While on a trip with the family to see the temples of Kyoto, Michael bumps into Onizuka, the great authority on Japanese cuisine. The family are invited to lunch to try out Saba-zushi (sushi made with mackerel), a local specialty. Asger is disappointed to find that it is unlike the Nigiri-zushi that he is familiar with. Michael starts showing off his knowledge on Saba-zushi, but Onizuka then presents the family with Funa-zushi, a dish from neighbouring Shiga Prefecture featuring a freshwater fish from the carp family. He tells them this dish is where sushi all began. It's a first for Michael.
