The 75th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on January 16th, and the hidden side of Yamahashi (Emoto Tokio), who runs the "Yamahashi Pharmacy," was revealed, causing a stir among viewers.
Toki (Takaishi) finally finds Heaven ( Tommy Bastow) eating Western food in another room of Yamahashi Pharmacy. Yamahashi explains to Toki, "This is a restaurant called 'Yamahashi Western Restaurant' run by me, Yamahashi Saiji..."
Toki was furious when Heaven lied to him about having a meeting with Nishikori (Ryo Yoshizawa Ryo) and then ate Western food instead of his own cooking. Yamahashi sat Toki down and offered him marinated mackerel. "I think it would be best for you to eat first, calm your stomach and your mind, and then we can talk," he told her, revealing that he was the one who had called Heaven there.
After her story was published in the newspaper, Heaven confessed that she was "a little tired" of people flocking to her house and being expected to behave like a Japanese person. Heaven confessed that she had lived a lonely life and could not betray the family she had finally formed, so she had not been able to tell the truth. Toki replied that she wanted to tell him the truth because they were her family.
At that moment, Yamahashi arrives with the main course of beef steak. "Why are you bringing this out now?" Toki shouts, to which Yamahashi calmly replies, "Now now, now now... Please eat first." Afterwards, Toki and Heaven apologize to each other. Heaven teaches Toki how to hold a knife and fork, and Toki is impressed by the taste of the steak he is eating for the first time, saying "It's delicious." Heaven smiles and says she will come again with Tsukasanosuke(Takashi Okabe) and Fumi (Chizuru Ikewaki).
Yamahashi is the owner of Yamahashi Pharmacy, the only imported goods store in Matsue. The program's official website states, "In fact, he has a secret side to him other than being the owner of the store." With Yamahashi's "secret side" now revealed, social media has been flooded with praise, with comments such as, "He acts dumb, but he's a very capable person," "Who is Yamahashi? He's so capable. He seems to be involved in some shady business," "He's such a great person. Amazing...!", "A considerate man," "Yamahashi is a gentleman who is kind to Toki-chan even though he was hit with a pineapple," "Yamahashi's Western cuisine looks so delicious!" and "Yamahashi's arbitration techniques, or rather his interjections, are so instructive."
