Goro steps off Itabashi Station and heads for an appointment with an aspiring shop-owner with an unusual last name. Afterwards he stops at a store, "Tamotsu's Bread." Its inexpensive, old-fashioned bread delights Goro, making him reminisce about his boyhood. Later, he goes inside a yakiniku shop, called "Yamagen" to bask in a smoky feast of grilled pork innards.
