00:00The owner of this little izakaya never expected that his restaurant would accidentally connect to another world
00:05Once evening arrived, business boomed again
00:06Two men sat down and immediately ordered drinks and bar snacks
00:09One of the appetizers was made from fermented fish innards
00:12Pungent at first, but strangely addictive once you got used to it
00:15The two were completely absorbed in the world of good food
00:18When Lena suddenly acted strangely, that's when they noticed someone behind the curtain
00:21A young girl peeking out with only her face visible
00:24In the days that followed, Kelly helped around the izakaya washing dishes
00:27And occasionally carried food to customers, or chatted with them
00:30For some reason, even people who were in the middle of an argument, would soften up the moment she tried to mediate
00:35Her presence could melt anyone's anger, like these two men
00:38Lorenz, a glass artisan, and Holger, a blacksmith
00:40They argued constantly, and by coincidence, both showed up at the izakaya on the same day
00:45One ordered far eastern redfish, the other ordered salt grilled sweetfish, to prove whose dish tasted better
00:50They even swapped plates to taste each other's food
00:52The salt grilled sweetfish had none of the muddy smell of freshwater fish
00:55And grilling it with the fish guts left a pleasantly bitter aroma
00:58The redfish was just as impressive
01:00Astonishingly tender, simply seasoned, yet full of flavor
01:03Fish dishes were the izakaya's specialty, so the two decided to settle the score with other food
01:07Holger ordered a croquette
01:08Lorenz followed by ordering thick-cut bacon
01:10One dish was fried and crispy, the other pan-seared and rich, but both paired perfectly with beer
01:15Still unconvinced, they swapped dishes again
01:17Meanwhile, the owner began preparing staff meals
01:19Tonight, he topped fried noodles with a thin omelet
01:22Then drizzled on savory sauce, mayonnaise, and a sprinkle of seaweed flakes
01:25But despite how delicious it looked, Kelly said she didn't have an appetite, and wanted to take it home instead
01:30The owner sensed her hesitation, and reassured her that she could finish this one
01:34And he'd make a separate portion for her to take home
01:36Only after hearing that, did Kelly finally relax and start eating?
01:39She had never tasted anything this good in her entire life
01:42Watching how happily she ate, Holger and Lorenz suddenly felt hungry too, and ordered the exact same omelet noodles dish she was having
01:48She did not drinkacad men
02:06She did enjoy cooking
