off he goes ... a very straight back. How does he sit so ramrod straight??!
He just parks his bike anywhere without locking or anything & goes exploring. Japan still has very rural towns like this, just like in the currently ongoing anime Barakamon (where the people speak in a totally different dialect). Such places really exist. Wow.
Is there any food in this rural place?
He waits like a king for his Tako...
Chewy Tako...
Continues looking for Yamashita san...
Makes a funny face going uphill... He's pretty good on a bike!
Found him! Turns out his customer forgot the day of the week... as Goro-san guessed.
Goro-san: It's Tuesday.
Customer: Tu...?
Goro-san: It's Tuesday.
Customer: ..?
Goro-san: Tuesday.
Customer hangs down his head.
Is that Tako the only thing he's gonna eat this time?? Hungry time:
I can't believe he can even make these prawns look delicious, the way he eats. The prawns are actually small & skinny in his hands. Appetizers? He eats them like peanuts. (If you know how to read the moons -the white crescents- of his fingernails in the 3rd pic, you can tell his health condition).
Here comes the main meal:
*laughs* The way he eats... I can feel what he's eating. I really need to eat this meal. I know what it feels like because I ate a small but similar rice asari packet from a supermarket at Sendai (best lunch I ever had). This is Tako rice:
A grain of rice on his lower lip. Earlier, there was a bit of prawn. In the previous episode, I said how come his lips are always so clean & never oily. Well, here it's as if the producers heard me.
The way he eats...tells me, this is what living is about: Be grateful for the sea.
One question though... when he returns the bike, how is he going to go back to the pier? He came a long way on bike. They should have a service where a truck comes to pick up the bikes around the island.
Personally, this episode is quite boring. His seaside town food excursions have usually been boring. The one exception I remember... was when he went to this seaside town eating place where some handsome young surfers dropped by. Wow, I surely want to go there.
