Listen, Kishi-san, the customers here are the top food connoisseurs representing Japan. This is spaghetti topped with Hiradake! Good job, Kishi-san! You brought something amazing! I’m impressed that you made such a menu. Well then, let’s taste it at Iterake and get the feel of this soup. What is the northern sky rice spaghetti about? Ah, you seem to be observing like this. Kishi is from Tokyo and there isn’t much to this place. The taste is light yet rich. This is an appetizer from Tokyo. I saw something incredible while sitting by the coast. What’s on the menu, Kishi-san? Don’t cry. Kishi-san is holding various items. Ah, you also brought this sauce? It’s great! You prepared a nice dish, didn’t you? I wonder who it was who brought back this Japanese flavor. Is the sky to the east going to change? How fresh it feels! The sauce looks amazing; this is wonderful! Next week, we’ll have Supa Supa! Oh, I feel exhilarated. The elements of the water are incorporated. Did such a place exist here? Hiradake from Shimane? I’m one of the previous CEOs and I was amazed. It was a busy year for live fish and mayo. The pairing was good. I saw it in the book before. Are you Japanese? There’s a taste of the mountain. I apologize for the delay, could you please let this clear? Sorry for the inconvenience. The ingredients grown in the region… There are many vegetables served. It’s getting exciting with the way the sauce goes! The taste is extraordinary, isn’t it? The dish has been prepared thoughtfully. It’s fascinating how large the ingredients seem to have grown. This wide sauce has increased the number of customers. They even let me wash it! Thank you for your kindness! I’m in for a real treat now. Today, let’s enjoy this heavenly taste together. The spaghetti is refreshing, and the great menu is delicious! I can already envision the start of something special. What will we eat today?
Yamaoka says, “Give me sake.”
It’s a losing trend.
Japanese people love noodles! I honestly can’t agree with that.
>>3
What I find unacceptable is what I don’t understand.
Even though there are hundreds of types of pasta, we’re a people who almost only eat spaghetti.
It’s just too far-fetched to say you don’t like noodles.
I understand that Yamaoka will lose, but I want to eat both.
With Uozan attacking first and Yamaoka confidently in the rearguard, the audience is excited—are they really going to lose from here?
>>5
You can tell from Kurita’s reaction.
The taste of Oyama is honestly something I can imagine.
It’s probably incredibly delicious because of the difference in the ingredients.
Some say that while sea urchin, salmon roe, and abalone are delicious, they are not that great as spaghetti.
Oishinbo has quite a few patterns where it loses in the later stages, doesn’t it?
I’m curious to see how Yōzan will reason and win with this.
>>10
The deliciousness of the sauce is overshadowing the flavor of the noodles.
Japanese people enjoy soba and udon noodles, so let’s think more about it! I feel defeated when I’m told that.
>>10
What you have is just delicious because of the high-quality ingredients; it’s not really spaghetti.
>>10
What was it? The ultimate one was so luxurious that only the taste of the ingredients left an impression.
I love it because the supreme flavor of the noodles is so delicious that I never get tired of eating them every day.
Is it true that the supreme wins for such common reasons?
>>10
It should be that even pasta, being a type of noodle, is something that the Japanese are well-suited to enjoy when it comes to tasting delicious noodles.
I think it’s different when you bring up examples like udon or soba after this.
So, what about ramen and yakisoba?
>>11
Since I couldn’t get into that, it’s Yamaoka’s loss.
>>20
The ultimate and supreme showdown is not just about pure flavor; it has a significant aspect of being a presentation battle like this…
>>26
The best ingredient sourcing and optimal cooking methods are naturally expected, so the battle should actually be about how accurately we can present our answers as dishes in a competition between the supreme and the ultimate. However, because Yamaoka is foolish, we end up with ridiculous losses like this pasta competition and hot pot competition.
>>11
Aren’t there really not many places that serve these dishes based on the deliciousness of ingredients like sea urchin and salmon roe?
>>53
It has a bit of a touristy feel, doesn’t it? It’s 1,000 yen for ramen.
It was a story about how, since it’s a noodle dish, we should compete in a way that brings out the deliciousness of the noodles…
Could it be that what you want to eat every day is the former or something like that…?
Well, it seems that Yamauka has been caught up in his own schemes.
