1. I feel like it was sweeter.
Copy !req
2. Do I just add more sugar?
Copy !req
3. Hey, You!
Copy !req
4. How many bowls are you trying to feed us?
Copy !req
5. We can't eat any more!
Copy !req
6. What? Can't you eat just one more bowl?
Copy !req
7. Nope.
Copy !req
8. Thanks for the food.
Copy !req
9. I think this is already a great ramen.
Copy !req
10. What aren't you satisfied with?
Copy !req
11. No, this is totally different.
Copy !req
12. I remember that tasty ramen I ate
in Osaka when I was a little kid.
Copy !req
13. I think the place was close
to my grandma's house.
Copy !req
14. Last night, as I was falling asleep,
it just popped into my head.
Copy !req
15. Thank you for waiting.
Copy !req
16. It's so good!
Copy !req
17. Yum!
Copy !req
18. I've been hoping to replicate that
taste to entice Koizumi-san over.
Copy !req
19. It's so amazing that you can
make ramen this delicious.
Copy !req
20. Let's be friends.
Copy !req
21. I would love to!
Copy !req
22. Why does that sound...
Copy !req
23. easier said than done?
Copy !req
24. Unfortunately, I can't remember the
ramen clearly enough to replicate it.
Copy !req
25. Do you at least know the name
of the restaurant? Or their menu?
Copy !req
26. I was really little, so I don't remember.
Copy !req
27. And it's in Osaka, so I can't
just take her to it, either.
Copy !req
28. Why don't you ask someone
in your family, then?
Copy !req
29. Maybe your brother?
Copy !req
30. That's our Jun! So smart!
Copy !req
31. Oh, it's from You.
Copy !req
32. Your sister?
Copy !req
33. Yeah... "Brother, get back to me right away."
Copy !req
34. Do you remember the ramen
we ate in Osaka back then?
Copy !req
35. You know, when we all went,
back when I was in kindergarten.
Copy !req
36. "What kind of ramen was that again?"
Copy !req
37. "Please tell me."
Copy !req
38. Oh, yeah, that ramen. I know.
Copy !req
39. He wrote back!
Copy !req
40. I knew he'd come through.
Copy !req
41. Oh, sure. That was...
Copy !req
42. Tasty Ramen.
Copy !req
43. I'm not asking for your opinion.
Copy !req
44. What the heck? What's wrong with You?
Copy !req
45. Why is Ohsawa crying?
Copy !req
46. I told her, and this is how she treats me?
Copy !req
47. Who knows? Sibling fight?
Copy !req
48. I can't count on him.
Copy !req
49. I'm going to have to remember it myself.
Copy !req
50. Uh, it had some kind of leafy vegetable
and some kind of chopped meat...
Copy !req
51. The soup had a gentle sweetness,
kind of like sukiyaki sauce.
Copy !req
52. It wasn't a particularly light flavor, though.
Copy !req
53. Anyway, it was a tasty ramen.
Copy !req
54. That's not exactly enough info.
Copy !req
55. Tasty ramen?
Copy !req
56. Staaare...
Copy !req
57. K-Koizumi-san?
Copy !req
58. Excuse me. I don't actually
have any business here,
Copy !req
59. but I was walking down the hall,
and I smelled ramen.
Copy !req
60. Yeah, okay! So come on in!
Copy !req
61. I can't believe this is actually working.
Copy !req
62. Here, have a seat!
Copy !req
63. Excuse me.
Copy !req
64. It's... still a work in progress.
Copy !req
65. Thank you for the food.
Copy !req
66. By the way, you were talking about
a ramen that this was based on.
Copy !req
67. Could it be...
Copy !req
68. Tasty Ramen?
Copy !req
69. Huh? Yes, it was.
Copy !req
70. Because their main branch is
located in Osaka's Dotonbori,
Copy !req
71. but Tokyo has a location, too.
Copy !req
72. Wait, really? Where?
Copy !req
73. I want to go there!
Copy !req
74. I don't think we can...
Copy !req
75. eat any more ramen today.
Copy !req
76. I think that's what you were talking about.
Copy !req
77. Huh?
Copy !req
78. Tasty ramen!
Copy !req
79. Welcome!
Copy !req
80. Please take a seat anywhere you like.
Copy !req
81. Two customers coming in!
Copy !req
82. Welcome!
Copy !req
83. So I guess it's literally called
"Tasty Ramen" on the menu.
