Ginnikan Ep. 3: Drama Notes
Ep. 3: "Two Paths"
Episode Synopsis: Even after Ikawaya had solved the issue regarding the baseless rumor about them, bad luck still hounds the shop. Clients still refuse to buy their agar, and rather choose the cheaper yet low-quality ones. To top it off, the disgruntled shop assistant Matsushichi (Saito Taichiro) and apprentice Takekichi (Nakamura Taiki) have both run away. The remaining apprentices, Matsukichi and Umekichi (Onoue Hiroyuki) are doing their best to take on all the errands themselves. Head clerk, Zenjiro (Shiomi Sansei) also has to take on delivery errands too. The head of the House, Wasuke (Tsugawa Masahiko) meanwhile has to find a temporary replacement for housekeeper Osato (Ishino Yoko) who has to take a leave due to a relative's passing. All the extra work, plus learning the abacus, is especially tiresome for Matsukichi. It seems he is forcing himself to sell agar which he is not fond of in the first place. Meanwhile, his friendship with a cute and sympathetic girl named Maho (Ashida Mana) whom he met before, deepens. Her father Kahei (Hosshan.) is a talented chef who runs a restaurant across the river, called "Mahonoya". Maho seems to have a crush on the older boy, and looks forward to his delivering agar to their shop. Kahei is also fond of the hard-working, young lad. However, one day, when Matsukichi expressed his dislike for agar, Kahei suddenly becomes enraged with the young man. "Even if you're looking down on this business, you better shape yourself up!"...
