In principle, it is a club where Oyama entertains guests whenever he feels like it, so that’s fine as well.

The thread image is bad because I became critically unconscious after reading it and during the process of conveying the menu.

Mr. Yamaoka will make a mistake after this, too.

It’s an incredibly challenging site.

Shirow, who processed 90% of the elderly mutton meat according to the plan he had assumed, made a mistake at the very end and was severely criticized.

Meanwhile, Nakagawa and Ryōzō, along with the members of the Gourmet Club, were completely at a loss and could not think of any use for it.

>>5

I’m surprisingly lenient with my son…

In the unlikely event that Yōzan passes away, Yamaoka must succeed him.

Is it impossible for the gourmet club to operate?!

>>6

As a restaurant, we can serve food, but we can’t manage other artistic or hospitality-related aspects.

In later years, even with various embellishments, it would be impossible to have flowers or hanging scrolls for Ryozo.

You’re coming up with new ways to serve meals to Ouyama every day, aren’t you?

It is a clear mistake that the meat juices from the mutton are steaming the meat being baked in the oven.

The sauce made with Haccho miso might be good for those who prefer a mellow flavor.

So I made one mistake.

>>9

Wasn’t it that you forgot to put down the grill?

A mistake where the meat is submerged in accumulated fat, even though it is a process to reduce the fat that causes the smell of mutton.

I like the part where Shirou says he can’t show his face with such a dish, so he tells the chef to greet the customers instead.

>>14

>>23

Because before our marriage, you also used to comfort me…

Mr. Yamaoka has been adored since the very beginning.

But Mr. Yamaoka is really incredible, even if he’s not active anymore.

There are definitely aspects that rely on the charisma of Mt. Oyama.

If Yamaoka had a straightforward personality,

If I were to seriously try to become the successor of Oyama, would Oyama be happy about that?

I think the customers were foreigners and it felt troublesome, which must have been tough for the chefs.

Was that the reason why it was made into mutton?

By this time, Kurita is completely part of the Oyama faction…

>>27

Even considering that he’s usually a lazy employee, everyone is unusually tough on Yamaoka, isn’t it?

“They gossip, saying ‘That guy is an adult child with a mother complex, lol,’ but when it comes to being in Yamaoka’s position, they don’t show any understanding or support at all.”

>>30

It might be hard to imagine, considering Fuyumi-san has a past with struggles of being close to someone.

>>30

It’s a manga, so it can’t be helped, but the two senior women are saying that Yamaoka isn’t suitable for Kurita, and that Kurita is being neglected while Yamaoka is chasing after another woman, which is just crazy.

Kurita sometimes seems like he just wants to be close to Yūzan.

Since I see Yamaoka make big mistakes when he gets carried away, as his wife, don’t get too confident and don’t let your guard down until the end. I might have to give him a little nudge every now and then…

>>26

Mr. Yamaoka also acknowledges that if it’s a competition, he loses, and in that context, Oyama recognizes Mr. Yamaoka’s flavor.

>>26

I think that might be the case.

I feel like I’ve been punched in the face when you use my mother as your excuse to lean on Yamaoka.

Kurita is really a complete personality failure.

Mr. Yamaoka seems to have a charismatic pull when looking at the thread images, and I feel that he is inheriting both good and bad traits.

>>29

According to Chiyo, “If Shirou were a person greatly inferior to Yuuzan, Yuuzan would have given up on his guidance early on.”

It’s precisely because he properly inherits talent that Ōyama can’t help but clash with Yamaoka.

I’ve never seen Nakagawa cooking.

It’s a manga where the personality changes depending on the story…

>>41

I just said I want to see a baby inheriting the excellent genes of Mr. Yoyama and his wife, but there’s no blood or tears in it!

>>45

It’s disgusting to only see Yamaoka as a vehicle for genes.

>>41

That aside.

It’s one thing if Yamaoka is silent, but I have already confessed all my feelings to those around me before the wedding.

When you read “Oishinbo” closely, Nakagawa’s job is actually Yūzan’s secretary.

Asking Yamaoka-san for a favor, just as an intermediary, as a chef.

I can’t find any excellent depictions.

>>44

Well, there’s no need to show that anyway.

Well, there might have been episodes centered around Nakagawa.

Yamaoka is properly trained in the second generation, including his apprenticeship as a chef.

Of course, they are complaining.

I’ve had this question for over 10 years, but why is Ôyama more of a chef than actual chefs, even though he’s not a chef?

>>50

Because I’m a genius.

>>50

Because I consider cooking to be an art as a multidisciplinary artist.

>>55

I’m not a fighter, so when you say “mixed martial arts,” it’s a bit much for me.

A kitchen knife can’t be held with just knowledge.

