Inogashira Goro (Matsushige Yutaka) arrives in Kiyose, Tokyo for his appointment with an eyewear shop owner (Shiga Kotaro). However, the client is at the moment playing mahjong so Goro goes to the mahjong parlor instead and waits for him to finish. Afterwards, the two proceed with their meeting which ends on a good note, if only the owner had not insisted on making Goro try out some of his flashy sunglasses.

五郎は西武池袋線の清瀬駅に降り立った。商店街に入ると、さっそく焼鳥を焼いている音に気づき振り返る。「・・な~んかいいんじゃないの・・」
その時大橋幸三(志賀廣太郎)から電話があり、待ち合わせ場所がなぜか雀荘にかわる。看板には「健康マージャン」とあるのだが、大橋がまさかの大負けする光景を目にし、ちっとも健康じゃない気分の五郎。
その後大橋の店メガネサロンにて、五郎的には問題なく仕事をこなすとお腹がすいてきた。
駅の近くまで戻ると、店構えにぐっと来た「みゆき食堂」に入る。
思ったより広い店内にひるむ五郎だが、それ以上に壁に並んだ短冊の多さにひるむ。
客も、独り酒を飲みながら食事する老人、ガテン系、初老のカップルと強烈だ。
メニューの多さに悩みつつも、お店のお母さん(ふせえり)に「もやしと肉のピリ辛イタメ」「味噌にんにく唐辛子入り」「ジャンボ餃子のハーフ」そしてご飯と味噌汁を頼む。間違いないその味を堪能しているが、隣の客につられて「やきとり」まで追加してしまう五郎だった。
