"This—this feeling is ......"

"The wild nature of the bear meat has been completely unleashed!"

"And you didn't feel any unpleasant fishy smell?"

"There seems to be a flavor that, combined with the bear meat, makes its fishy smell cut down, and the unique wild flavor without any attenuation is ......"

“genievre。 Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Dojima Silver said with his eyes closed.

“genievre？ Refers to...... Juniper cone? That's right! Speaking of which, it does have the taste of juniper fruit! Another gourmand judge said with a bright eye.

Although other ramen masters are also very open-minded, innovative and constantly improving, many of the unknown spices and ingredients are still very unfamiliar to them, far less familiar than gourmets......

Because I don't know which contestant has a big brain, it is possible to confuse these masters who specialize in one skill.

Especially now, the juniper fruit used by Ye Shan Liang is more often used for its medicinal value, and it is also a ritual vessel in some ancient religious ceremonies, and when it is used to process ingredients, most of them also use its preservative characteristics to pickle food, and it is very rare to use it directly for spices.

As a shrub fruit, juniper berries are usually contaminated with a layer of resin on the surface, which is generally considered to be part of juniper berries. When used as a spice, the taste of juniper berries is bitter, astringent, and spicy, and a small amount can be added to prevent preservatives when pickling food, and it can also be drunk with sencha after grinding, and it is not easy to use directly......

"Wait, in addition to juniper berries, which are the main force for harmonizing the flavor of bear meat, 'Kayshire spices' are also added......"

The Kayshire spice is similar to the authentic "Orleans" scent, but it is not much similar to the inexplicable Orleans flavor of K Kee.

"This large piece of bear meat does not have the slightest fishy smell, just when the mouth of bear meat is chewed, the stimulation of juniper berries and the unique wild flavor of bear meat, as well as the full taste, continue to explode and spread in the mouth, and stimulate the sense of smell and taste!"

Knock Knock Knock......

"Asa-Mr. Asai?"

I saw that at this time, Asai had already begun to pick up the bowl and drink the soup in a big gulp!

"Sure enough, this kind of 'yielding' taste is just a big gulp! Ok ok...... Nono, don't stare at me, I'll control my appetite! Asai laughed.

"That's true! Eating soup and meat with a slightly sour ramen is great! ”

"That's right, after this ramen, I should have kneaded the white wine into it...... No, it's not just white wine, it's a flavor that goes well with bear meat, it's ......."

"Bone marrow, I guess I added a little bit of the bear's bone marrow." Dojima Silver said.

"I see! The bone marrow is often the heaviest part of the game, so adding some bone marrow to the noodles can make the flavor of the noodles 'live' in the bear broth! ”

Seeing that the judges seemed to have turned into small animals and were constantly "eating", Nono glanced at the staff on the side and removed Ryo Hayama's bear meat ramen......

Although just smelling the smell made Nono a little addicted, but now the judges can't eat too much!

"Next, please ask the judges to score Ye Shanliang...... Oh, my God! Appeared! Highest score so far! Four 9s, two 7s, four 8s, a total of 82 points! More than 80 points! And it also surpassed the 78 points of the previous Kurokiba players! Nuno said hard.

Fortunately, Kurokibaba's headscarf has been confiscated, otherwise I am afraid that there will be trouble now......

The moment Ye Shanliang announced the score, he showed a slightly dissatisfied look, but he immediately changed to a "mature and serious face" and said a few words that he would make persistent efforts!

Obviously, because he has been taking care of the "Spice Research Association" (you can also write "taking care of Shiomi Jun and the Spice Research Association") with Shiomi Jun all along, Ye Shan Liang seems very mature in dealing with people.

After that, the game seemed to have entered a quiet period again, although some of the elite students of Yuanyue, as well as other dark horses in the second to tenth divisions, there were more than ten people who got a high score of more than 70 points, but Ye Shan Liang's highest score of 82 points has not wavered!

This was followed by Kohei Sojin's "gluten mixed noodles", which unexpectedly scored 78 points, similar to Ryo Kurokiba......

This caused Kurokiba to almost go berserk in "normal mode" and break through the restrictions of the bandana......

Liu Pleiades felt that Chuangzhen's mixed noodles were familiar at the beginning, and then suddenly realized that this is not the legendary "spicy noodles"?

It's just that Chuangzhen's "spicy strips" are not sold by "a certain dragon", but a self-made exclusive "spicy" recipe!

Able to get such a high score in a form other than "noodle soup......

And Chuangzhen is the only player other than Liu Pleiades who did not hesitate to "pull" out recipes other than noodle soup.

The reason why Liu Pleiades chose fried noodles is because of his confidence in his "new skills", while Kohei Chuangzhen is more about the heart of free cooking that is not bound by things other than cooking!

It can be seen that the current Chuangzhen already has the demeanor of some wandering cooking masters and Seiichiro Caiba!

There are also rice-shaped pasta in Takmina that looks like "soup and rice", and Alice's self-proclaimed "all-in-one" ramen, which is a kind of mush-like thing, but although they are all branded as noodle soups, they don't actually look like ......

