Jester has little interest in Japanese food, but Claudia is the complete opposite.

This delicate Japanese diet is particularly sought after by young Western women like Claudia, and of course, the taste of the best Japanese food is also good.

The pursuit of the original taste of food is the most respected idea of cooking, even in Chinese cooking.

Probably two of the most famous foods in Japan are sashimi and beef.

Especially beef, the fame of Japanese Wagyu can be said to be famous all over the world, it is more high-end than Australian snowflake beef, in Jester's understanding, later the domestic breeding industry introduced Wagyu seeds and breeding technology, but also cultivated its own top beef brand, called Xuelong beef.

"If you have to eat Wagyu beef, I said to make you the crab stuffed orange I just learned in the United States, you don't want to ......"

Jester complained a few words helplessly, and after sleeping in the hotel for a whole day, Claudia, who was finally relieved from the fatigue of flying, insisted that Jester take her to eat authentic Japanese food, because Jester had read a lot of information about this when he first made the chef game Zuò, and he often boasted that he didn't know anything about the world's food.

However, Jester is usually the most dismissive of Japanese cooking, but he can't ignore his fiancée's words, so he has to find Tamahide Yoshiro.

Jester knew that this was a standard foodie.

Tamahide Yoshiro is very knowledgeable about food, especially Japanese food, and when he heard Claudia say that she wanted to eat authentic Japanese Wagyu beef, he showed a very relaxed smile: "I am very familiar with Mr. Matsumoto in Kobe, his family's cattle farm is the most famous in Kobe, and Kobe's TV station does a special program on Kobe beef, which is filmed in his cattle farm!" ”

Hearing Tamahideyoshiro say this, Claudia, who has always been extremely interested in Kobe beef, suddenly had her eyes lit up.

"I also ate it a lot when I was in the UK and I thought it was great! But listen to my Japanese friend. In fact, these are all frozen and flown in, and the taste is no longer good, far less delicious than what you eat in Kobe...... And, is the TV show you're talking about drinking beer and listening to music for cows? ”

"Yes."

Tamahideyoshiro smiled and nodded, but he was a little surprised in his heart, when he used to go to Los Angeles to attend the annual conference, he had met Claudia a few times, relying on the impressions he had seen. I think this is a very strong woman, but I didn't expect that after temporarily putting down work, I would have this kind of little woman's mentality.

Tamahide Yoshiro said that Matsumoto's barbecue restaurant is in a very remote place, and the environment is very quiet.

When Jester and Claudia came to this small barbecue restaurant with no name under the leadership of Tamahide Yoshiro, they were a little surprised, because the seats in this small shop were very small and there were no scattered tables. The stools for the seats are all in front of the bar.

And the entire bar in front of it is a whole grill tray for barbecue.

There weren't many people in the store, just a middle-aged man in his forties. The boss was an old man in his fifties, and when he heard the voice, he looked up at the door, and when he saw Tamahide Yoshiro. A smile appeared on his face.

"Yuxiujun is here!"

And Tamahide Yoshiro also smiled and nodded: "Matsumoto-kun, these are my two friends, I said the best Kobe beef in all Japan." Here you are. ”

"Where, where!"

Hearing such praise from Tamahide Yoshiro, the store manager named Matsumoto obviously showed a bright smile on his face, and he said modest words in his mouth, but his comfortable demeanor obviously took Tamahide Yoshiro's words for granted.

After Jester and Claudia were seated, Matsumoto just smiled and nodded, then added a little charcoal to the bottom of the baking sheet.

"It's made of Aoka-wood."

Jester glanced at the long strips that Matsumoto had taken out from one side, black, some shiny, and even had layers of fish scales on the outside, and asked with some confusion.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Jester's words, Matsumoto glanced at Jester with some surprise, he seemed to be very strange, how could the other party know this, and then he moved his gaze to Tamahide Yoshiro, but Tamahide Yoshiro himself shook his head, obviously, he was saying that he didn't tell Jester this.

"My grandfather was a master of Chinese cooking, and he also dabbled in culinary things."

Jester also saw this scene, he did not hide it, and explained truthfully, traditional Sichuan cuisine is also very particular about the use of carbon, and it can even be said to be complicated, for cooking different dishes, when cooking different cooking methods, according to the strength of the fire, different charcoal should be used, these are all knowledge.

Hearing Jester's explanation, Matsumoto also nodded abruptly.

