Osen Wa na Hito 5 (Birz Comics)

[Machine Translation] The fifth volume of this gourmet comic, which carefully depicts the apologies and solitude of the Japanese people by mastering the essence of "Japanese food"! The proprietress of Issouan, Osen, welcomes her guests at "Suisen," a restaurant that has maintained "wa" (harmony) with the same attention to ingredients as in the days of ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurants), and the most stylish interior design. The "Suisen" was to be opened by Seiji, the former head chef of Issouan, and Kimika, a geiko, but one night, just before the opening, an unexpected event occurred. However, they overcome their grief and spend their days running the restaurant with Shige and Chu, in order to pass on the restaurant filled with their feelings to their daughter, Sumomo. Sometimes, we are reminded of the value of wasabi (fresh wasabi), such as "Sashimi", "Horse's mane", "Top corned beef", and "Wasabi takikomikomi-gohan chazuke", which is a unique dish only available here, or we try to teach the Japanese tradition (Osechi cuisine) - tonight, we will have another top-class sake feast.