Copy !req
84. I'll have to text an apology to my brother.
Copy !req
85. Excuse me.
Copy !req
86. Here's your Tasty Ramen.
Copy !req
87. Please add some garlic chives, if you like.
Copy !req
88. Yes, this is the scent!
Copy !req
89. Time to eat.
Copy !req
90. This is it! The napa cabbage
gives it that gentle sweetness.
Copy !req
91. But maybe it's the higher
amount of flavored oil
Copy !req
92. that keeps it from being too light?
Copy !req
93. The soup is always so hot here.
Copy !req
94. I guess these are the garlic chives?
Copy !req
95. The garlic chives give it
an even deeper flavor.
Copy !req
96. Customers coming in.
Copy !req
97. Welcome!
Copy !req
98. That really was tasty ramen!
Copy !req
99. Thank you for the food.
Copy !req
100. I just drank all that soup without thinking.
Copy !req
101. I never thought I'd have the ramen of
my childhood memories here in Tokyo.
Copy !req
102. I was sure I'd have to go
all the way to Osaka for it.
Copy !req
103. Huh?
Copy !req
104. Koizumi-san?
Copy !req
105. What's wrong, Koizumi-san?
Copy !req
106. It's been a while since I went west.
Copy !req
107. It was Tasty Ramen.
Copy !req
108. It was Tasty Ramen, was it not?
Copy !req
109. It was tasty ramen!
Copy !req
110. It was tasty ramen, was it not?
Copy !req
111. Time to eat.
Copy !req
112. Hey, hey, girlie! Hey, hey, hey!
Copy !req
113. Where ya goin'?
Copy !req
114. If you're free, wanna hang?
Copy !req
115. We know some really good places. Eh, eh?
Copy !req
116. I can't move forward.
Copy !req
117. Oh, there you are!
Copy !req
118. Sorry I'm late, Charlotte!
Copy !req
119. Shall we?
Copy !req
120. Hey, wait!
Copy !req
121. Just hear me out!
Copy !req
122. Excuse me, but who is Charlotte?
Copy !req
123. And... who are you?
Copy !req
124. Ya just looked like a Charlotte.
Copy !req
125. I felt bad for ya, since those
guys kept hittin' on ya.
Copy !req
126. Thank you for helping me out.
Copy !req
127. I'll be going now.
Copy !req
128. Hey, wait!
Copy !req
129. You were at a ramen place
in Nanba last night, yeah?
Copy !req
130. I could tell from your accent
that you're from Tokyo.
Copy !req
131. At the restaurant last night...
Copy !req
132. Oh, miss, you can just leave it.
Copy !req
133. Oh, force of habit.
Copy !req
134. After ya finished, ya put your
bowl up on the counter.
Copy !req
135. That's not somethin' folks
from around here would do.
Copy !req
136. You're in high school, right?
Copy !req
137. Tourin' Osaka by yourself?
Copy !req
138. I came here to eat ramen.
Copy !req
139. Whoa, whoa... It might be
weird for a local to say this,
Copy !req
140. but Osaka ramen really ain't that big a deal.
Copy !req
141. We don't have anything unique here, either.
Copy !req
142. I don't see what brought ya from Kanto—
Copy !req
143. Untrue.
Copy !req
144. Osaka's ramen... is definitely
the thing right now.
Copy !req
145. Of course there are the established places,
Copy !req
146. but there's also a lot of new places
with potential coming onto the scene.
Copy !req
147. You just said that this
area doesn't have its own
Copy !req
148. distinct style of noodles, but there's
the type called "Takaida."
Copy !req
149. Yesterday's chuuka soba is
derived from that genre,
Copy !req
150. and the further development
of that rich soy sauce base
Copy !req
151. is "Osaka Black," which is
one of my favorites.
Copy !req
152. Anyway, this is my last day in Osaka.
Copy !req
153. I still have four more bowls to go.
Copy !req
154. Wait!
Copy !req
155. Hey, hey, where are you going!
Copy !req
156. Hey, you wanna hang out?
Copy !req
157. Hey, hey...
Copy !req
158. I told ya so.
Copy !req
159. This is just a suggestion,
but I could be your bodyguard!
