They’re fully enjoying their meal with the happy combination of meat, rice, and beer.

This commercial depicts an exchange between Masato Sakai and Kotone Furukawa set in a restaurant.
When Sakai says, “Can I get a white?” Furukawa recommends a chilled Iyemon tea, replying, “The green is better than the white.” When Sakai responds, “That’s impossible,” the other customers all turn to look at him at once.
With a flustered expression, Sakai wonders if he’s the one saying something strange.
It ends with Sakai, still bewildered, clinking glasses with Furukawa while holding a wine glass filled with Iyemon.
It humorously conveys that Iyemon is a perfect companion to meals.

Furukawa plays a ryokan attendant in Kyoto, while Sakai plays a guest.
Speaking in the Kyoto dialect, Furukawa points out to Sakai—who has visited Kyoto many times—that he’s never tried Iyemon tea, which flusters him.
Near the end, she offers him an Iyemon, and Sakai appears ready to drink it, but he never lets go of his tense expression.
The quiet conversation carries a taut undercurrent, and the interplay between the two is strangely addictive.
Open House “My Home Man Collaboration” EditionMasato Sakai, Kaoru Okunuki, Chinatsu Yui Fujimoto

Now that the house is finally taking shape, the kaiju fights back more fiercely, and just when things get dangerous, there’s an unexpected twist: his daughter appears, suddenly grown to giant size.
It’s moving to see the daughter—who had been rebellious toward her father until now—speaking to the kaiju, but the tone also turns comical when the monster bites her arm and head, causing her to get angry just like her father.
Sakai’s ineffably bewildered expressions are another delightful touch that will make you laugh.
