The correct answer was d. Hanshin Gardening〜
Quoted from (11) Koshien Ground Keepers▽Goto Mojako Fishing▽Sashimeshi – Salameshi – NHK
The main focus of the broadcast was Komatsu-san, a ground keeper in his sixth year working for Hanshin Gardening.

Koshien Stadium is the only home stadium of a professional baseball team where the infield is made of dirt,

and Hanshin Gardening has been maintaining that Koshien Stadium field for over half a century〜😆Amazing!!

There are 15 ground keepers in total. During games, it was impressive to see them in the waiting area beside the field, watching the TV and checking the condition of the dirt with serious expressions😊

There’s also an employee cafeteria inside the stadium, and it seems they can have lunch there as part of their benefits. Komatsu-san chose a large serving of katsu curry at the restaurant(probably docomo lounge koshien. Sorry if that’s wrong)〜. The photo shows a regular serving of Koshien Curry without katsu
Unfortunately, both the original broadcast and rerun have already ended, but you can watch it on NHK Plus until Thursday, July 11 at 8:42 p.m.〜(Those with a receiving contract can register and watch at no extra charge〜
