Famous Yuto Tsukuda Quotes

“What a wonderful crunch! And yet the char's meat was still hot and deliciously juicy! The breading perfectly contained inside its protective shell the savory flavor of the fish! The Kaki no Tane Crackers came already seasoned... ... so the breading itself had a solid, delicious taste. And the dipping sauce is perfect! The Ki no Me mixed with Tamago no Moto is wonderfully light and fluffy!" *Ki no Me: The young leaves of the Japanese pepper plant. Clapping one in your palm crushes the leaf's cells, releasing a distinctive scent.* TAMAGO NO MOTO. Mayonnaise without the vinegar, it is simply egg yolks and vegetable oil whisked into a creamy consistency. It's often used to bring ingredients together or to add flavor to a dish. Some salt and minced Ki no Me adds an overall refreshing taste to the fish... ... erasing any oiliness and giving it a refined flavor. "That wonderfully smooth creaminess hiding between the crispy crunchiness of the breading really spurs the appetite! The breaded and deep-fried mountain vegetables on the side cannot be ignored, either. They provide an eye-pleasing contrast when arranged side-by-side with the deep-fried fish. " "Soma, where on earth did you get the idea for this?" "In Japanese cooking, there's a type of tempura called Okakiage, right? When deep-frying things, use crushed-up Okaki Rice Crackers instead of panko to give the dish some uniqueness and kick. I made this at home once long ago with my dad. " "And that gave you the idea to use the Kaki no Tane Crackers in place of the Okaki Rice Crackers?" "Yep! I call it the Yukihira Style Okaki- YUKIHIRA STYLE OKAKI-NO-TANE-AGE CHAR!" "You just slapped the two names together!" On one hand, Takumi Aldini maintained a broad version that did not overlook potential ingredients, such as the duck. On the other, Soma Yukihira's rare ability to think outside the box... ... led him to create a dish that no one else even expected! Neither was intimidated by the time constraints or the limited ingredients. They instead focused on what they could do to create their dish. That is the spirit of a true professional! Hee hee! This is hardly the first time I've given this assignment. And students have made deep-fried items before... without breading. But he is the first one to find a way to present to me fish that is both breaded and deep-fried! The char, in season this spring... ... is snuggly wrapped in a protective shell of Kaki no Tane Cracker breading.”

“Amazing! All of the ingredients, prepared just how I want them... "Is this rough mix good enough?" "Yeah!" ... are showing up at my fingertips exactly where I need them. I only have one person helping me... ... but... ... it feels like I'm working three or four times faster than when I'm cooking alone! "What on earth is that?" "Let's see... Soma Yukihira. My! He transferred in as a freshman? How unusual." "He's anticipating her every move... melding her work with his support into one cohesive whole." "He does nothing unnecessary... constantly keeping one eye on Megumi Tadokoro, so he never impedes her work.”

“Man, that Divine Tongue thing really is a pain in the butt." "Huh?" "Seriously, when the tiniest things are wrong with your dish... ... she'll let that thing wag until you wanna rip it out by the root. But when it comes to saying what she really wants to say... ... to the person who really needs to hear it? It doesn't budge an inch.”

“I've always been so nervous during class that I'd mess up... ... and when I messed up, I'd get lost and start panicking. But today when I backed Soma up I was able to do everything right. So it feels like... maybe I've gained a little confidence in myself. Just a little. And that's exciting to me. B-but, um! A-all the credit goes to Soma, now. I ain't that good. If he hadn't been tellin' me what ta do, I'da been lost!" "Don't sell yourself short. I never would've gotten that dish together if you hadn't found all those ingredients in the mountains. You did a great job with cooking them up too." "He's right. You can do whatever you put your mind to. Have some confidence in yourself... Okay?" I want to stay with everyone longer. I want to get better at cooking. I won't give up. I'm going to keep trying my hardest!”

“Oh! But here! I brought some Chinese recipes I found that I thought might be useful." "Huh? Wait a sec, Tadokoro. Aren't you going to help out at the booth the Polaris crew is putting together? Isshiki Senpai must have invited you." "Hmm? Yeah, he did. The Home-Cooking Society is going to have a booth too. But I turned both of them down." "Huh? Why?" "Well, because I thought you could use the help, of course... ... AH! Oh! Um! I-I-I know that I'll probably just get in the way! I mean, i-it's me, right? I'm so sorry I just assumed that I could be helpful to you! B-but, um! I-I did use to help with the customers at my family's little inn... and during the Stagiare Challenge, I did have the chance to learn a little bit about customer service, so I kinda think I might not be totally useless, and... and, um! S-so, um, y-you see... if you happen to need a little help with your booth, I, um... I'd be happy to..." "Tadokoro. You... ... are the best." "R-really?" "Okay! Let's do this! Let's cook something up, Tadokoro!" "Okay!”