Moreover, it’s restricted by the condition of being “Japanese people’s favorite spaghetti.”
I don’t think sea urchin cream goes well with sake.
Isn’t it just a response battle now?
>>23
I’ve been stating the conditions from the beginning.
>>23
You seem to be really bad at presentations.
Yozan sometimes makes simple dishes like Cooking Papa, so it’s unfair…
In short, it’s peperoncino without chili, with onions and topped with butter.
I can make it with ingredients I have at home.
Alright… then I guess I’ll have to serve the tea pasta.
>>27
You have been captivated by appearances and forgotten the essence.
At this time, Yamaoka is poorly equipped with theory, so even if he swaps the menu, he will lose to Oyama.
I think it’s easier to eat and leaves a stronger impression when the sauce is well-coated rather than having pasta with clumps of ingredients.
This is quite understandable.
This story is about reaffirming that Yamaoka’s best partner is Kuriko and that Futaki Mariko is inadequate.
The spaghetti showdown became a victim of the story.
I would be troubled if I were served spaghetti that a Japanese person would prefer but I have never eaten.
>>33
Personally, rather than labeling something as ultimate or supreme, I wish for them to offer something rare and delicious that I can enjoy at least once in my lifetime.
>>39
Yōzan has long since transcended such satisfaction…
>>39
It’s not that I’m a food connoisseur, as shown in episode 2.
>>48
But even a super gourmet old man who says “fuck you” knows that the high-end delicacy soup, which he didn’t know about, is one of the ultimate menu items…
Everyone likes carbonara, so that’s fine, right?
>>34
Since there are elderly people as well, I would like to recommend tarako spaghetti.
It can be made with just cod roe, butter, green shiso, and seaweed.
If you add something like sea urchin, it would be delicious.
Japanese fine dining really loves the flavor of the ingredients, so I understand the reasoning behind it.
This is about haute cuisine, which is separate from everyday meals, but the dishes that come out in this competition are basically on the high-end side…
>>35
Well, it’s not like that…
>>185
No, it’s high-end.
Carefully raised local chickens’ first eggs and persimmons that have been grown specifically for five years.
I prefer having the ingredients for yakisoba served separately; it makes it easier to eat and I like it.
When things like sea urchin and salmon roe are brought up, I start wanting rice more than pasta.
If both are equally delicious, I think it’s fine to consider the concept of “shiko” as the winner.
Stir-fried noodles are delicious when eaten occasionally.
Well, if we assume that the deliciousness is equal, then it would be more advantageous not to get tired of eating…
Well, it’s only natural that the one with stronger persuasion will win.
Using delicious olive oil makes the noodles taste great, so I understand the joy of simplicity.
Well, the judges are probably tired of eating luxurious things…
>>50
No, I’m really happy though.
For now, it was a time when I was fed up with the saying that something luxurious is the best!
Let’s challenge with Matsutake-flavored soup spaghetti.
If there were abalone in it, I’d honestly be happy.
Noodles that aren’t tasty in ramen are the worst, right?
In the first place, since “Ultimate versus Supreme” is a project for a newspaper article, it has to be presented in a way that makes people convinced, so one must be able to create a satisfactory presentation for the article.
It’s not enough to just say it’s delicious!
The main character is the noodles, not the ingredients or sauce, which is a rationale I can understand.
I think the soup is the main part of ramen.
If you’re going to battle the ultimate Shiko and the supreme Shiko.
The one with persuasive arguments will win, right?
When considering the perspective of Japanese preferences, it may be stronger to argue for soba or udon over ramen, which has a shorter history.
Yamaoka is definitely more delicious, but it also has a bit of a nouveau riche feel.
>>62
This is a story about Yamaoka, who ate this spaghetti and said that Oyama made it so he could serve really delicious spaghetti.
It seems likely.
>>85
If it’s fried rice instead of spaghetti, a gambling-obsessed Chinese chef will use high-end ingredients like crazy.
On the contrary, there’s a story that Mr. Yamaoka might win with a fried rice that brings out the deliciousness of rice using salted mackerel.
In the first egg showdown, we used high-quality ingredients for the competition, but since we published an article saying you can easily make pickled miso at home, it’s you, Yūzan.
