It was at the Japanese airport that Jong-seok met Shafran. They came to Japan first because there was a performance in Japan.

"Oppa!"

Watching the members waving their hands, Jong-seok grabbed his luggage and approached them.

"Can I be out like this?”

"You'll know only in Korea, we're not very popular yet in Japan.”

"I saw the news that the show went well."

"Because our fans are gathering from all over Japan. It's good because of them."

"Isn't that popular then?"

Sunny sighed at Jong-seok's words and said,

"Because it's complicated to explain. It's not recognized yet."

Although the Korean Wave is popular, Shafran was still a rookie. Although the new song is gaining popularity due to its success, it has only been short-lived.

However, for Japanese fans who are close to Korea and like the Korean Wave, the distance was close but not easy to see.

So when Shafran performed for the first time in Japan, fans gathered to see it.

Anyway, Sunny, who was hard to explain the fact, looked at Kang Sung-soo.

"Hello, director."

"Yes, how have you been?”

"Of course. Thank you for inviting me."

"I'm grateful for Shafran to come out. Now! Then let's go.”

Kang Sung-soo shouted at the staff and they left the airport. Then I started getting on the bus that was waiting in front of the airport.

Kang Sung-soo said to Sunny on the bus.

"Our MC, Oh Jung-jin, follows Anna and Sunny needs to be the MC. Can you do it?”

"I was an MC for an idol song party in the summer."

Kang Sung-soo, who nodded to Sunny, stuck out the script.

"You can look at the script according to the situation and throw questions or stories written there.”

119 Food Rescue Team is an entertainment show, but it is a documentary. So the MC tells the story and asks the questions in the script according to the situation.

And the story goes along with the question.

"And the shooting schedule is a little tight. You have to take good care of your physical strength."

"Two house structures...….”

There were two restaurants where Jong-seok had to rescue him during the shooting.

"I'm out of the country, so I'll have to hire about four weeks."

"Then is the first house a lamb's rib house?"

"Today, I'll go to a lamb's restaurant and see what's wrong. And on the second day, I go to a snack bar and on the third day, you solve the cooking problem. On the fourth and fifth day, it's a schedule to go to the restaurant and make improvements, respectively."

At Kang Sung-soo's words, Jong-seok took out the file from his bag. Inside it was features of stores and menus that Jong-seok needed to rescue.

"Hmm... ...a lamb chop restaurant in Japan, and it's spicy...….”

Jong-seok's history of lamb chops warmed his appetite.

The Yangpoon Galbi restaurant was set up by Koreans on the Korean Wave. At first, it became a bit of a business under the influence of Korean dramas.

If it is Korean food, I want to try it once, and it is said to be the taste of the mainland, so people went and ate it.

But it was too spicy. Some Koreans can't eat spicy lamb chops, so it was too stimulating and strong for the Japanese.

So the boss began to lower the spiciness of the lamb chops little by little. Then no more people came.

As he gave up the spicy taste of lamb chops, which is an advantage of lamb chops, he became a regular braised short ribs.

And that, too, did not suit the Japanese taste.

Anyway, as I was thinking while looking at the papers, the car could soon arrive in front of the sunny rib house.

After getting out of the car, Jong-seok arrived in advance and greeted the staff who had finished preparing for the shooting.

Then he looked at the sign of the double rib house.

There was a picture of a yellow double on a red background and inside it were ribs that looked spicy.

It was written in Korean and the menu was written in Japanese.

Korean-style Spicy Marinated Galbi

Chooseable Spicy Flavor

1. Spicy to suit Japanese taste.

2. Spicy to suit Korean taste.

3. Very spicy.

Sunny looked at Jong-seok, who was looking at the menu with a little sense.

"Can you speak Japanese, brother?"

"I'm sure you'll read well and have a little conversation.”

"Really?"

Jong-seok nodded at Sunny.

In fact, Japanese has the same order of words as Korean, so if I knew the word, I could speak to a certain extent.

Of course it's depressing, but it's possible to listen and speak.

That's why some Korean people who like animation talk without learning anything else.

Anyway, Jong-seok and Sunny, who had a short shoot in front of the store, went inside the store.

The quiet shop was decorated in Korean style. And when Sunny talked to the shopkeeper about this and that, Jong-seok started looking around the store.

Not having any particular conversation with the shopkeeper...... this was Jong-seok's character in 119.

And soon the shopkeeper laid out three double pots and side dishes.

The side dishes were Korean side dishes. Jong-seok nodded when he tried them one by one.

"You have a good taste."

The shopkeeper nodded at Jong-seok's remark.

"In Korea, the store is doing pretty well."

Jong-seok smiled and said to the owner of the store, who was a little depressed.

"Don't be too nervous. You can do well."

"I know."

Looking at the owner sighing smallly, Jong-seok ate the ribs in order.

The first one is too sweet and the second one is delicious. The third is very spicy.’

Jong-seok, who drank water due to the spicy taste, looked at the saffron. I ate spicy food well because I was a high school girl.

'Certainly women prefer spicy food to men. Is it because you put up with the pain well?'

There is a saying that women are better at enduring pain than men. Spicy taste is not a taste but a pain.

So maybe women like spicy taste better than men.

Thinking that way, Jong-seok saw the dishes that the members of Sharpran ate.

After finishing the second and third bowls, the first was eating only one piece and not touching it.

"It's delicious, sir."

"Right?"

Sunny said at the owner's words.

