■ Now, wouldn't you tell me your story about "Buta-man?"

T: I remember I got some troubles when was young taking part in manufacture.


■ What kind of trouble?

T: We chop onions for making "Buta-mans." We cannot stop shedding tears because of chopping a great amount of onions in our factory early morning. So every time I came to work, I cried.


■ I've got you. Those cannot be that tasty without onions, however.

T: Let me mention about the way to eat "Buta-mans." There's a thin wooden sheet under a Buta-man, isn't there? We usually peel that off and bite the leftovers sticking to the sheet.



■ I believe most of people in the Kinki district have done it.

T: What I want to tell you is that you can enjoy the Buta-mans just as they are. Of course, you can also enjoy with mustard. However, they are tasty as they are. When you buy the Buta-man, it is automatically with mustard. There are usually two or three packs of the mustard inside refrigerators in the Kansai district, but.


■ I know.

T: Mustard can add another enjoyment. I desire you to know the tastiness as it is first, however.



■ Free is that mustard. Why don't you make it admission-paid?

T: Um... we have tried so hard to let it stay free thanks to the traders. Also, we must keep on trying to be a good manager not to raise the price of the Buta-mans.
