The two walked out of the hospital and under Chen Yu's guidance, Kohinata Kaori joined him in heading to a little shop that had just opened for business.

"Welcome!" Minami greeted the new arrivals as they entered the door, as was her routine. However, when she saw that it was Chen Yu, she couldn't help but have a small change in her expression.

She evidently remembered what Chen Yu had relayed through the boss last time, but that also caused her to hold a bit of a grudge against him.

Nevertheless, Chen Yu was just a customer for now and she quickly regained her smile, greeting him, "Doctor Chen Yu, what would you like to eat today?"

"The usual, Steamed clams with wine plus a Highball," Chen Yu ordered, and after sitting down with Kohinata Kaori, he explained to her, "At this restaurant, you can order anything you want as long as the boss can make it, so if I work late I usually come here with Hiromi."

"Is that so? That's really interesting! Then I'd like to have ginger pork!" Upon hearing what Chen Yu said, Kohinata Kaori immediately became excited and placed her order with Minami for the dish she wanted to eat the most.

"All right, do you need anything else?" Minami asked, apparently worried that a single ginger pork might not be enough.

After pondering Minami's question for a moment, Kohinata Kaori then asked her, "Do you have fukagawa-don?"

"Fukagawa-don? What is that?" Minami obviously had never heard of the dish, but she still turned to ask the owner, "Uncle, can you make fukagawa-don?"

Hearing Minami's question, the owner was taken aback too, but he quickly nodded and said, "I can make it."

"Okay, so one Steamed clams with wine, one ginger pork, one fukagawa-don, and one Highball—does that sound right?" Minami repeated the order and also confirmed with Chen Yu and Kohinata Kaori.

"I'll have a Fukagawa Don as well," Chen Yu added with a smile. "Just drinking in the evening will still leave me hungry."

"Okay, two Fukagawa Dons coming up. Please wait a moment; they'll be right out," Hiromi replied before heading into the kitchen to inform the chef of the order and assist him.

As he watched Hiromi and the chef busily working in the kitchen, Chen Yu asked Kohinata Kaori out of curiosity, "Kaori, what made you want to have Fukagawa Don?"

"Big brother, you actually know about Fukagawa Don? Now in Tokyo, I suppose there are very few people who eat this, right?" Kohinata Kaori was surprised that Chen Yu also knew about the dish, but she explained, "When I was little, there was a place selling it downstairs from my house. When I had some pocket money, I'd occasionally go eat there. The rich seafood flavor was really delicious, and I've liked it ever since.

"But then, that place stopped selling it, and after I went to France, I never had it again. Just now, I suddenly remembered it, so I ordered it. I didn't expect that the owner here could actually make it. Do you also know about this dish, big brother?"

"Yeah, I've had it before," Chen Yu nodded slightly.

Soon, the Highball Chen Yu had ordered was served by Hiromi, placed right in front of him, and the Steamed clams with wine were prepared quickly as well, whereas the ginger pork and Fukagawa Dons were taking longer.

Chen Yu didn't mind the wait—he picked up his chopsticks and happily started eating a clam.

However, he hadn't forgotten Kohinata Kaori sitting beside him and offered, "Kaori, would you like to try one?"

"No need, I'll wait for what I've ordered," Kohinata Kaori declined Chen Yu's offer but curiously asked, "Since you've had Fukagawa Don before, then you should know it's made with clams too. Don't you get tired of eating so many clams?"

Shaking his head and taking a sip of his drink, Chen Yu chuckled and said, "How could you get tired of something delicious?"

"That's true; no matter how much you eat something delicious, you never get tired of it. If you do get tired, it just means it's not tasty enough!" Kohinata Kaori laughed along.

While they chatted and laughed, the chef brought over the ginger pork and the two bowls of Fukagawa Don they had ordered.

"I didn't expect anyone to order Fukagawa Don these days; it really brings back memories. It used to be so popular." The chef remarked nostalgically as he looked at Chen Yu and Kohinata Kaori.

To the chef's reminiscence, Chen Yu just smiled and didn't say much, but Kohinata Kaori confidently assured the chef, "Delicious food will always be ordered by someone!"

"Ha-ha, that's also true, but traditional Tokyo dishes like Fukagawa Don are probably seldom eaten by anyone now, right?" The chef said, feeling a bit nostalgic upon hearing Kohinata Kaori's remark.

After speaking, the chef was about to return to the kitchen to continue working but suddenly started coughing.

Seeing this, Hiromi quickly came over to support the chef and asked with concern, "Uncle, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just some chest discomfort recently; I'll be fine after some rest." The chef smiled at Hiromi, indicating he was okay.

However, the two doctors sitting aside frowned upon hearing this.

"If you're not feeling well, it's still best to get checked out at the hospital. If you have the time, I can help you make an appointment," Kohinata Kaori offered the chef her help.
