"It's quite an angy face," says Mama, and she'll repeat the observation later. ("a facial change can become apparent.")Īfter Iwao's entrance his is made to remove his sunglasses to show how much drinking has changed his face. "Tension" (high spirited-ness) does not change.Takahashi: 3 Beers, 2 Whiskeys, 4 glasses of ShouChuu.Īt that point, the third customer enters:ģrd Customer: 岩尾 望 (Iwao Nozomu of the Combi Football Hour) Yamasaki: 3 cups Sake, 3 glasses ShouChuu. Mama writes this off as "every week the severity of his (Hamada's) being the Boke is increasing!" But both Yamasaki and Takahashi notice this, however. It's obvious that Takahashi is drinking quickly, so perhaps Hamada only pretends to fill his cup. Afterwards, Takahashi (really drinking quickly) asks for another ShouChuu "on the rocks." There is some small talk about a rumor of Takahashi being able to "go to the barber" (a sexual reference?) while drunk. The announcer says that at this point, both customers join Master and Mama in a drink. Takahashi then mentions that once, drinking with Yamasaki, Takahashi's older brother mentioned a strange dream he had, in which Takahashi became a host! Yamasaki is in awe of Takahashi's drinking ability. This week he's drunk yesterday and the day before- making today perfect! After Hamada asks him, Takahashi mentions that he'll drink maybe two days a week. So he calls them "Regular Acquisition (Income?) Umeboshi." They're certainly delicious, and takahashi, true to his "life of the party" character, proposes a Kampai. Supposedly they were instrumental in getting him a regular job on High Heel's (an female Owari Combi) program. Mama contrasts his youthful appearance to Yamasaki who has is an "old looking drunk." For his snack, Takahashi has brought his mother's Umeboshi or "pickled, dried plums," which everyone has a taste of. Mama and Master remark at how his "face has changed!"Īlcohol Previously Drunk: 4 Glasses of beer, 4 glasses of ShouChuu, 2 glasses of Whiskey. The announcer marks "15 minutes since the start of drinking and Yamasaki has started Hot Sake." "Twenty of these (small sake) Tokui bottles make up two Shou" remarks Mama, evidently trying to make Yamasaki worry less about his "two Shou" limit. The conversation turns to Yamasaki's drinking character, and he confesses that he can become quite quarrelsome after two "Shou" (升)of sake (one Shou is about 1.8 liters.) Mama is consoling, however, stating that this isn't his "true character." Rather, he's really a "gentleman." Mama and Master note the change in Yamasaki's face color. "It surprised me a little," says Yamasaki. Upon tasting his Mizuwari, it appears the drink is quite strong. Noting this, Mama says that she "doesn't think an endorsement deal is coming, however." This is hardly surprising, considering the love for this brand Yamasaki expressed in the recent Potato Chips Kiki ( episode #1073). Like the other customers to come, Yamasaki has brought his own particular snack (おつまみ ) or in this case Calbee brand potato chips. Instead they get Yamasaki a "Mizuwari" or "Whiskey and Water." Yamasaki's drink? "for the moment, just water," to which Master is quite surprised. A version of this somewhat enjoyable, if maudlin song can be found here.Īs Yamasaki takes a seat, Mama mistakes him for "Watanabe Tou san," which causes a little confusion.

With much drama, the announcer asks, "Who will become the first customer?" It is, of course, a very slovenly looking Yamasaki. As they raise their glasses the song 日本全国酒飲み音頭 (All Japan Sake Drinking March) is heard. One hour before BeronBeron opened, however, a group of Geinin have begun a bout of drinking. いとう あさこ (Itou Asako) A female solo comic.Ī slow night at the BeronBeron Bar, as Mama (Matsumoto) and Master (Hamada) await the arrival of their first customers of the evening. 岩尾 望 (Iwao Nozomu of the Combi Football Hour) 高橋 茂雄 Takahashi Shigeo of the "combi" Sabanna ( サバンナ )
