Spice. — Season 1, Episode 2: Chinese-style pork curry with peanuts / Asahi City, Chiba Prefecture

Episode synopsis

Natsuki (Yoshida Rinne), who sees potential in Akira's (Okuno So) skills as a chef, suggests that they start a mobile curry sales business using a food truck. However, Yuki (Honda Kyoya) and Akira are not keen on the idea at all. They have very little money on hand. Natsuki uses her meager savings to force Yuki and Akira into the idea. Natsuki prepares the necessary items, Yuki applies for permission from the health center, and Akira reluctantly sets about procuring ingredients. When they stop at a supermarket, Akira stops in his tracks when he sees that peanuts, a local specialty, are being sold there. They somehow manage to get the store ready to open, and are ready to open in a good location! But just when they think it's empty, there are no customers, let alone passersby. Then Yuki comes up with the perfect place to sell the food.
