What the show covered

Chef
One of the COVID-19 prevention guidelines for restaurants is,
“Focus on the food and keep chatting to a minimum,”
so I came up with this to help customers actually do that!

He seemed very serious about it.

The dish he put a lot of thought into to help people chat less is called

 Silent Napolitan

It’s a Napolitan pasta
so piled high with
seafood like lobster, turban shell, clams, and freshwater clams
that you can barely see the noodles
underneath.
*It’s a shame we can’t show it in a photo here, but it’s piled incredibly high😂

Chef
People get quiet when they eat crab,
so I thought that if there were a dish that was a little tricky to eat
and made you focus completely while eating,
people would naturally talk less
and become quiet!

By the way, on the show,
they secretly tested it on two housewives to see:
“Will this dish really make people chat less?”

Experiment
For the first three minutes, they kept talking while moving their hands.

After that, it worked perfectly!! They were seriously focused on eating the seafood.
(Super quiet😂)

Once they finally reached the pasta, all the chatter they had been holding back came right back!
(They are housewives, after all…)

In the end, Silent Napolitan did successfully reduce the amount of talking!👏

Apparently it takes a lot of work to prepare,
so it’s available by reservation only during dinner hours, limited to 5 servings per day (1,800 yen)
and only until September 27!

Lastly

When it comes to COVID-19, things can easily feel gloomy because it’s all about holding back and following restrictions,
but Tsukushien has found a way to turn that around and make things fun and lively.
That playful spirit is really nice, isn’t it?
The show was fun too, and it left me feeling brighter〜😊

By the way, the missed broadcast is available on TVer until 12 noon tomorrow,
so if this episode caught your interest, check it out!