If the ingredients are too strong, it makes sense that you’d just say they’re delicious.
A5 domestic black-haired wagyu steak yakisoba! If that’s what they said.
Well, I think it would be like, “Can I just have the steak by itself…?”
Yamaoka gets a bit strange when it comes to Kazuyama…
>>66
I wonder if their parents were killed…
If you’re using this many ingredients, I feel like it doesn’t even have to be pasta anymore.
Is it contemporary art?
If you show off your wealth, you’ll lose.
>>71
But in the Five Great Hot Pots! Yamaoka-san gets beaten up…
>>78
That’s simply Yamaoka’s pot, how should I put it…
>>78
Wasn’t that a pretty high-class one that Ouyama used too?
>>89
It’s quite or rather extremely luxurious, but being ultimate and supreme while worrying about money is muddled, and I’m getting argued against.
>>103
Even special judges are told that, in front of the Buddha, high-quality ingredients and cheap ingredients are the same…
>>71
It’s not like that at all, you know…
There are many patterns that end up being high cost, but…
As for the abalone, using the abalone on its own has its merits, and the wasabi accompaniment is also quite unique and not bad at all.
It feels like putting caviar on pasta is a bit much…
Garlic pasta naturally pairs incredibly well, and the tomato sauce is also the best, but…
Sea urchin and abalone are definitely better enjoyed in a different way…
But even if the dishes being served were reversed, would Miyama still win?
>>76
Compared to Yamaoka’s simple spaghetti, Unabara’s is extraordinarily rich in flavor!
Uminbara’s victory!
>>76
In the longevity cooking showdown, Ōyama presented an absurdly expensive dish, as if he thinks only the wealthy who can eat this every day exist in this world, is he stupid? Since he lost to the dish Yamaoka presented, Ōyama will probably lose too.
>>107
That’s just for the sake of making a fool of the wealthy CEO by feeding him ridiculous food, while the media comes to cover the showdown…
This chestnut is quite humid…
It seems like the situation where adding what was provided and dividing it will turn out just right, is a bit excessive.
I understand that ultimately, simple pasta is the most delicious.
I was surprised to learn that the ultimate vs. supreme battle actually takes place after the midpoint.
I was sure that was the core from the very beginning.
>>83
In the beginning, there isn’t much of a role for Yozan.
>>83
It feels like that in anime, right?
>>88
In the anime, the first confrontation happens after episode 50, so it’s quite a bit later.
>>51
When it came time to face the ultimate menu afterwards,
Yamaoka is complaining that he originally wanted to create a menu featuring carefully selected dishes for each season.
If it’s pasta as part of everyday life, Yuuzan overwhelmingly stands out.
If you occasionally want to splurge or eat out, then it’s Yamaoka’s.
It has a vibe like a presentation contest.
Sometimes the losing side makes a fatal mistake.
>>91
I messed up how to boil the turnip.
This match is postponed!!!
>>94
Yamato is too kind.
I really think it’s true that even if it’s said to cater to Japanese preferences, there’s no need to be particularly tied to a Japanese style.
>>92
If another manga also featured a luxurious Japanese-style spaghetti with this theme, it would definitely be a losing flag, I guess…
The answer is too easy.
The moment I thought it was a presentation showdown was during the cooking competition at the wedding.
Goemon’s pasta is delicious!
It seems like it’s just a little bit of noodles as an extra with the delicious filling.
Even though it’s the middle stage, the battle starts from volume 15!
>>98
Yeah, I think what you’re talking about is probably the anime version.
In the anime, the actual battles only begin around episode 50 out of a total of 120 episodes.
Don’t show off your materials or your cooking skills, they’ve told you that countless times, Yamaoka.
Please give me carbonara!
It’s the one with pancetta, not bacon!
By the way, since Yamaoka often serves simple dishes in stories about helping people, it might be good to do something like that in a showdown with your dad.
>>102
When dealing with Kōzan, I can’t help but feel the urge to try and outsmart him…
Moreover, during this time, the guidance provided to an aspiring independent chef whom I met through an acquaintance was also demonstrated with these two dishes, making it quite a showdown where Yamamoto had absolutely no good points.
If there is no clear flaw in the flavor, it’s a battle of ideas, isn’t it?
