食戟のソーマ 36 [Shokugeki no Souma 36] Quotes

“This hollandaise sauce that's been generously drizzled over the whole dish... I can taste yuzu kosho and soy sauce in it. That's a decidedly Japanese twist on a typically very European sauce! The heavy savoriness of thick sliced pork grilled to a crusty golden brown... ... balances perfectly with the briskly tart Shio Konbu seaweed and shiso leaves mixed into the rice! Then there's the centerpiece of his dish, the tempura egg! It's crispy on the outside and delectably soft and gooey on the inside! Instead of freezing it, he must have poached the egg before deep-frying it this time! The whites are unbelievably tender, and the soft-boiled yolk is so creamy you might not believed it's cooked! To batter and deep-fry a poached egg that delicate without crushing it... ... you'd need skill and a touch bordering on the superhuman! Just how much has he trained?! How hard has he practiced... ... to make this single dish?! "Sure does take you back, doesn't it? This Eggs Benedict. I switched the muffin out for some seasoned rice, a family-restaurant staple. Then there's the poached egg that I deep-fried. Pork chops for the bacon. Japanese-style hollandaise sauce.”

“Wait a minute... that dish. I've seen it before! It's the Tempura-Egg Rice Bowl he served me before! "Now, I've made two servings of this. One for you, of course, Book Master. The other one... how about you taste it, Nakiri." "Yukihira?" "Don't confuse this for the dish I served you that other time. See, that old dish wasn't enough to make you say it was good... ... so I've been secretly working on some new twists I could add to it. Eat! Erina Nakiri! Dig in. I call it my Soma-Style... ... Eggs Benedict over Rice... ... fit for a Queen.”

“Back when we were both still third-years... ... and I found the note you left saying you were suddenly going abroad... ... I was absolutely infuriated. I think I now know why that was. I always thought you'd be there with me, cooking and competing whenever we wanted... ... but instead you left without a word to anyone, not even me. To me, that was... Y'know, back when he and I first met... What was it he said to me? Something about how the trick to being a better chef... ... was finding someone who means so much you want to give them the best food you've ever made? Something like that, anyway.”

“Someone you want to cook for more than anyone else. Someone special. Someone you want to dedicate the best food you've ever made to... forever. I think that special someone... "I'm home! How ya been, Nakiri?" "Welcome home. Well? I made time in my busy schedule to be here, Yukihira. Don't you have anything else to say to me?" Oh yeah, sure. Thanks. You won't believe this recipe, though. It's amazing!" "Sheesh. It's always recipes with you." But... it's strange. Somewhere along the line... ...I've come to look forward to tasting your dishes... To look forward... ... to seeing you.”

“Princess... er, Erina." "I'm aware this is terribly belated, but please allow me to offer my sincere condolences on the death of your mother. Now then, do you have any plans for what you'll be doing from here on out?" "Huh? Plans? Me? Um, I don't really have anywhere left to go..." "Really? That's perfect. We were just searching for a chef of exceptional talent. Satisfying the Book Master's exceedingly refined palate is no small feat. We can have no shortage of highly capable chefs on hand to accomplish this task. Besides... If everyone wasn't present for our cozy family meals... ... it'd reflect poorly on the venerable Nakiri Family's good name. And you are family. Isn't that right... ... elder brother Asahi?”
