So we end this day with a breather.

Hiro visits Tora, but this time Hiro offers to cook instead. Nothing else to say. Enjoy the scene :)

Now for a nerd moment: Ochazuke is a dish consisting of rice with choice of toppings submerged in hot tea, usually with green teas like sencha, genmaicha, etc. Usual toppings are furikake, shredded nori, katsuobushi, salted salmon (shiojake), pickled plum (umeboshi), or whatever is on hand, which makes it a great quick snack to whip up. Sometimes dashi is used instead of tea for a more umami taste.

Also as for Tora's commment, there's a saying that in Kyoto if one is a guest and is asked if one wants ochazuke, it's usually a polite way of saying that one has overstayed his welcome. This is from what I've read so far about the dish so take it with a grain of salt.
