Synopsis

On New Year's day, President Ohara invites the Touzai staff to lunch at his home. Ohara also invites his childhood friend and rival, the wealthy Inota Okawa, who sees himself as a gourmand. Okawa arrives, and after insulting Ohara, he presents live tai or red sea bream[o] freshly flown in from Akashi. His chefs grill the fish and present small portions to the guests as a way of demonstrating his wealth. Yamaoka correctly identifies the dish as the cheek fat of the fish and how it was prepared, but he says that another part is equally delicious. Yamaoka carefully extracts a section of the fish behind the head and offers it to Okawa who finds it delicious, thus restoring Ohara's status. Yamaoka then demonstrates that the remaining fish's scapula and coracoid bones resemble a red seabream and are called tai no tai which is considered a good luck charm. Ohara and Okawa then fight over the charm until Yamaoka points out that there are two in every fish, but the two rivals still find something to argue about.
