Episode overview
When Murasaki Wakako (Takeda Rina) is drawn to the smell of smoke in Mizonokuchi for the first time on business, she finds herself in a restaurant district reminiscent of a Showa era amusement park! ▼ Smoke rises from the charcoal grills outside the restaurant, and Wakako makes her way through the restaurant, which is so hazy it's hard to see what's ahead. She's amazed by the great value menu! ▼ With a large draft beer in hand, Wakako grills pork belly and innards. The meat gradually transforms...!? ▼ Fascinated by the smoke, Wakako visits a shop that smokes various items on another day, but the entrance is difficult to find, like a "secret base."