>>65

I’m cooking while taking into account knowledge from other arts.

>>65

Even Jobs couldn’t hold a soldering iron, but he made the iPhone.

>>65

Well, not only does he have knowledge, but he also cooks himself.

>>50

You can say the same thing about Yamaoka.

The fact that the chefs of the Gourmet Club are like this is a result of Oyama’s educational failure, isn’t it… ?

It’s an impossible scenario because it would break the original concept of the project, but I really wanted to see a cooking competition where the names of Ultimate, Supreme, Yamaoka, and Ouyama were hidden.

In the second half, both the judges and Kurita seemed to have the attitude of “if it’s something Yūzan is doing…” when evaluating.

Another Nakagawa anti-thread, huh?

The talented ones are those who can figure things out on their own without being taught, that’s the kind of feeling in the world of Oishinbo.

If you can’t do it without being guided, you’re no good.

>>57

Ryozo…

>>62

Well, not just that guy, but without the advice from Oyama and Yamaoka, there are a lot of people who would fall into a pit.

Well, I think once a person gets hooked on something, they don’t realize it.

>>57

I’m not denying effort.

If you like it, there’s a sense that it’s only natural to put in the effort.

The chef here is looking for a successor, so they are seeking Yamaoka…

>>59

Well, a mom wouldn’t let an outsider say this much, would she?

Inclusion of reprimands like in the thread image, Yamauka is indeed the one most suited to be the second generation.

>>61

Nakagawa’s response

The kitchen is a factory that produces the menu created by the chef exactly as it is.

It seems that when the top suddenly disappears, it really stops functioning.

A phenomenon similar to how the police become unreliable in detective comics.

It’s nice how one can become competent or incompetent depending on the convenience of the story.

I thought that even without the accident, Yuzan is at an age where relying too much is excessive, but this is quite a common phenomenon.

There are few scenes of standing in the kitchen, but aren’t you making new dishes when you have a drink at home?

Uemura Yōzan might not actually cook on-site, but if he wanted to, he could probably do it to a certain extent.

When it comes to the pursuit of gourmet food, I would probably leave it to the top-tier.

>>75

Now that you mention it, Shirō usually leaves it to Okaboshi when it comes to doing things seriously.

>>77

But it’s unfair that they’re just naturally good at doing it themselves.

>>75

When I returned from my injury in the thread image, there was not enough manpower, so I stood on site at the Gourmet Club.

An old chef was headhunted and abruptly left with six subordinates, turning the kitchen into hell.

>>79

Shindo was regretting, “I had a bad dream… What have I done…” as he was pulled to a crummy store.

Did they not imagine what would happen to the kitchen if they suddenly left with several chefs without notice?

Years of serving a dictator like Yuzan has conditioned me to adapt to the fact that the final decision rests with Yuzan.

It’s understandable to freeze up when you’re not used to making decisions on your own.

The image of division of labor where the gourmet Yuyama comes up with ideas and the practitioner Nakagawa brings them to fruition.

>>80

There are aspects of pottery, which is Yozan’s main profession, that are like that too.

There are people like Mr. Tōjin who do everything by themselves, but…

Is Shiro going to take over the Gourmet Club when Yozan is gone?

>>82

I think it would have ended up that way at any time.

>>86

Nakagawa and Chiyo remain on good terms.

If Yozan suddenly passes away, I might not be able to bear it and will return.

>>82

What I said about going to say goodbye in the end means that it’s okay for that kind of future to exist.

Well, I don’t know what the person will do…

In this round, it was unavoidable to be somewhat flustered since there were multiple national leaders present and Yuuzan suddenly wasn’t there.

If it were normal operations, we would have somehow managed to get through.

That said, I wanted Nakagawa to try a little harder.

Yōzan is capable of cooking even without particularly training.

If we call Mr. Yamaoka “Waka,” then shouldn’t we refer to Mr. Ouyama as “Dono”?

>>87

That’s why I call Yōzan “Sensei.”

It’s clear that Yozan has no leadership skills when you look at his own child.

>>88

It’s like saying that when I get tangled up with Yozan, I get hit with debuffs, but when it comes to other things, I can do what I’ve been taught, so I don’t like it…

The Nakagawa couple’s fondness for Hirasawa, once Yamaoka settles down, kind of feels like… is it DiCaprio?

Even Yuzan sometimes stands in the kitchen.

I believe I temporarily took over the kitchen when several skilled chefs from the club were poached and the kitchen was unable to function at all.

Okaboshi was quite a strong character, but they were nerfed.

It’s a famous episode, you know.

Honestly, it would have been fine if it had ended here.

>>97

If it ever gets adapted into an anime, it would be fine for this to be the final episode, right?