“Wow, look at him go! I've never seen anyone fillet a whole salmon that quickly!" "You looked pretty impressive when you butchered that monkfish, y'know." "W-what?! B-but I could never do it that fast. And Kurokiba isn't just fast... there's no hesitation or waste in any of his movements. He's gotten even better since I faced him in the Fall Classic!”

“Oh, and y'know what makes it even better? All the pretty ladies. Japanese ladies always look so young and elegant. They're so exotic! You, too, miss. You're the picture of Yamato Nadeshiko. You have a real pretty charm to you." *Yamato Nadeshiko means the personification of an idealized Japanese woman.* "Who, me?! Um! N-no, I'm not all that pretty..." "C'mon, Tadokoro! Quit being so humble.”

“Gawd, I hope Yukihira is okay. This makes, what, three days in a row he's slept in that kitchen now? Yo, Yukihira. We're coming in. How about you think about taking a break and-" Fell asleep face-first in the sink when he tried to wash up. "Yukihira!" "Oh my gosh, take him to the infirmary! Call an ambulance!" "Mmph? Nikumi? Tadokoro?" "Thank goodness you're awake!" "Idiot! All of this is meaningless if you push yourself to exhaustion before the match even begins!" "Nikumi?" "I'll wash these dishes up for you, so go take a nap or something, got it? Sleep deprivation is the root of a lot of injuries, y'know." "Let me help too!" "Sure, thanks." "Thanks, girls. I really appreciate it.”

“How were you able to complete this dish?" "Easy! I used honey. I rubbed it on the meat before we cooked it... ... and I added it into the seasonings afterward too." I see! Honey is rich in proteinase, an enzyme that breaks down proteins. By using it as a rub on the tough cut of beef... ... he was able to tenderize it in a short period of time! "But how did you know honey would do that?" "When I was little, I read in a cookbook that pineapple juice could tenderize meats. But we don't often get the chance to buy whole pineapples. So I experimented with stuff to see if anything else could do the same thing. Of all of them, honey keeps the best and it's by far the easiest to use!”

“You've always done so much to help me... ... and now I get you mixed up in this. I... I don't even know where to start apologizin'..." "I did this because I wanted to. No need to say sorry. If you wanna know why, well... ... isn't it obvious?" "Huh?" "You aren't someone... ... who deserves to get kicked out over something like that." "Soma...”

“So... um.. that's what I think I want to make." "That's a great idea!" "R-really? You think so? Yay! But, um... the recipe requires a whole lot of prep work on a bunch of the ingredients. I-I don't know if it'll all work out in the end..." "Hey! Who do you think you're talking to? I was the number two chef at Yukihira's Family Restaurant, y'know! Though the only other chef there was my dad." "Hee hee... Aha ha ha!" "All right! I'm gonna pour all of my experience into supporting you! Get ready, Tadokoro! For today only... ... "Tadokoro's" Family Restaurant... ... is open for business!" "Y... yay?!”

“Anyways! I hear you used some of your hometown ingredients in your curry! Not bad! Not bad at all!" "Y-yeah, but somehow it still doesn't feel real. I can't believe I'm in the finals! Just six months ago, I was this close to getting expelled on grades." "Oh yeah! Back during the first day of class, right? That was the first time we were paired up together." "This is all thanks to you, y'know. I only managed to come this far... ... because you were there for me." "Nah. You've had the talent for it all along. You make good food. It kinda warms the heart, y'know? I like it." "Eheh heh heh heh... th-thanks, Soma. I'm flattered!”

“Anyways, you said some really good stuff earlier, Tadokoro. That whole "think of the people you love when you cook" thing was great!" "Aha ha ha... though it's kinda embarrassing, looking back on it. It's something I learned helping at my family's inn. If you're really going to put your heart into your cooking... ... then you should think about one person you care about a lot when you do it. Wait a minute. Back during the prelims... I was thinking of-" "Tadokoro? Something wrong? C'mon. You'll get left behind." "Oh, s-sorry! It's nothing. ...?”
