Warm Chawanmushi and Hot Sake

Synopsis

Wakako (Takeda Rina) is late because she has been putting together documents that Hasegawa (Sakoi Takayuki) has asked her to do. It's chilly due to the change of seasons, and she feels like she has caught a cold. Seeking warmth, Wakako goes into a desert oasis-like restaurant and is drawn to a large piece of garlic. She learns from the manager that the garlic is from Aomori and has a mild smell, so she orders garlic baked in foil and a lemon highball. Wakako's appetite is whetted after eating the steaming garlic, and she adds stuffed peppers and a highball. Drinkers have a way to cure themselves. Wakako feels much better now. Later on... Hasegawa's plan, for which Wakako put together the documents, is approved. Everyone recognizes her achievement, and Wakako is in a good mood, so she goes to a small restaurant where large plates of side dishes are lined up to reward herself...
