[COSTCO SUBS PRESENTS]

[Previously unaired footage]

How’s Risako doing?
Is she okay?

She’s asleep right now with a fever.

Oh really?

What should we do for dinner?
Did you have lunch?

-No. I had some ice cream though.
-Oh, ice cream?

Yeah.

Should we make dinner today then?

Neither of the two who know
how to cook are here though.

How about a, “two people who can’t cook
try their hand at cooking” party?

What? No no!
I seriously can’t cook!

And by cooking party,
I mean us messing up.

Yeah we’d definitely mess up.

But Risako did say
she wants to eat udon.

-I think we can do udon.
-Yeah, udon might be okay.

-We’ll be able to cook that.
-Definitely.

Good, good. She said it’s fine if it’s plain.

-We'll be able to make it then!
-That means she’s scared of us making it then.

She’s scared of eating botched udon.

Yeah.

So, want to go buy the ingredients?

Yeah, let’s go.

I think this is my first time cooking
at Terrace House, actually.

Um, for udon, do you use
the green end or the white end?

Wait, what?

Which side do I use?

For green onions…
you use this part.

Really?

Either part is fine I think, though.

Do I cut up all of it?

Wait, is this how you do it?

Wait, am I supposed to
slice it this thin?

-I’m being annoying aren’t I?
-What is it?

For udon, the…
Okay.

Wait, this is right, right?
I’m scared.

Risako’s pretty funny.

Since she’s not feeling well
enough to make it herself,

she told me to buy her
a premade nabeyaki udon dinner.

Wait, not nabeyaki, an udon dinner.

I guess she's not too confident in the,
“Sota and Maya cooking udon for dinner” option.

Exactly, exactly.

I can’t blame her though.

Uh, do I take this off from here?

Huh? Yeah, well,
you cut it off.

-Why is it stuck like this?
-Aren't you supposed to cut it?

So, like this?

It’s not coming off?

Did it come off?

No, It cracked.

Wait, is this how you’re
supposed to do it?

Where’re the measuring cups again?

Isn’t it fine to just eyeball it?

It’s like one big ball...

Is this really the right way to do it?

Shouldn’t we add in sake and mirin?

You don’t put those in right?

You don’t?

-Wait, are you supposed to?
-I don’t know.

If you use those you'll look like
a real chef though. Definitely.

You’re laughing!
Then you’re not putting them in?

Guess I won’t.

That’s funny!

This is my first time seeing
something you can’t do.

There’s tons of stuff I can’t do.

Really? But you're always
good at everything.

Oh, something's starting to happen!

Okay Okay Okay.
It’s already been two minutes.

Isn’t this fine?

Will this really be alright, though?

Will what be?

I mean, will this really taste good?

That’s what we have this for, right?

Yeah.

Oh, true we do have that!

I’m going to taste-test it.

You look like a robot.

Well, it’s udon alright.

Pretty much.

Well.

So, what do you think?
It’s looks good right?

You sure do have a happy look
on your face about this udon.

Wait, what?

-Hey Risako!
-Woah!

You look like you’re
in a ton of pain.

Thanks.

-Are you okay?
-Seriously!

I’m okay.

You made me udon?

-Well...
-Yeah...

You could say that.

What?

-It 's a bit...
-Yeah...

If it ends up being bad, you don't
have to force yourself to eat it.

Why?

If it tastes bad, we have this.

We have the back-up plan
you asked for.

Thanks.

Seriously, thanks for taking
out the time to do this.

You all are really nice, thanks.

It’s fine.

This is the first time Sota and I've
cooked together on Terrace House.

Thanks for the food.

Yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen
you or Sota cooking before.

-It was a pretty horri... I mean great sight.
-You don’t want to see it.

Thanks for the food.

You two went shopping together?

Yeah.

Yeah, since you were all like,

“I don’t feel well enough
to make it myself."

"I’ll be fine with just a
nabeyaki udon dinner.”

Oh. It’s good.

-Oh! She said it!
-Really?!

She said it’s good, see!

-It’s good.
-Delicious!

My cold’s already curing up!

It’s pretty healthy actually.

Some nice bland udon.

Yeah, it’s bland.

-Yeah.
-That’s true.

It's been years since I’ve ran
such a high fever, though.

Is it pretty high?

It was 39 degrees yesterday.

Woah!

This is great. Being sick when
you live alone is the worst.

-It is.
-Right?

Yeah, when I lived alone
it was the worst.

Right?

Oh, you lived alone Sota?

-Yeah, I also lived alone for a bit.
-Oh really.

-Yeah.
-Oh!

Wait, how long’s it been
since you got divorced?

It was when I was twenty-two…

When I was still twenty-two, I think.

-So that's four...
-Four years

So, four years ago?

Yeah, around there.

Has your ex said anything?

Like, “I saw you on tv,” or something?

Oh, yeah, we talked.

-Oh, you did?
-Yeah.

-With your ex-wife?
-She said she saw me.

Really?! She said something?!

Yeah, she did.

I mean, I had already told her beforehand
that I was going to be on Terrace House.

What’d you talk about?

Just normal stuff...
You know, on Instagram,

you know how like people are
always commenting different stuff,

and there’s haters too sometimes.

-So, those kind of comments.
-True, people have different opinions.

-Right, right.

Anyway she said some stuff like,

"Sota you’re the kind of guy who gets
stronger when people bash you.”

-Oh.
-Really?

“It’s probably better when
people are beating up on you.”

-That’s being married for you. She really knows you.
-Yeah, that’s true.

But you know,
if you just saw that part,

It’d probably make you think,
"Man this guy’s kind of too much,” you know?

Yeah, that’s right.

Not the part about you having a child,
but the way you talked to Aya.

I meant that as a
“let’s be friends!” kind of way.

Like, “oh, you want me to be your driver?”

-What in the world?!
-Really?!

-Are you seriously saying that?
-That’s the way I was thinking of it.

That’s definitely not how it was!

From the start,

He’s laughing!

Sota you really have a crazy laugh!

That’s probably...

Oh, really?

That’s probably how I am.
I just tend to be a little abrupt when I speak.

-Yeah, you probably are like that.
-Really?

I also thought that at first.

I guess you could say, well...

I think it also has to due with pride.

-I think you have a lot of pride Sota. Probably.
-Right, right.

So then when this girl
who’s younger than you is all like...

I mean, rather than having a lot of pride,

it’s not like I’m really confident
in myself in the first place,

so it’s more like
I’m pretending to be confident.

At my core.

I can understand that.

But you don’t have to do that,
you know.

Yeah, I mean.

Like you said just now.

How you pretend like you're confident
even though you really aren't.

You don’t have to try so hard
to do that here though, you know.

That’s what I think.

It’s hot!
I’m starting to sweat!

-You should take your medicine.
-Right?

Do you take it after eating?

-Upstairs, upstairs.
-Oh, upstairs?

Well, I guess I should go take
my medicine now.

Thanks you two, really.

-Really sorry about the udon.
-No problem.

We'll probably eat something
a little more put-together later.

Okay, I’m going to go take
my medicine and go back to bed.

-Take it and get some rest.
-Yeah, hope you feel better.

Thanks.

It’s fine.

Have a good sleep.

Thanks.

She’s so cute.
Even when she’s sick she’s cute.

I’ve never seen
a 28 year old that cute.

-Great, we made it through.
-Yeah…

She was able to eat it
without a problem.

Yeah…

She tried to be nice about it...

Yeah, she was definitely
trying to be nice about it!

But nothing we can do about it, though.

Yeah, it can’t be helped.
