The sandwich competition with Abe Ichiro begins. Abe says that cooking is something you make alone, but Yoichi and the others explain that cooking should really be about thinking about the people who will eat it. Abe explains that this is the result of such thinking, and introduces Ajiou to the two. It turns out that Ajiou has lost his memory in his pursuit of flavor.