"Chinese cooking, broad and profound, I traveled to China last year, and I saw a lot of incredible delicacies, and now I think of it, and it is unforgettable."

At this time, the middle-aged man who had been before the three of Jester came in smiled and said to Matsumoto, "Matsumoto-kun, can you give me a piece of raw beef?" It's been a long time since I've eaten it raw! I miss that smell! ”

As he spoke, he also showed a salivating look, and even stuck out his tongue as if he was tasting a delicious taste, and licked his tongue.

Matsumoto still smiled, directly took a whole piece of red, tender, and snowflake-like pattern of beef, then picked up a knife, cut a small square piece of meat, put it in a white porcelain plate, and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The cow knife is not a knife used to kill cattle, but a kind of kitchen knife, which is a Japanese kitchen knife invented by the Japanese in imitation of the European chef knife, and the difference between the appearance and the Western chef knife is not very big, and the only difference may be that the handle of the beef knife is not the plastic or metal handle commonly used in the Western chef knife.

Instead, the octagonal wood or cow bones are used, and the zuò is very exquisite.

In addition to this knife, Jester also saw a much smaller kitchen knife on Matsumoto's desk, and of course he knew something about Japanese cuisine, this knife was called Santoku knife, which was a product that combined the advantages of Chinese kitchen knives and Western kitchen knives.

However, because of the combination of the two types of kitchen knives, it has become a bit nondescript, and under normal circumstances, this kind of knife can only be used as an auxiliary prop, and cannot be used as a chef's knife.

In fact, the classification of Japanese kitchen knives is the most cumbersome in all kinds of cooking, more cumbersome than Western kitchen knives, for example, they have almost reached a kind of ingredient, it needs to use a special knife work, even, just cut fish fillets, they are divided into two kinds according to the different fish fillets to be cut, one is called willow blade, one is called the two kinds of knives with very different appearances.

The middle-aged man respectfully took the porcelain plate handed by Matsumoto with both hands, and then said thank you in his mouth.

Jester took a closer look at the porcelain plate, he was a little far away just now, he thought it was a porcelain plate, but when he got closer, he took a closer look, and then he found that it was not porcelain, but a round plate made of pottery.

Jester had heard that the level of pottery making in Japan was very high, but now that I have seen it, it is indeed worthy of its reputation.

Claudia also looked at the raw cut beef, Jester pouted with some disdain, he actually doesn't like to eat raw, although there is no shortage of meat in Chinese cooking, for example, Confucius said that you don't get tired of eating, and you don't get tired of eating, and even in the Tang Dynasty, the great poet, known as the poetry of the Buddha, Wang Majie also wrote a poem about the lover Yule riding a horse, and the maid Jinpan carp this kind of poem describing eating fish.

However, disliking is disliking.

He can't even accept the most delicate raw fish, not to mention the coarsest beef among all kinds of meat, and even Jester can't even accept medium-rare beef, let alone pure raw.

But Claudia perfectly inherited the advantages of the Anglo-Saxons in terms of gastronomy, and liked to drink blood...... Oh no, it's like to eat half-cooked beef.

"Can you get me one too?"

Claudia really licked her tongue, and asked Matsumoto, who was carefully cutting the beef, and when she heard Claudia's voice, Matsumoto raised her head, glanced at Claudia in some surprise, and then didn't say anything, just cut a small piece of beef from the piece of beef he was cutting, like the small piece cut for the middle-aged man just now, and also cut a small piece for Claudia.

Then he looked at Jester and asked, "Do you want it too?" ”

Jester just wanted to refuse, but when he thought about it, after all, he was also brought by the other party's friend Yuxiu Yoshiro, and the other party asked him, obviously with good intentions, and he was not easy to refuse, so he had to nod: "Give me a piece too." ”

Although he said this, Jester had already made up his mind that even if this piece of raw beef was unpalatable, he would eat it, and he couldn't live up to the kindness of the store and make Tamahide Yoshiro who brought him lose face in front of his friends.

But with this small square of raw beef, which has a pattern similar to a white snowflake, he feels a tenderness that is difficult to describe in words, and it does not have all the fishy smell of raw meat, but has an indescribable meaty aroma, which gives him a feeling very similar to tuna, that is, the fattest belly of tuna.

"It's delicious!"

After eating this piece of raw beef, Jester couldn't help but stretch out a thumbs up and praise it from the bottom of his mouth. (To be continued......)
