The 47th episode of the NHK morning drama "Omusubi" starring Kanna Hashimoto was broadcast on December 3rd, and the comical exchange between Morikawa (Kote Shinya), also known as "Morimori," and Misae (Kimura Midoriko) attracted the attention of viewers.
In the 47th episode, Yui (Hashimoto) interviews people in the shopping district with her classmates from vocational school to find out about the food provided at evacuation centers immediately after the earthquake. Misae and her friends recall that the food provided at evacuation centers was mostly pork soup, but since it was difficult to get meat immediately after the earthquake, they ate pork soup without pork, thinking "This is pork soup!". After hearing this, Morikawa asked, "Does that mean if you put soy sauce on melon, it tastes like sea urchin?" Misae immediately replied, "Not quite." Morikawa corrected himself by saying, "Oh, it's pudding. It's pudding," but Misae shook her head and replied, "No, it's not." Next, they talked about "curry-like curry," which has the flavor of curry but is not yellow. When Yui's father, Masato (Kitamura Yukiya), explained, "If you close your eyes and eat it, it feels like you're eating curry," Morikawa likened it to, "I see! It's like eating rice with the smoke from an eel restaurant." Misae immediately retorted, "That's not it at all," and seemed unable to hide her confusion, saying, "What is with this guy?"
On social media, the well-paced exchange between Morikawa and Misae drew comments such as, "This is already a manzai," "It's so funny I laughed," "The combination of Kimura Midoriko and Kote Shinya is brilliant," and "It's so funny that Morimori keeps coming up with all his best analogies only to be completely rejected."
