Folktales from Japan

Season 1 Episode 96: Sumo Inari / The Fava Bean, Straw, and Charcoal / The Man of the East & the Man of the West

The lord of a poor province is sad to see how weak his sumo wrestlers are for this year's tournament, but they all defeat even the strongest wrestlers. A fava bean, a piece of straw, and a piece of charcoal all bounce out of an old woman's kitchen and decide to visit Ise. There are two men who live on the east and west side of town, and each night they come to a bar to drink. They always drink the same drink, and insult each other. Source: crunchyroll
