One day, Shinozuka decides to cover one of Nagoya’s famous local specialties, a dish called hitsumabushi. He visits Koraiken, a long-established unagi shop that he is familiar with. It has made a name for its hitsumabushi prepared from charcoal-grilled eels coated with a secret sauce on top of freshly cooked rice. However, Koraiken head chef’s (Nomaguchi Toru) decision to leave and start his own business ends up causing an uproar. This even turns into an event that undermines the survival of the unagi shop.