Although it was added later, it is also the result of a hasty decision regarding guidance to Yamaoka.

Yamaoka absorbs what he is taught at an incredible rate.

>>98

It seems that since I was thrown into the kitchen when I entered junior high school, I haven’t really been home much during university, so it took me a maximum of 6 years to reach that level…

Yozan also makes ice cream.

>>99

“Well, the teacher did it personally!” they were surprised.

>>99

The teacher did it personally!!!!!!!

For me!!!!!!! Keoooooo!!!!!!

>>103

It’s a cult, isn’t it…?

>>99

I wonder how many twists the soft serve will have.

After all, Oyama is a seeker of beauty, and food is just one aspect of that.

Around this time, Kurita-san starts to act like the proprietor of the gourmet club.

There is a main episode for Nakagawa, but he is told by Yuuzen that “the current dishes of the Gourmet Club are boring.”

It’s the kind of episode where I don’t know what to do and end up crying to Mr. Yamaoka.

If you want to defeat Ouyama, you can just run him over with a car.

If you want to defeat Yamaoka, you can cut the bag of green peppers as is or drop the big tuna that has fallen on the floor to cook it and serve it, and that will do the trick.

>>110

Yamaoka, you’re weaker than Ouyama because you can be brought down by food poisoning from eating raw eggs!

>>110

It’s hard to believe this delicate nature belongs to a man who wiped his face with a rag and picked his nose at a dining event.

Mr. Nakagawa is supposed to be consistently excellent even when handling unreasonable demands, but it’s awful how he deflates and becomes completely downcast at any hint of spotlight.

>>112

It seems like the mischief-making vice president and the company president and director who have changed in personality from the beginning are there for the sake of storytelling.

Isn’t this already the heir?

In the end, this parent and child were both strong-willed and had similar tastes in women, which caused them to clash.

Yamaoka can knock them down even with a foul ball.

Mr. Yamaoka, both salmonella bacteria and colds are effective, you know…

What has been quietly on my mind is the episode with Shabusky, where after saying the lunch looked delicious, I paused for a moment and then went to the store with Nakagawa.

I wonder if the food that looked delicious was eaten?

Even if you have top-notch skills in manual work, whether you can think for yourself is a different issue.

Just as a great player does not always become a great coach.

>>121

No, it’s a chef…

>>133

It’s unreasonable to expect one chef to know all the culinary knowledge of the world.

I’m not sure if it was intentional, but while Yamaoka and Yūzan have gradually softened their attitudes and broadened their perspectives, the others, including Kurita, are becoming increasingly narrow-minded, which is quite a hell.

To be honest, there are times when I think Kurita-san might be possessed by something strange.

It’s completely different from the beginning…

>>123

In reality, you must have been possessed by a hermit’s disciple or a coral spirit!

It’s fine if it’s Kurita himself.

Despite having few appearances, Kurita’s mother leaves a top-class negative impression.

Mr. Kurita, who is in perfect health, said that he preferred the sauce from Mr. Oyama, while Mr. Oyama, who is not feeling well, acknowledges Mr. Yamaoka’s sauce, which is impressive.

>>126

I don’t think it’s a health issue.

>>126

I don’t think it’s about health or anything like that.

Yozan is in critical condition → I will call my father when I meet him.

Shirou is in critical condition → urged on and leaves without seeing him.

I’m already completely the successor of the Gourmet Club with this.

The story of Mr. Kurita being scolded by Mr. Yuyama and feeling utterly downcast is just too pitiful for Mr. Yamaoka.

It’s a manga where characters time slip for the sake of the story.

I like the way Ouyama gets angry at the obstetrics and gynecology department.

I like the quiet exchange between Kinue and Kodora at the end of the Kinue arc, where Yozan speaks calmly without affirming or denying the hatred directed at him from Shirou.

It’s strange that the nearby Mt. Hōrai actually existed; you should look up Kitauji Rosanjin.

https://www.aozora.gr.jp/index_pages/person1403.html

You can read the author’s works on the internet’s Aozora Bunko too.

Somehow, after going full circle, even Ozuma reaches a point where it’s a bit pitiful…

>>141

From Yamanaka’s perspective, I didn’t know that Mr. Yamaoka was hurt during the play with his wife.

When my wife died, I was feeling down, and then suddenly my son broke all my collections and left, so I can sympathize with him.

I’ve never read Oishinbo, but even though he’s the son of Uozumi, isn’t Yamaoka himself a newspaper reporter?

No matter how much knowledge the chefs have, a reporter is still a reporter, right? Can’t they at least say something like “stay out of the kitchen, you outsider”?

>>142

Upon entering junior high school, I was thrust into the kitchen and workshop and raised with an elite education in food and art.

