“Tadokoro, what's your favorite kind of bowl?" "Um, I-I don't know if it's a bowl, per se, and I know it's not made with meat... ... but at home we'd grill scallops on a hibachi grill. When the shell popped open, we'd put a little butter and soy sauce inside... and then we'd put it all over fresh, hot white rice. It was really yummy!”

“Mmm! This is so yummy! It's salt and spring onion flavored, right?" "Yep! I boiled some chicken tenderloins and dressed them with salt and spring onion sauce. I spread the sauce on the outside of the rice balls too!" "Yum! The salty flavor really whets the appetite!" "The body especially craves salt after exercise too." "Aah, is this kombu? Seaweed is a rice ball staple! Tsukudani kombu and... cheese?!" *Tsukudani means foods simmered in soy sauce and mirin.* "Right! The heavy sweetness of tsukudani foods goes really well with cheese." "Okay, let's see what the last one is! Yum! The garlic flavor is awesome!" "Those are my honey-garlic pork rice balls. I boiled some pork belly until it was soft... and then I let it marinate with some garlic for a day in a mixture of miso, cooking saké, and honey. It's super awesome with rice, so I thought I'd try making rice balls with it. I brought barley tea and green tea. Take your pick!" AAAAH "This is the brilliance of Megumi's cooking. It calms and comforts the heart of whoever enjoys it." "The chicken tenderloin isn't too dry, and the pork is perfectly tender. All of these are carefully and deftly made.”

“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!”

“In true high-class restaurants, a meat sauce is to ground meat what a demi-glace is to beef stew. Their meat sauce forms a solid foundation for the dish's overall flavor. Not only does Aldini's soffritto give the ground beef an even fuller and richer sweetness... it also works exceptionally well as a building block in the espagnole sauce. Was that Tadokoro's addition? An extraordinary choice. To top it off, there is the anchoiade sauce, which is based on salty anchovies and sweet basil! By sprinkling it in dots across the top... it not only adds intriguing accents of flavor to please the tongue, it also creates a fascinating visual presentation that pleases the eyes.”

“By adding vegetables like carrots, potatoes and zucchini, you were able to create seven separate pâtes of different colors. And each pâte has been cooked in a way to maximize the deliciousness of each vegetable. I'm impressed you were able to complete all that work in so little time." "You made two separate sauces too. A sweet and tangy sudachi gelée... ... and a refreshing green herb sauce centered on shiso... and mixed with other fragrant herbs to make a pesto." "Wow! Seasoning a European terrine with distinctly Japanese flavors like sudachi and shiso... what a fresh idea!" "Mmmm! The sautéed zucchini together with the herb sauce is so invigoratingly zesty and tasty! Exquisite!" "The tangy sudachi sauce goes well with the mildly sweet tomatoes too." "Seven different pâtes with two different sauces means there are fourteen flavors to enjoy. I'm already excited to try various combinations!" "Me too. It seems the colorful rainbow stripes aren't only pleasing to the eye... they also manage to be equally pleasing to the palate!”

“The spice you used in the pâte... that was allspice, right?" ALLSPICE The allspice plant is a tropical, mid-canopy tree. The leaves are dried fruits are often used as a cooking spice. It was given the name "allspice" because it combines the flavor of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. "It's a convenient spice for nullifying the smelliness of some ingredients. You used it to get rid of the smell from the chicken liver, right?" "O-oh! Um... Yes, but..." ? "I mean, for the last two days... all of you have tasted a whole lot of dishes for judging, right? And, um... allspice can be used not just to eliminate smells but also to aid digestion. I-I thought maybe...um... i-it would be nice if I could make a dish that's easier on the tummy..." WAAAAAAAAHHHH! "I knew it! I knew my darling Megumi was the best!" "Yes. Our eyes do not deceive us. We were right!”