If you’re competing for the ultimate supreme, then it’s fine to go with Yamaoka.
When it comes to a match against Yōzan, I become stubborn and my vision narrows.
>>108
Your IQ drops sharply, doesn’t it, Yamaoka?
Well, it’s because I’m convinced it’s the enemy of my mother, so there’s nothing I can do about it.
>>118
Well, that’s how it is.
It’s hard to stay calm when dealing with someone who irritates you.
Ouzan gives a lot of hints.
If the topic is Japanese preferences, I feel like I want to suggest Napolitan.
>>110
A delicious and intricate Neapolitan pasta isn’t really a Neapolitan pasta…
The flavor of the ingredients is pushing through; Yamaoka, we can still win.
Much later, when Yamaoka had a fried rice competition against a fallen Chinese chef, it was the same logic.
It was easier to accept that simpler ingredients could win against fried rice piled high with luxurious toppings.
In a tofu competition, using scoopable tofu, in a sweet contest, with dried persimmons.
Since it’s a tomato salad, Yōzan really likes the taste of the ingredients.
>>117
Drawing out is holding back, right!
>>120
Even so, after that, if it’s tofu in a strainer, that’s just a straight pitch at its best, right?
Yamaoka, who was led on by Mariko, fails because he overlooks her flaws.
If Mr. Kurita doesn’t get angry.
>>119
It’s troublesome because they do the exact same thing in salmon competitions.
As expected, the manager got really angry.
If Japanese people like the deliciousness that brings out the flavors of the ingredients, what is sukiyaki, yakisoba with sauce, okonomiyaki, and ramen?
>>121
This is purely about noodles, so I think the comparison made by Ouyama using kake udon or mori soba was convincing.
The ramen doesn’t have that many toppings anyway.
It is Yuuzan who always prioritizes essence.
If you get attached to cooking skills or brands, you usually get angry.
That’s exactly how well-made mentaiko pasta is.
Thank you to the person who came up with this.
I like that you are properly cooking tofu for the second time.
Are you a material type?
Have there ever been moments where I won without a doubt?
>>128
Breakfast
>>149
The one Kuriko thought of!
>>159
The butter is too strong…
If it’s a gourmet battle, I would definitely win.
This is a cooking competition worthy of being featured in a menu that will go down in human history…
So, limitations and background play a significant role as well.
It’s a pasta for Japanese people, or rather a type of cheap meal, but I want to try a reimagined version of ochazuke pasta based on the gourmet standards from “Delicious!”
In terms of curry competition, Yuuzan is actually better, but isn’t it leaning a bit too much towards Indian?
Isn’t a simple ultimate curry better with more options for ingredients that Japanese people like? It sometimes results in a tie.
Even though Japanese people say it’s delicious, if they like the taste of the ingredients, then that’s already a predetermined answer, isn’t it?
>>134
Well, as long as the judges here are satisfied, that’s what matters; it’s not the logic for the general public.
Yamaoka’s pasta is crap…
>>136
Yamaoka’s story about ayu is really trash because Kyogoku is rich, so he goes to mooch drinks, gets drunk, and ends up knocking Kyogoku off the stairs, causing such serious injuries that he has to be hospitalized, Tommy.
>>154
Tommy is like a device that automatically causes a mishap and adds a twist to the story…
That’s exactly it; the judges are tired of eating expensive things…
Showing tomatoes like that is just plain ridiculous.
Rather than anything else, Yōzan is fully intent on using the ultimate versus supreme as a training ground for his heir.
I really like Ryozo.
Despite being involved in a scandal, the fact that Yuuzan is highly praised is something.
>>142
Your pottery skills are good! Your cooking skills are good! You’re young! Your brother is also a good cook!
Both brothers fall in love with a gloomy woman…
It’s A5 rank steak ramen! When it was served, the steak was super delicious!
No matter how delicious it may be, I think it’s natural to feel that this isn’t quite right as ramen…
It’s delicious, but when it comes to the theme of wanting to eat it every day or pasta settling in Japan…
Simple dishes like peperoncini and tomato-based sauces have really become established, haven’t they?
There is also seafood pasta at Joripa, but I can’t say it’s something for everyday use.
Which one do you prefer, regular cup noodles or curry flavor?
