Omusubi:Viewers are amazed at Shoya's "saving techniques" - he turns off the air conditioner, takes a bath, and uses tissues at least three times. "He's too stoic lol" "It makes me want to cheer him on"

The 68th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 am and others), starring Kanna Hashimoto, was broadcast on January 8th, depicting Yui (Hashimoto) and Shoya (Sano Hayato) trying to save money for their wedding. Shoya's thorough frugality attracted the attention of viewers.

In the 68th episode, Yui tells her family that she has started saving money for her wedding by keeping a household budget. She has decided to refrain from using her cell phone, go on dates to the park instead of going to amusement parks or movie theaters, and has also started saving 500 yen coins every day.

Meanwhile, Shoya brings two water bottles filled with barley tea to the office. At home, he turns off the air conditioner and takes a bath, dilutes shampoo with water, and uses tissues at least three times. When his colleague Okubo (Narumi) heard this story, he laughed and said, "Stingy! That's just stingy."

Furthermore, after Shoya dropped Yui off at his home in Kobe, he said, "I'm going to run to Umeda," and Yui was shocked, saying, "This is Kobe? It's over 20 kilometers away." Shoya replied, "When I was playing baseball, I used to run that much. I need to keep my body in shape," and took off his tie, put a towel around his neck, and ran off.

Comments on social media about Shoya's "savings techniques" have included, "He's too stoic lol," "I wonder if he can do it because he has a goal of saving up money for his wedding," "It's strange, I just want to support him," "He might even join a relay team for working adults," and "It's great that he works so hard, but it's cute how Shoya acts all nonchalant."
