The dishes came up one by one, first seven plates of small cold dishes, and Linzi introduced them one by one: "These are the appetizing side dishes that are paid first, with light seasoning and fresh texture." The second course, called Eight Inches, is a seasonally themed dish that usually consists of a combination of sushi and a few smaller side dishes.

"The third dish is to pay the sashimi, which is generally seasonal. This is followed by cooking, where vegetables, meat, fish, tofu and other ingredients are cut into small pieces and boiled. The fifth course is the lid, which as the name suggests, is a food served in a covered tabler, usually in soup, or steamed in a tea bowl. ”

Then there are the grilled seasonal fish, the sorrel, which is pickled in vinegar, and the cold bowl, which is served in chilled containers, such as noodles, salad, shrimp and crab meat, and so on. ”

"So much? Sounds so hearty, you'll be able to eat enough!"

Kazuko looked at Xiao Li's excited expression, pursed her lips, and said: "You are too naïve, the biggest feature of kaiseki cuisine is that you listen to it more and eat less! This is how you can feel refreshed. It is said that in the most authentic kaiseki, different flowers and plants are planted in the four seasons, with different decorations and lights, and homegrown flowers and plants are added to the dishes. ”

Sure enough, the amount of each dish below is not large, there is basically seafood, with some rare ingredients, indicating the origin of the ingredients, such as the green seaweed of Lake Akan in Hokkaido, to maximize the use of the color, aroma and taste of the ingredients, advocate respect for the original taste of the materials, can be eaten raw, if not, cook or bake it a little, even if it is leftovers, it will never be wasted, advocating simplicity and surplus.

"This is also a dish?"

Director Wang looked at the dish in front of him and was very surprised, that is, there were three earthy yellow things next to a small wooden board, it seemed that the guests were allowed to pick up and grind them by themselves?

"This is wasabi, it grows on the banks of valley rivers, the colder and clearer the water, the better it is for growth, and it is a green food that does not cause any environmental pollution. One of the production areas of wasabi is a place in Kyoto called "Josho no Taki", and after viewing the waterfall, people usually buy some wasabi roots. ”

Linzi said with a smile: "The mustard we usually eat with yusheng is actually a general term for three substances: wasabi, horseradish and mustard powder, probably because they are all spicy, so the three are confused." After all, it always gives people a tear-jerking feeling, but it is this tear-jerking substance that deeply attracts countless diners, who love its choking and love the stimulation it brings to the taste buds. ”

She picked up the grinding board, grinded the wasabi into a mustard puree, and handed Mochi a little, and tasted it more delicious than the mustard powder. Because green mustard has a bactericidal effect, when eating raw fish, dip it in a little bit, which can be described as killing and seasoning, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Everyone chatted while eating, the amount seemed to be a lot, but a few bites per person was almost at the bottom of the plate, Xiao Li cried and mourned, and the more he ate, the more hungry he became.

"It's a sour soup with a medium pig's mouth, and then there's the main course, usually grilled or boiled beef, poultry, fish, and so on. ”

"Rice and vegetables are served at the end, which is actually the main content of the kaiseki cuisine of the monks in the beginning, which is very simple, but it has developed to this day and has become the finishing touch of the meal. The kaiseki here is light in taste and does not seek to be flashy, but it is extremely particular about the delicacy of each stage of the process, such as cooking and setting, the freshness of the ingredients, the sense of seasonality, and the utensils that serve the food. ”

"When a chef cooks a kaiseki meal, he should be sincere, concentrated, and carefully dialogue with each ingredient, sigh, and express his good heart, and appreciate the true meaning of the meal with the same heart as a French meal. ”

Spring dishes, for example, include sashimi, miso soup, and rice, and are served with boiled vegetables and grilled dishes. Chakaiseki cuisine is three dishes and one soup. Nowadays, there is usually an extra side dish called "storage bowl". When you run out of soup and rice, you can drink a glass of sake. Then enter the "storage bowl" and clear your mouth with "chopsticks" before making a glass of sake. The "eight inches" of side dishes are also indispensable, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas such as "strong dishes" and "wine thieves" can also promote the style of persuading wine.

Then the "soup bucket" and incense are served with soaking rice to end the meal. After that, we will enter the theme "Tea Ceremony". The host took out the treasured tea set to make tea, and the guests entered the topic while praising the tea set. Tea kaiseki cuisine is served with the tea ceremony. Because drinking strong tea on an empty stomach can make people feel uncomfortable, it is necessary to fill the stomach moderately in order to achieve a pleasant cup of tea. ”

Sure enough, the last dish came up, and it was actually ice cream, it was in such a beautiful glass, Moqi tasted it, and found that it was not ordinary ice cream, it was actually celery ice cream.

The celery flavor is very strong, and when eating, pour champagne in a glass. Dessert with dessert wine, crushed ice makes a sizzling sound in the sparkling wine, and the taste buds seem to become dynamic and jumpy, and the sip is refreshing and pleasant.

Linzi tasted it and smiled: "This is a new change in kaiseki cuisine, in the cooking to jump out of the traditional Japanese seasoning, add European cuisine style, such as European spice hyssop, can be used in the seasoning of sea urchin puree, as well as beef, dried scallops sauce, Italian white wine can be added to plum sauce, or added to loquat to make a delicious side dish, and even directly seasoned with Italian red wine vinegar, presenting the new trend of creative kaiseki combining Europe and Japan." ”

After eating this expensive kaiseki meal, Mo Qi sighed that the island people are really a people who pretend to be forced to the bones!

Pursue the so-called perfection in everything, pay attention to artistic conception, and the more you pretend to force the more people like it, and even spend a lifetime studying it, you are also drunk!

Just when Moqi and his party were enjoying the food, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was in a gloomy fog, and Shiratori looked at the head of the headquarters with a blue face, and sighed secretly, I don't know what to say?

"You ...... Hey!"

The head of the department looked at dozens of people with their heads bowed, and their expressions were haggard, as if they had died of their father. The anger that I wanted to explode gradually disappeared, and in the end, a thousand words only turned into a long sigh.

"Everyone has worked hard this time, all of them have a holiday this afternoon, go back to rest, and cheer up tomorrow to continue to check for me!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, everyone hurriedly saluted, Shiratori breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at his subordinates who had been rotating for several days and nights, and said distressedly: "Do you hear everything? Go back and have a good rest, don't think about anything today, and give me the spirit to go to work tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Dozens of people left one after another, Shiratori shook his head, returned to the office, loosened his tie, leaned back on the sofa, looked straight at the ceiling, his eyes gradually blurred, and finally he couldn't hold back the deep sleep.
