Wakako Zake

White-grilled treat

On a Friday night after finishing a part of her work, Wakako (Takeda Rina) made a reservation at an eel restaurant, which she had been looking forward to, as a reward to herself. ▼ Along with cold Hokkaido sake, she ate "Shirayaki eel" and other dishes. It was surprisingly plump and soft, so tender that it almost broke when she picked it up with chopsticks...! ▼ On another day, Wakako stopped by her favorite restaurant, "Oraku." She was greeted by newcomer Yamamoto (Kadouma Wataru) and when she went inside, she found that Tetsuya (Tsujimoto Tatsunori), the son of the head chef (Nozoe Yoshihiro), had come from Takayama in Gifu to help out, worried about his father who was running the restaurant alone. ▼ As she ate "shrimp and avocado salad" and "Chikuzen stew," Wakako was immersed in the happy world of connections made by drinking outside.
