Mr. Brailsford is an American who works in Gifu Prefecture, central Japan. He was so impressed with a certain sake that he began working at the brewery that makes it. The employee lunch at the brewery features hot miso soup with sake lees in it, and Mr. Brailsford just loves it as it reminds him of the stew his mother used to make for him in the States. In another segment, we visit a funeral company with an employee cafeteria. The chef there backs up hard workers with tasty dishes and a warm personality.

Setsuko Mizuno is the owner of a cookware shop in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, in central Japan.

She tests out all the cooking utensils by using them to cook the staff lunch, before they are sold at the shop. In another segment, we go to Muroto City, Kochi Prefecture in southwest Japan to visit a factory that produces quality charcoal called "binchotan".
