The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House 1.02

Guardian Spirit

Kiyo is told that she isn't doing well enough in her efforts to become a maiko. It looks like she will have to leave but once everyone takes notice of her cooking skills that problem is pushed aside and she is made the Makanai, the cook for the house.

Thoughts

Once again I found myself pausing the show to look up terms that are not explained. The terms I looked up were all dishes that including Oyakodon, Tamago Kake Gohan, Omurice, and Senjyu Senbei.

I get the impression that this episode and the previous one might originally have been broadcast as one episode or intended to be broadcast that way.

Kiyo and Sumire seem to be settled into the Maiko house. What next?