>>145
It’s hard to choose, but in the world of gourmet manga, there might be a scenario where by combining ramen and curry, instead of achieving harmony, the good points of both are overshadowed, leading to a defeat for the curry flavor.
I mean, nowadays it seems that foreigners would be more pleased with sea urchin and abalone.
>>146
“I will engage in poaching.”
To all the food enthusiasts who appreciate the foie gras from the first episode.
Returning to Mr. Yamaoka who brought out the ankimo…
>>148
It suddenly turned out like this for a big match against Oyama.
>>148
Yamaoka-san, when you lose to your dad, you have moves like the opponents you usually defeat…
In a calm situation, it’s not just about using high-end ingredients! That’s what you should be able to do, Yamaoka…
>>150
When dealing with Ouyama, it’s easy to get heated, isn’t it, Yamaoka?
Yuko around here is cute.
In fact, peperoncino has become extremely popular in Japan…
But Mariko’s Kurita keeps complaining but doesn’t offer any alternative, which is critical.
>>155
The second thing he says is, “What should we do, Yamaoka-san?” so I understand how he feels.
>>155
It may be true, but if it’s Yamauka with a wealth of knowledge, it would be better to let him come up with another idea himself.
I like romantic comedies around here.
The judges didn’t dig deeper, did they?
Breakfast is a magnificent win, but that also involves Koya…
I wonder if there are any examples of winning after thoroughly indulging and looking down on the opponent.
>>164
It’s the supreme side, but the pot completely looks down on the ultimate, putting pressure and narrowing the thinking, giving a sense of victory through strategy.
>>164
The dessert competition, for example, is noticeable.
In the case of Ouyama, the material itself may not appear to be a high-end material at first glance.
The process of cultivating that takes an absurd amount of effort, so both are luxury items.
>>164
During the hot pot cooking, the Oyama side presented an extremely luxurious hot pot and won decisively.
“The theme of ‘hot pot dishes must be something that everyone recognizes’ was misunderstood, and in the end, Yamaoka insisted on cheap ingredients, lined up a lot of them, and said to cook however you like! That hot pot is garbage.”
It’s fine until I pick up Mariko, but when I lose terribly…
Don’t get depressed, don’t get depressed! It’s definitely Kurita-san who can pat Yamaoka’s back…
I could probably eat an adequately tasty garlic spaghetti or meat spaghetti.
It seems like there won’t be many opportunities to eat things like salmon roe and sea urchin pasta or abalone pasta, even if they’re reasonably delicious.
If I’m going to eat, I’d prefer the latter.
If Yamauka hadn’t done anything boring, Tofu 2 would have been a complete victory.
>>173
I like how in that showdown, Ouyama got seriously angry before Shirou could do anything, and it feels like they’re on equal footing now.
A story from before peperoncino became popular in Japan.
Normally, Yamaoka can respond according to what she was drilled on in the Gourmet Club.
>>176
The crisis of Mount Ouzan is good, isn’t it…
>>176
Munch munch… This is Tsugumi!!
>>189
(You should notice before you eat…!)
There are certainly occasions where high-quality ingredients shine, but in those moments, you tend to miss the mark, don’t you, Yamaoka-san?
Volume 25 was in 1990.
So, does that mean it’s before the Italian food boom? During the boom?
Since Yuyama loses regularly, the idea that exchanging dishes wouldn’t change the outcome is something I can only say is not true.
The difference in life experience levels is too great for something like that.
I don’t really come up with alternatives, but that doesn’t mean…
If it’s something from a famous store in Kyoto, you must know about Ouyama, right? I really need you to respond seriously, or I’m going to be in trouble.
I just dislike showing off that it’s high-end, but it is indeed expensive…
But you know,
Yozan is also at fault.
In the end, making good materials costs money.
>>188
I think it’s a work that is consistent in that regard.
Kurita is seriously a woman who is only useful for pointing out flaws.
Well, the potted tomatoes were all about impact and persuasion, so it ended in a draw.
Even if we compete in Yamaoka’s direction, it seems like Ouyama will come up with something better.
In this match, the ingredients from the Yōzan side are probably top-notch as well…
I’m losing because there are big horse owners among the judges who serve horse sashimi.
I think that’s pretty harsh… Of course, it’s lacking in consideration, but…