However, in the end, Takmi also scored 72 points, and Alice scored 77 points, approaching the first echelon!

Mito's glamorous beef ramen is also very impressive......

The pure beef broth is covered with a thin layer of thinly sliced raw beef from the bottom of the bowl to the edge of the bowl, and the topping is also a medium-rare fried beef, which maximizes the taste and texture of the beef, and also received 77 points!

Because the order of the finals is related to the number of matches in the preliminaries, the top 200 players are all shortlisted players from the No. 2 to No. 10 divisions in the preliminaries, and the players from the No. 1 division are ranked last.

Except for a few players from the No. 1 division who were "unexpectedly" eliminated, the 92 people from the other No. 1 divisions were ranked last in the previous order......

Therefore, the scores of the players in front of them are generally "not high", which is actually expected by everyone, and this time, because of the "turmoil" of the first-year students of Yuanyue Academy, there will be so many players with more than sixty points, or even seventy or eighty points, which is very surprising to everyone!

You must know that there were even many cases in the past, and the championship score was only a little more than 80 points......

Of course, in addition to the various "grotesque" ramen, there were also five contestants' traditional ramen who received a high score of 75 points or more, and the highest one of them reached 81 points second only to Ryo Hayama!

Moreover, this contestant who scored 81 points in a relatively traditional ramen form is not a contestant from Sapporo Ramen Street, but a student of Engetsu Academy!

In addition to her, among the students of Yuanyue, either their grades are average, or even low, or they are all "strange" ramen, this clear stream of Yuanyue Academy is naturally Megumi Tazo, who was silent in the preliminaries before......

Probably many people have to forget the advantage of Megumi Tashiro in this game, Megumi Tadoko is best at local cuisine, and what she is best at is local cuisine in her hometown, Aizu......

Another city in Fukushima Prefecture that is the same as Aizu is Sapporo in Hokkaido and Hakata in Fukuoka Prefecture, and Kitakata is one of the "three ramen meccas in the island country"!

From this point of view, Xiaohui is the one who is closest to ramen in his own cooking system among all the elite students, and in the first game of the "Autumn Tryout", he also "practiced" ramen with Kurokiba, although he was eliminated by Kurokiba because he could not stably stimulate the chef's heart......

Compared with other students, Xiaohui's advantage in "ramen" is obvious, and even most of the students of Yuanyue Academy are insulated from the civilian cuisine of "ramen".

And in the finals, Megumi also combined her own advantages and came up with a Kitakata ramen with Aizu style!

The double soup stock made from tonkotsu broth and Aizu's specialty seafood is a clear improvement over the "Aizu stewed chicken soy sauce ramen" at the autumn auditions.

And although Liu Pleiades didn't taste her final product, she felt that Tian Suohui inspired the power of "kitchen heart"!

A kind of "kitchen heart" that warms the hearts of diners like the mild afternoon sunshine in autumn......

And the result of the "critical hit" was to rush to the second place for the time being, and at this time, Kurokiba, who was not wearing a headscarf, had already gone to the corner to draw a circle......

Obviously, Tian Sohui, who once lost to himself, actually surpassed himself this time, and it was estimated that during the winter vacation, he would arrange a "hell training" or something for himself.

"Now let's invite contestant No. 201 to present their ramen to the judges!"

After the previous warm-up, it is finally time for the real "seed players" to exert their power......

However, there are obviously a lot of "dark horses" this year, there are more than 20 players in front of them, who have scored more than 70 points, and a few who have scored more than 80 points, which is a score that most of the players who are shortlisted in the No. 1 division and are from the current Sapporo No. 1 Ramen Street, and they can't reach the score!

Most of the players shortlisted in the so-called No. 1 division only have 60 points, even if 70 points are more outstanding, there are still few 80 points, but the average strength is indeed much stronger than before......

You must know that they can win Ryo Hayama, Megumi Tado, Kurokiba and others, there is nothing to show off, after all, the former's ramen is the result of their own creation in the past few days, and they are just thanks to the legacy of their predecessors......

Although this is also an advantage that the chef can borrow, at least they know that if they don't use the secret recipe in the store, they may not be able to compare to these elite students of Yuanyue!

You must know that their average age is five or six years older than that of Yuanyue students, and you must also know that compared to the multi-faceted flowering of Yuanyue students, they are ramen masters who specialize in ramen!

This also made the audience who originally thought that the judges of this year gave loose scores, or thought that the later contestants would have higher scores, gave up their original guesses.

"What's going on with these guys? Is it slacking? ”

"That is, judging from the current results, is there going to be a major reshuffle of Sapporo No. 1 Ramen Street next year?"

"No, have you noticed, many of the players whose results suddenly exploded seem to be students of the Far Moon Student...... That is, the ones that look young, not the representatives of the ramen shop. ”

"So...... It seems to make sense......"

"But it's too early to praise them now, those really strong players haven't played yet!"

"But among the first-year students of Far Moon Academy, the two strongest ten masters seem to be behind, right?"

"That's right, and it's the same as the contestants of 'Hinata Ramen', it's at the back!"

In the discussion of the audience, the players in the No. 1 division in the original preliminaries also began to suffer critical blows to their confidence one after another......

