Hold it.

Rinse them. Like this.

You have to rinse thoroughly,

or the beans will be bitter.

Good.

Pour them back in the copper pot.

Now, water. Clean water.

Sorry.

That's right.

Pour this in?

-Yes, pour it in.

Slowly, gently-

Slowly. Not too much.

That's good.

Pretty soon now.

The scent of the steam has changed.

The scent of the steam?

Good.

We'll let them steam.

It's complicated.

We're hosting them.

Hosting?

Our customers?

No, the beans.

The beans?

They came all this way,

from the fields.

- Did it go Well?

-it did.

Put the copper pot in the sink.

The warm beans break easily.

Gently.

The harsh juices will run off the top.

Until the broth is clear.

Clear.

It takes so much time.

But

What do you see there?

Huh?

Putting your face so close...

What are you looking at?

What, you ask?

Oh, they're beautiful.

This is how they turn out.

Now we add the sweetness.

The other too.

That's right.

We Wait again?

It would be an insult

to cook it right away.

We have to let the beans get used

to the sweetness.

So,

ifs like a first date.

The young couple needs to get friendly.

L-low long clo we watch them'?

Oh, about two hours.

Two hours!

Two hours.

Here, this is critical now.

They'll burn in a flash.

Keep the spatula on the bottom of the pot.

If they burn now, they're ruined.

Keep it straight. Move it quickly.

Dorft stir it so hard.

The more you stir,

the more you crush the beans.

Move the spatula carefully.

That's it, dorft crush them.

Little by little...

Little by little, how much is that'?

Little... is little.

You dorft knead the paste,

you simmer it dovvn, OK?

OK.

Turn dovvn the heat.

- Novv, the mizu-ame.

-Mizu-ame? OK.

A double handful, lift it out.

Oh, good job.

- Shake it a bit, then slip it in the pot.

-Slip it?

There we go.

Ah, that feels good.

- Novv, on to the next...

-Can I Wash up?

Of course, What were you Waiting for?

Well, uh...

Oh, the faucet? OK.

- Here goes.

Careful.

Good.

Looks great.

Ifs still a bit hot.

Is it OK?

Ifs still hot.

What do you think, boss?

Never had anything like it.

It sure is delicious.

Yes, it is.

I've finally met a dorayaki

I could stomach.

Huh?

What did you say, boss?

I've never ever eaten a whole dorayaki.

I dorft have a sweet tooth.

Well, that's...

But I can tell

that your bean paste is great.

It's rarely this good.

Why do you have

a dorayaki shop then, boss?

- Delish.

Enough.

Enough flattery.

ifs just so disappointing.

L-low could someone

who doesrft like sweets run

a dorayaki shop?

Why?

Actually,

I'm partial to this end of things.

Then why dorft you run a pub instead?

Why not?

It's 11 :
