Episode 6 【I’ve Gotten Fatter…?】
The five club members arrive at an outlet mall and start things off by spending time at a cafe.
Mako orders a huge pancake for herself, surprising the other girls. With stomachs full, they visit the shop where Nana’s older sister works.
Mako tries on a skirt at Kurea and the others’ recommendation, but she can’t zip it up… When she gets home, she hesitantly weighs herself and discovers she’s put on weight! Mako resolves to diet, forbidding herself from snacks and deciding to hit the gym.
Nana and Tsutsuji accompany her, but the three of them struggle due to a lack of physical strength. Meanwhile, Shinon and Kurea work to create content for the club’s homepage.
Just when they think they’ve got everything in order, the student affairs clerk requests for a picture of them all sitting around a table eating.
Recap the previous episodes below:
Episode 5 【Wanna Go Out For a Drive?】
Kurea and Shinon’s hard work pays off and they get their driver’s licenses.
The five of them decide to go for a drive in the car from Kurea’s family’s restaurant. Kurea tells Mako, who has never even thought about getting her license, about the fond memories she has of her mother taking her in the car to Tsukiji when she was a kid.
The first one to take the wheel is Shinon. She’s so nervous about her first time driving that just when she thinks everything is going well, she accidentally gets on the freeway. She can’t manage to get to an exit, so they’re all relieved when she somehow finds her way to a rest stop.
Next at the wheel is Kurea, who takes them all the way to Tsukiji. They snack as they walk along shops full of neatly arranged fresh fish and have fun buying ingredients. Since there’s a barbecue area nearby, they decide to have a barbecue.
Shinon and Nana play nearby on the beach, Tsutsuji starts the fire, and with Kurea and Mako in charge of the cooking, the barbecue begins!
Episode 4 【Her Name is Nana Hoshi】
Mako accidentally bumps into a girl while leaving German class. She apologizes reflexively, but is frightened after realizing that the girl is glaring at her. Later, as Mako relaxes alone in the clubroom, she senses a presence near the door.
That person turns out to be the scary girl she bumped into! Since she seems to have some business with the Gastronomy Research Club, Mako invites her in, but the atmosphere turns awkward.
Mako finds an opportunity to escape, but Tsutsuji shows up and introduces the girl as her high school classmate, Nana Hoshi. Nana didn’t join the Gastronomy Research Club because she wanted to start a Puzzle Club, but her bone-deep shyness caused her to give up and decide to join the Gastronomy Research Club instead.
After welcoming Nana to the club, Tsutsuji suggests that the three of them study together on Saturday, but…
Episode 3 【The Money’s Gone】
Mako is slowly getting along with the other members of the Gastronomy Research Club. They decide to go out together over the weekend, but then Shinon starts crying to them about losing her secret savings.
They all visit Shinon’s house to look for the missing money, but it turns out that Shinon has forgotten where she hid it. With a cryptic sticky note as their only lead, they try to solve the mystery together.
On a clear morning, Mako and the others meet up to climb Mount Takao. They have fun along the path to the shrine, finding souvenirs and buying snacks to eat on the go.
Near the summit, they come across a teahouse that previously appeared in one of Mokotaro’s videos, so they all stop there for a rest and some lunch. Mako orders the popular menu item that Mokotaro ate…
Episode 2 【I Want to Try Cooking】
Mako joins the “Gastronomy Research Club”, a fake club that Shinon randomly made up in order to get themselevs a clubroom.
Contrary to Mako’s expectation, their first club activity is to give their room a thorough cleaning. Even though they goof around, they manage to finish tidying up.
The next day, they each bring something of their choice to the clubroom. Kurea brings a table, Shinon brings games, Mako brings a kettle, and Tsutsuji brings a sofa so huge that it barely fits through the door.
As they enjoy a relaxing time with the black tea Mako brought, a clerk from student affairs comes to check on their club activities. They are informed that a club with no real activities will be disbanded immediately, so they’ll have to do something that shows what their club is all about by the next day.
How will they show proof of their club activities, in a clubroom that has no cooking equipment other than the kettle Mako brought?
Episode 1 【Welcome to the Food Culture Research Club】
Mako Kawai, a university freshman, has just started living on her own. Her hobby is cooking, and she cooks for herself every day. One day, she is aggressively approached by Shinon Ogawa.
It turns out Shinon is her childhood friend from elementary school, and is attending the same university. Together with Shinon are Tsutsuji Higa and Kurea Furutate. The three of them invite Mako to join their new club, the “Gastronomy Research Club”.
Caught off guard by the sudden reunion and club invitation, Mako reflexively declines. One day, while feeling down and looking at a shop display window, Kurea calls out to her.
The shop is run by Kurea’s mother, and Kurea works part-time there. Mako has never been one to eat out alone, but when the sauce katsudon that she has always wanted to try is served before her, she unconsciously starts gobbling down the food…
