Wanting to take a break from eating at high-class restaurants, Yamaoka and Kurita decide to check out the local street vendors' stalls and come across an interesting soba cart owned by an amateur soba chef. When the police show up asking for his permit, they find that the soba chef doesn't have one yet, and they're about to haul him in when Police Inspector Nagamasuke stops them and orders a bowl of soba. He enjoys the flavor of the noodles but doesn't enjoy the broth, so he gives the soba chef one month to improve the soba broth or he'll have his permit application denied. Yamaoka tries to advise the chef to seek help on how to improve his broth but he's too stubborn; yet that doesn't stop Yamaoka from finding a way to try to help him anyhow."