My mother started seriously getting sick at the same time I fell into a rebellious phase.

>>142

When it comes to gourmet food and art, he is treated as an ultra-elite who has received exceptional education from Yuuzen.

>>148

Although I am losing against the ultimate in the supreme, I am still going at it, so it might also lead to the question of how many people there are like that.

The reporter is the owner’s actual child, but…

Yamaoka’s past changes quite flexibly, so well…

When it comes to raising children, Shirou is a complete victim.

It’s not just something that only couples can understand… talk about it as part of the play that involves abuse.

>>147

Usually, even minors can understand the nuances of a couple once they reach a certain age, but he was probably clouded by his mother complex.

Yamaoka, as they say.

>>149

It’s not a line that a quack doctor should say to the bereaved family of my patients.

>>149

I think it’s really terrible for that doctor to let the son, who is the bereaved family of his deceased wife, hear this.

The chefs admire him because he is the son of Mt. Takao and a fellow apprentice who has trained in the same kitchen.

He is a man who was thoroughly trained in gourmet cuisine by Oyama from junior high to university (as a hobby).

I’m more skilled than any average cook around here.

The person has grown rebellious.

In this episode, Yamaoka is being tasked not only with cooking instructions but also with selecting vases and tableware, a job that cannot be handled by an ordinary chef.

Somehow, you’re just too talented at everything.

In Yamaoka’s case, even without his mother, he simply gets beaten up by Ohyama.

>>155

I have memories of plates being broken and being insulted during the rebellious phase, but was there ever a scene where someone directly raised their hand?

You should read it.

Delicious!

>>157

Are you telling me to read… the Gourmet Tour of All Japanese Prefectures…?

>>157

It’s difficult to deny or affirm.

>>157

If you read it to criticize, then I can understand.

If you start criticizing just based on the excerpts here without even reading, that’s the end of it.

You worthless piece, not even worth a single plate! Die and atone for your sins!

I feel like I have crossed multiple lines.

>>159

If I had actually died back there, it feels like the Gourmet Club would be crushed… maybe not in reality though.

Kurita also mentioned, “Did you notice that Yamaoka is hurt?” just to be sure…

Everyone in the club knows that Shirou trained in the kitchen in the past.

The young people, who do not know that era, must have heard about the conflict between Yuzan and Shirou from Nakagawa and others.

When Yamaoka enters the kitchen, everyone is super happy and shouting “Young! Young!”

>>165

Despite the conflict with Ōyama, I like that Yamaoka is cherished by the members of the Gourmet Club.

Just by showing my face a little, they happily share good ingredients with me…

>>165

It’s nice, they’re really friendly, and if I ask them to quietly share ingredients or dishes without telling Ōyama, they’ll be happy to cooperate.

>>177

If I find out about the Yozan diversion, I’m going to lose it.

It would be quite a hassle to buy all the volumes of “Oishinbo,” so it’s probably fine to just get the ones that are summarized by cooking theme.

The main scenario is hard to grasp, but

It’s unfortunate that when Yamaoka is wrong, everyone present becomes negative towards him.

I think there are interesting stories, so it won’t hurt to read them.

It’s much better than an anonymous person who complains and says arbitrary things without clearly having read it.

>>169

There are too many people who happily quote a single frame with the obvious intention of twisting the meaning and then smirk about it.

If it’s about whether to follow Yoyama or the amateur, it’s definitely better to go with Shirou-san…

I’ve been thinking that Dr. Nishihama from the obstetrics and gynecology department doesn’t get talked about much.

I feel like there was a story that Shirou has been trained in the gourmet club’s kitchen since he was a child.

Yamaoka’s early life is too hectic.

Indeed, there are some parts where the values and knowledge about cooking are outdated.

It’s amazing that even though it’s an old manga, it’s still just as interesting to read now—Oishinbo.

>>176

While re-reading, I was a bit taken aback by the part where someone eats raw deer meat… Is that really sane?

You can read up to volume 50 on MangaONE.

For now, it was like that at the time, but if you keep in mind that the times have changed, I think it’s quite an interesting manga.

Looking back on the memories, up until Shirou was in elementary school, it was a close-knit family.

After entering junior high school, the training began, and things started to feel somewhat awkward, but it was still normal enough for the three of us to gather around a meal together.

Even during high school, I was still seen as a parent to the point where I was encouraged to take a sip of the sweet late harvest wine I received from a customer.

Things completely fell apart around the time my mother suddenly fell ill when I entered university.

Not knowing the cuteness of the early Kuriko is really a loss.

I saw it in an anime, but did you say the kelp was bitten by a cockroach?! I couldn’t help but burst out laughing at that episode.

It should be a good story, but…
