Spice. — Season 1, Episode 6: Full of Refreshing Flavor! Squid and Lemon Curry / Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture

Episode synopsis

Natsuki Shokudo receives a request to make curry for use as a prop in a movie shoot. Akira (Okuno So) refuses, saying that the curry he makes is not a prop, but the client, the director Oda (Takenaka Naoto), suggests that they don't care about appearances and won't remake the curry, as they are both professionals. Akira agrees to take on the job on this condition. Oda's request is for the "memorable taste" of the main character of the movie. Akira is troubled, but Yuki (Honda Kyoya) advises him to use a taste that is memorable to him. Akira then remembers his own childhood and is inspired by overnight dried squid to make a curry.