"I missed the spicy taste of Korea because I was in Japan for a few days, but I ate a lot today."

At Sunny's bright smile, the master looked at Jong-seok. I want to hear Jong-seok's opinion.

"I certainly liked the second one, too. Third, it's too spicy to even touch."

Jong-seok smiled and lifted the empty bowl and showed it to the camera. The camera zoomed in on him and took a picture of an empty bowl.

Along with him, Kang Sung-soo held up the paper to Sunny.

When asked to ask questions, Sunny asked Jong-seok the same question. Jong-seok pointed to his mouth.

"We're Korean, so we enjoyed it."

"Because you're Korean?"

"If it's sold to Koreans, it's a food and menu that sells to some extent. But the place that sells this food is Japan, and the people who eat it are Japanese."

"Then what should I do?”

"The answer is one. When you go to Rome, do as the Romans do.... if you bring it to Japan, you can transform it to fit Japan."

"How?"

"First of all, you need to know the taste of Japanese people."

Then, when Jong-seok got up, the members of Sharpran got up.

"Is there a convenience store near here?"

"There is."

"Then let's go to the convenience store."

As Jong-seok said, the owner looked at him, and left the store to guide him to a nearby convenience store.

Jong-seok, who let a camera follow him in, told a convenience store clerk.

"I'm sorry, but could you pick the most popular menu these days?”

Sunny and the members' eyes sparkled at Jong-seok, who spoke a little bit of Japanese.

"Japanese, brother! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

When Jong-seok saw the clerk smiling at Sunny's reaction, he asked how many he had to choose.

"I'd like two kinds of ramen, sandwiches, sweet drinks or snacks, please. And if there's anything else you like, please do that, too."

The clerk nodded at Jong-seok's words and brought him some ramen and some products.

When the stalactites in the bag saw Kang Sung-soo, he paid for it and came out.

"Why did you buy convenience store food?"”

Sunny asked cutely at Kang Sung-soo's request to do it comfortably, not too hard.

"Convenience store food is the most palatable food for ordinary people. To make it sell to an unspecified number of people, it needs to be tasty to satisfy all the different tastes. And that means the most popular convenience store menu is the taste that Japanese people love."

"Ah! So you're trying to find out the taste of Japanese people with these convenience store foods.”

"That's right. I'm Korean, so I don't know the taste of Japanese. Once you know the taste buds of the Japanese, you can save the food accordingly."

Jong-seok and the members of Sharpran, who went around several more convenience stores while talking, returned to the store with bags in their hands.

The eyes of the members of Sharpran glistened as they spread the food they bought from the convenience store on the table.

"This all looks delicious."

Jong-seok smiled and looked at Ko Soo-yong at the youngest Suni's words. Ko Soo-yong was watching the food on the table with anxious eyes.

Most convenience store foods are high calorie foods, so I am worried after eating them.

Jong-seok, who was looking at such high-tech dishes, poured water into ramen recommended by convenience stores and listened to a triangular kimbap.

"Let's taste it first?"

"Yay!"

"I'll have this!"

Jong-seok said that the members were holding kimbap one by one.

"Because there's a lot of food to eat. Let's have a bite each. Otherwise, I can't even finish this."

At Jong-seok's words, the members of Sharpran nodded and began to eat gimbap.

Jongseok grabbed a kimbap and put it in his mouth.

'Hmm...... is it a bit salty? And there's definitely a lot of kernel in it.’

Thinking like that, Jong-seok put down the kimbap that he had a bite of and drank a sip of water with lemon on it.

Jong-seok, who has eaten so many foods, opened the lid of the ramen and put it in a bowl.

"Dande?"

At Jong-seok's words, Sunny ate a chop of ramen and said, surprisedly.

"Awesome! It's so delicious."

"I want some too!"

Hani and Suni also tried ramen and raised their thumbs as if it was delicious.

"Oppa, this is delicious."

"Isn't you sweet?"

"It's a little sweet, but it's still delicious."

Jong-seok nodded at the girls and began to take a bite of the other menus.

What Safran said tasted best was a sandwich filled with whipped cream inside a soft castella.

As soon as I took a bite, the whipped cream exploded.

'It's definitely different from Korea. If it's Korea, there's only whipped cream in the parts you can see, but it's all whipped cream until the end.’

Jong-seok nodded when he took a bite of the whipped cream sandwich. And certainly, this whipped cream sandwich was an item that was neither liked nor disliked.

It's something that everyone of all ages can enjoy.….

Anyway, Jong-seok, who had a bite of the convenience store menu, told the owner.

"Is there a good restaurant around here?"

"There is."

"What's the menu?"

Jong-seok chose one of the menus when the owner told him a few menus.

It was a Ramen house.

One of the popular Japanese foods is ramen, so if you know the taste, you will be able to catch the strands.

He was guided by his master to the Ramen house.

And Jong-seok was surprised. I saw a line lined up around the store.

Jong-seok said while looking at the ramen place with surprised eyes.

"Is this all a line?”

The master nodded at Jong-seok's words.

"It's not mealtime, so the line is rather short."

Jongseok took out his cell phone and looked at the time.

'4:00 p.m....... That's great.'

It is amazing that even at 4 o'clock, which is too early to eat dinner and too late to call it lunch, they are still lined up to eat ramen.

Jong-seok, who was watching the scene, went behind the crowd and lined up. Shafran stood behind it.

Then about half an hour later, Jong-seok, Shafran and a VJ went into the store.