Copy !req
160. So let me tag along today.
Copy !req
161. Hey!
Copy !req
162. Hey!
Copy !req
163. Hey!
Copy !req
164. Thank you.
Copy !req
165. Yes!
Copy !req
166. My name is Ayane and I'm 25 years old,
a Virgo, and blood type O!
Copy !req
167. How about you?
Copy !req
168. My name is Koizumi.
Copy !req
169. Koizumi-chan!
Copy !req
170. Let's be friends!
Copy !req
171. Let's be friends!
Copy !req
172. Déjà vu.
Copy !req
173. I'm sorry about this.
Copy !req
174. But I did want to try Osaka's tasty ramen,
and it's my last day, too.
Copy !req
175. Welcome!
Copy !req
176. Thank you for waiting!
Copy !req
177. One tori paitan and one
extra thick tori paitan.
Copy !req
178. It's so white! Why?
Copy !req
179. Weren't ya talkin' about
some black stuff earlier?
Copy !req
180. I already visited all the soy sauce
based restaurants yesterday.
Copy !req
181. Today, I'm focusing on newly opened stores.
Copy !req
182. Osaka's "whites," like tori paitan
and salt ramen, are hot, too.
Copy !req
183. I dunno about that, but I guess
there are all kinds of ramen.
Copy !req
184. I haven't done this since
I entered the workforce.
Copy !req
185. Time to eat!
Copy !req
186. This is so good!
Copy !req
187. What is this?
Copy !req
188. It's so rich and creamy!
Copy !req
189. Please eat more quietly.
Copy !req
190. That was so good!
Copy !req
191. That paitan ramen was so milky!
I could get hooked on that, all right!
Copy !req
192. Incidentally, they don't use
milk to make it white.
Copy !req
193. Oh, really?
Copy !req
194. The white soup that results from a long,
hot cooking process is called paitan.
Copy !req
195. The clear soup that results from
low-temperature cooking is called chintan.
Copy !req
196. I see.
Copy !req
197. I didn't know they taught stuff
like that in Tokyo high schools.
Copy !req
198. I didn't learn this in school.
Copy !req
199. Look at this sparkling salt broth!
Copy !req
200. Two types of char siu
made from local chickens.
Copy !req
201. Superb.
Copy !req
202. Thank you for waiting.
Copy !req
203. Just look at this beautiful soup!
Copy !req
204. The umami from the vegetables and
chicken is permeatin' my entire body!
Copy !req
205. I'm so full!
Copy !req
206. I can't believe I've eaten
four bowls for lunch.
Copy !req
207. Are you going to be okay?
Copy !req
208. Yes!
Copy !req
209. I come from a family with big stomachs,
thanks to my grandmother.
Copy !req
210. But after all that,
you're still having takoyaki?
Copy !req
211. Well, I am in Osaka.
Copy !req
212. Boy, eatin' that ramen made
me want to get a drink.
Copy !req
213. Why don't you go get a drink, then?
Copy !req
214. I can't join you, since I'm underage.
Copy !req
215. I'll pass.
Copy !req
216. It's better to not drink somethin'
you love when you're all gloomy.
Copy !req
217. Y'know...
Copy !req
218. I quit my job.
Copy !req
219. After this, I'll be workin' a job in
Tokyo that my relatives got me.
Copy !req
220. So this is my last day in Osaka.
Copy !req
221. I was doin' stuff I liked for a living,
Copy !req
222. but it was starting to be too stressful.
Copy !req
223. Yesterday, I asked my friends to go out
with me to get my mind off things,
Copy !req
224. but I couldn't really enjoy the drinks.
Copy !req
225. Then, on my way home,
I remembered a ramen place
Copy !req
226. I used to go to after drinkin'.
Copy !req
227. I hadn't been there in so long.
Copy !req
228. It was the best.
Copy !req
229. Why does the ramen you eat
after some drinks taste so good?
Copy !req
230. Paitan and salt ramen are good, too,
but I guess I prefer soy sauce based ones.
Copy !req
231. The simple kind with naruto
and stuff on them.
Copy !req
232. When I was in college, the place
I often went to was in Tsurumi.
Copy !req
233. I could never forget that taste.
Copy !req
234. I forgot the name of the store,
though. What was it again?
