"The tuna meat is paired with kombu shreds, and the two delicious dishes blend together in your mouth. In particular, this rich fish fat brings a strong impact to people. Sushi rice is wrapped in fish fat, which makes it smooth and refreshing, and this dish is perfect, especially the rice here, which has a unique sour flavor and gives people a mellow and smooth texture. Charum's brows furrowed, and his eyes began to blur, "This smell—it should be red vinegar, right?"

"That's right, this seasoning is indeed red vinegar. It is made by fermenting wheat, rice, and other ingredients. Compared with ordinary vinegar, it contains less sugar and has a mellow and refreshing taste. In addition, the sushi rice made with red vinegar has a soft texture. This is also a method that has been carefully researched below. Saito, with his eyes closed, said softly.

"Different types of sushi use different parts of tuna meat. This beautiful taste is vividly reflected in Tokan sushi. The 'Scream Grilled Sushi', which is made with straw and grass, is even more delicious. After the delicious fat is grilled, the rich fish fat exudes a charming aroma, and the fishy smell that should be carried by itself is also lost due to the roasting of straw, leaving only a pure fragrance. ”

After tasting the sushi, Eastvaro was in high spirits, and his brows revealed a look of joy.

"No...... Wouldn't it......" Yoshino Yuhime bit her lip and looked nervously at the judges' seat, the evaluation between the two judges made her feel suffocated.

Isusei shook her head, "This is also something that can't be helped. Saito's perception of sushi is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”

“…… In addition, tuna is also a very suitable ingredient for Saito Akira. It is this strong determination to pursue good food that makes him such a brilliant cook. Erina also sighed, looking helpless.

"That's not to say that Sojin-kun won't have a chance......" Mito Yumei looked nervously at the judges' seat.

"Then it depends on what kind of dishes Kohei can make. Yishihui's expression was serious.

For Kohei Soma, who rarely comes into contact with high-end ingredients, what kind of tuna sashimi he can make will directly determine the outcome of the match.

Anne, the only judge who tasted Kohei's dishes, was enjoying the delicious sashimi.

As the name suggests, the focus of the whole dish is "cold".

Whether it's ice cubes spread on the bottom of a plate, tuna fillets or side dishes washed in ice water, all ingredients are associated with "ice-cold".

Warmth has the benefit of warmth, for example, Saito uses a warm sauce because the alcohol inside the miso can quickly evaporate after it is heated. The benefit of cold lies in the taste.

The rich tuna meat is soaked in cold water to make the meat fresh and tender, especially when the fish is cold, the meat is tight, and it makes diners feel a kind of heartfelt comfort. Moreover, after soaking in ice water, it can also remove the fishy smell of meat to a certain extent.

Anne dipped the tender tuna meat in wasabi, soaked it in the sauce and put it in her mouth.

The smell of wasabi rushed straight to her brain, and Anne's face instantly turned red, and sweat even broke out on her forehead. When the choking smell dissipates, the delicate fragrance of the wasabi and the salty and sour flavor of the sauce give the tuna a beautiful taste.

"This sauce is unexpectedly delicious. Anne looked at the dark sauce and was surprised, "I feel like it has the taste of a prune." ”

Kohei Soma nodded, "That's right, this sauce does use umeboshi. ”

"However, in addition to the slight sour and salty taste of this sauce, there is also a strong aroma...... What's going on?" Anne looked at Kohei curiously.

"This sauce is boiled with fried rice. After stir-frying the rice until fragrant, it is mixed with seasonings such as thick soy sauce, salted umeboshi, mirin, and sake, and after boiling, the flavor of the plum meat soy sauce can be brought out. Kohei Soma touched his nose and explained with a smug expression, "That's how I handle plum meat in my small restaurant at home. The flavor is richer than using only plum meat. ”

Anne bowed slightly, "I see—"

Eastwarlu and Charum heard Anne's conversation with Kohei, and also focused on the cold-soaked tuna fillet in front of them, their eyes bright, and they couldn't wait to try it. Upon the entrance, the two judges let out screams of pain. After the screams subsided, the two of them closed their eyes and cheeks reddened slightly, showing a look of great enjoyment.

"It's great, I didn't expect Chuangzhenjun to have this hand. The new scarlet sand finally had a smile on his face.

"Chuangzhenjun is a master of messing around, and he often makes some unexpected dishes. Yoshino Yuhime said excitedly.

"If Kohei-kun wins this game, we will have a 4-2 lead. Tomorrow morning, Senior Zheng will win the middle school principal of Hata Middle School, and the rest of us will slowly consume with Senior Division, I don't believe it, I can't win him. Zenji Marui pushed the middle frame of his glasses, looking excited.

Isshiki narrowed her eyes and looked helplessly at the excited Polestar Crowd.

The game isn't over yet?

"Okay, now, let's ask the three judges to judge the two dishes in this group. ”

Rei Kawashima's voice echoed in the venue, and at the same time, everyone's hearts tightened, and their eyes were focused on the judges' seats.

The students in the cage also fell silent. No matter how much faith they had in Kohei Soma before, at this moment, these beliefs disappeared without a trace.

Erina Nagikiri clasped her arms tightly on her chest with both hands, to relieve the tension in her heart.

What was the result of this game?

The three judges whispered for two or three minutes, during which their eyes kept scanning the two dishes on the judges' table.

The waiting time is always long, and Kohei also frowned slightly. Every time the judge looked at the two plates, he felt a little more uneasy.

It wasn't until the three judges sat up straight that the condensed air seemed to come to life.

"In the third group of round 4, the winner is-" Anne took a deep breath and said the name of the person who advanced, "-Akira Saito!"

"Oops...... Lost!" Shoji Sato grabbed his hair and sat on his knees.

The faces of the others also became depressed.

There is a chance...... It turned out to be ......

Kohei and Saito bowed to each other and returned to their rest area with regretful expressions.

"I'm sorry, I ...... I'm not ...... done," Kohei shrugged his shoulders.

"It's already pretty good. Isshiki gave Kohei a thumbs up, "It's great to be able to do this, it's almost a little bit." ”

"But the pressure is on you again—"

"Don't say that, we have three of us now, so we still have a chance. Hopefully tomorrow we can finish the game and we can have the last laugh. ”

Despite saying this, there was still a trace of regret on Isshihui's face.