Naturally, they didn't forget the bet with Liu Pleiades!

In the preliminaries, they did not use the secret ramen of their own store, and the judges did not score in the preliminaries, so although from the judges' reactions, it was seen that there was a gap between Liu Pleiades and themselves, but they were not sensitive to the perception of this gap.

Until now, although Liu Yuexing still hasn't made a move, the performance of other students in Yuanyue has put a lot of pressure on them!

Especially Ryo Hayama, with a score of 82 points, has suppressed the vast majority of players, even if they call themselves "seed players", few of them have a higher score than Ryo Hayama.

What's more, Liu Pleiades is one of the top ten masters, there is no reason to be worse than an "ordinary student", right?

In other words, I'm afraid that a score of 85 or even less than 90 is not considered safe......

And it wasn't until the final stage, when it was the turn of the shop heir of the "Sapporo Ramen Three Days King", that the score of more than 90 points finally appeared!

The first player with a score of 90 points or higher was Aso No. 287, who presented Aso's signature noodle "Shio Ramen".

One of the most common traditional ramens, there were many contestants who chose "Shio Ramen" among the 292 finalists, just as many of the ramen restaurants in Sapporo used "Shio Ramen" as their signboard!

However, even in appearance, Aso's salt-flavored ramen already shows that it is different from other people's "salt-flavored ramen".

While the soup is crystal clear, it is densely covered with a layer of golden, transparent and shiny oil, which is particularly attractive.

"Shio ramen" is usually made from pork bones, kelp, and other vegetables, boiled into a soup base, and then seasoned with "salt......

However, in this "simplicity", there is a gap between "ordinary" and "delicious"!

Of course, Aso doesn't explain his recipes specifically, it's the result of his family's ancestral secret recipe and improvements over the generations......

But he probably didn't know it himself, there was another person present who knew his formula, and that was Liu Pleiades!

Liu Pleiades at the "Ramen Taste" event a few days ago...... Wrong! He didn't want to participate in any activities at all, he just tasted the ramen noodles from No. 1 Ramen Street again!

Anyway, it was at that time that he also tasted Aso's signature ramen......

In addition, although last year, Aso's ramen master, Mr. Aso, asked Erina to taste ramen once, but even now, Erina's taste "recognition" is not as good as that of Liu Pleiades, let alone a year ago, and it is not yet time to lift the restrictions.

Although it can be accurately pushed along the lines of Aso's improvement ideas, the exact formula can only be imitated to eighty or ninety percent at most, unless Erina is willing to study it for a few months...... But she's clearly not that idle!

In addition, when Hayama Ryo passed by him, he smelled sea salt, rock salt, and snowflake salt, at least three kinds of salt, but he was sure that the amount was not good for a while......

After that, there is Fujie's miso ramen, "Fujie Ramen" is a long-established Sapporo ramen that is as old as "Sapporo No. 1 Ramen Street", and miso ramen is the representative of Sapporo's local ramen!

It is said that the ramen chef often asked for noodles to be served with pork miso soup......

Miso is much older than ramen, which became popular in Chinatown more than 100 years ago, and there is some debate about its birth, one theory is that it was derived from an ancient sauce similar to miso that was introduced to Japan during Jianzhen's eastward journey, and another theory is that it was developed during the Jomon period of the island country when salt-making technology first appeared.

However, there is a certain difference between miso in today's island country and miso in the broad sense of the word, although it is fermented with beans, miso is usually fermented with other grains, and there are different types depending on the fermented koji used and the spices added during fermentation......

The most intuitive difference, the taste of miso soup and miso soup, is completely different.

And the fact that "Fujie Ramen" has performed very well in the youth competition every year is often criticized because his miso is ready-made!

The miso used in Fujie Ramen is a three-year miso, and even if you are not very picky, it takes at least half a year to ferment the real miso, and you can't make it in just three days......

So "Fujie Ramen" has taken advantage of the competition!

The judges' attitude towards the review of these non-Far Moon Academy contestants is also very simple, because most of them are not first-time contestants, and the judges are also familiar with these contestants and the taste of their family's signature noodles......

Most of them are compliments such as "there is a great improvement compared to last year", "I have mastered the essence of seven or eight points" and so on!

Every time the judges spoke, their eyes seemed to wander, thinking of those contestants from Yuanyue Academy, although their ramen was made by themselves within a few days, so they suffered a lot in terms of effect, such as Ryo Hayama, who was the strongest so far, was also surpassed by some people......

But did they really win?

At least in the hearts of these judges, the most impressive thing is still Ryo Hayama's "bear meat ramen", and even if they are ranked in the top ten, they are all the "weird-looking" ramen of Yuanyue who impress them the most!

Although the masters of the ramen industry also boast of daring to innovate and cultivating the innovative consciousness of their successors, they are still much inferior in this regard compared to the students of Yuanyue Academy......

Especially the first dozen or so elite students, their strength has deeply shocked them, and even instinctively shielded them, the age of these students is on average five or six years younger than other contestants, and even the judges are a little reluctant to believe that these students are only one year old!
