The correct answer is d. うどん・そば・どんぶり『はづき』.
It looks like the 3/13 broadcast is available on TVer until 12:30 p.m. on March 27, 2021.
This “はづき” is the shop run by Takatori-kun, the savior who brought golden rookie Teruaki Sato back onto the baseball path♪
Apparently, when Teruaki Sato was in high school, he was thinking about joining the soccer club.
There’s a story that his classmate “Takatori-kun,” who had known Sato since elementary school, told him something like, “Hey, hey, you can’t do that,” and brought him back to the baseball club.
Takatori-kun from “はづき” is the savior of the Hanshin Tigers, the savior of Hanshin fans, and Nishinomiya’s savior who helped produce a golden rookie from Nishinomiya.
※Quoted from the はづき website
Apparently, Sato eats katsudon every time!
Here’s where はづき is located↓↓
The address is 4-19 Arakicho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Actually, Nishitsu has already written articles about both はづき and its katsudon～
We also visited はづき for a gourmet feature↓↓
Here are the articles on the gyoza shops from the four quiz options↓↓
