The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House

Kiyo and Sumire leave their hometown and head to Kyoto, where they will train as apprentice maiko entertainers.

A former maiko suddenly makes a return. To her delight, Kiyo receives a heavy package from home.

Love is in the air — except for Kiyo, who only has eyes for food. Sumire receives wonderful news, while Ryoko battles with her feelings.

The geiko and maiko ladies kick off the new year at an annual ceremony. Sumire loses her appetite, but Kiyo cooks up an antidote.

While Sumire continues to shine, Tsurukoma reconsiders her future. Kiyo prepares her most important meal yet.