Copy !req
235. Then let's go there next.
Copy !req
236. I want to try it now, too.
Copy !req
237. Huh?
Copy !req
238. You're really gonna take me there?
Copy !req
239. Thank you!
Copy !req
240. Hey, this isn't Tsurumi.
Copy !req
241. I'm going in.
Copy !req
242. Koizumi-chan, wait!
Copy !req
243. Excuse me. Here's your chuuka soba.
Copy !req
244. Thank you for waiting.
Copy !req
245. This does kind of look like that ramen.
Copy !req
246. Time to eat.
Copy !req
247. Time to eat!
Copy !req
248. This is it!
Copy !req
249. This unpretentious, simple chuuka soba!
Copy !req
250. Some years ago, the main restaurant
transferred over here.
Copy !req
251. What's in Tsurumi now is a branch location.
Copy !req
252. So that's why we're here.
Copy !req
253. The location may be new, but it
tastes just as good as before.
Copy !req
254. If anything, it tastes
even better than before.
Copy !req
255. The longer a store has been in business,
the more it's devoted to improving its ramen.
Copy !req
256. It looks the same,
Copy !req
257. but it's continuously changing.
Copy !req
258. If I ate this after some drinks,
it'd be even more delicious!
Copy !req
259. This is the last place.
Copy !req
260. The last place is in the office
district? That's just cold.
Copy !req
261. Ya know I just quit my job.
Copy !req
262. I simply wanted to eat this black ramen, too.
Copy !req
263. There was no other reason.
Copy !req
264. More importantly, I thought you
shouldn't drink when you're gloomy?
Copy !req
265. Oh, well, they had drinks on the menu!
Copy !req
266. No, that's not it.
Copy !req
267. The day before I start my new journey,
Copy !req
268. I've been eatin' delicious
ramen with a cute li'l lady
Copy !req
269. all over the city that I've
called home for 25 years.
Copy !req
270. I left gloomy behind me a long
time ago. I'm in a great mood!
Copy !req
271. The reason I quit my company was
because I didn't wanna stop working.
Copy !req
272. Isn't that a contradiction?
Copy !req
273. That's right, bein' an adult
is all about contradictions.
Copy !req
274. Thank you for waiting.
Copy !req
275. One Kurofune.
Copy !req
276. All right, then!
Copy !req
277. Time to eat.
Copy !req
278. Yum!
Copy !req
279. Black ramen really is the best.
Copy !req
280. Not all black ramens are the same.
Copy !req
281. Thanks for spendin' today with me.
Copy !req
282. Here ya go.
Copy !req
283. It's my contact information.
Copy !req
284. I'll be counting on you in Tokyo.
Copy !req
285. For what, exactly?
Copy !req
286. Oh, yeah! I've got a cousin the
same age as you over there.
Copy !req
287. You don't mean—
Copy !req
288. She's comin' out today to help me move.
Copy !req
289. She should be here soon. I'll introduce ya.
Copy !req
290. No... I...
Copy !req
291. C'mon, let's go!
Copy !req
292. Koizumi-san!
Copy !req
293. You!
Copy !req
294. I knew it.
Copy !req
295. What are you doing in Osaka?
Copy !req
296. You ignored me?
Copy !req
297. I would've never expected to meet you here.
Copy !req
298. What are you two doing together, anyway?
Copy !req
299. I was just about to ask you the same thing.
Copy !req
300. You know each other?
Copy !req
301. Koizumi-chan's been showing
me around all day.
Copy !req
302. What? Do that for me, too!
Copy !req
303. Time to get on my train.
Copy !req
304. Koizumi-chan! Let's meet again in Tokyo!
Copy !req
305. Hey! Wait!
Copy !req
306. Hey, Aya-neechan.
Copy !req
307. Where's You?
Copy !req
308. Over there.
Copy !req
309. Koizumi-san!
Copy !req
310. Aya-neechan, there's a dragon
stuck in the ramen place!
Copy !req
311. That's Naniwa's guardian deity.
Copy !req
312. Oh, a guardian deity.
Copy !req
313. Looks like you're pretty used
to Osaka, huh, Koizumi-chan?
Copy !req
314. I've been there many times.
Copy !req
315. Well, then, why don't you try
speakin' in in the Osaka dialect?
Copy !req
316. What for?
Copy !req
317. I wanna hear your adorable voice
speaking in the Osaka dialect!
Copy !req
318. Oh, come on, please?
Copy !req
319. I'm thinkin' not.
Copy !req
320. You're a native speaker!
Copy !req
