Oishinbo

Synopsis

Koichi, one of Ohara's grandchildren, fails to get into his first choice university and becomes discouraged. Ohara gets Yamaoka to cheer him up over dinner and he is successful until Ohara disparages the sole they have for dinner instead of the more expensive flatfish even though they taste almost the same, undermining Yamaoka's good work. However, the dinner gives Yamaoka an idea for the Global Food Tour and he asks Koichi to help him. Yamaoka takes the Global Food Tour team with Koichi out on a fishing boat before dawn and they catch a number of fish. When they return, Yamaoka prepares both sole and flatfish sashimi and asks Koichi to pick the difference and choose which one is best. Koichi can tell the difference based on taste and texture, but also says that different people will choose the one that suits their taste. He then decides that he should choose his university based on what it offers rather than its reputation.
