64 64 "Suppon Battle - Sashimi Cooking Battle!" (2/2)

Olive oil goes well with seafood and has the power to intensify the flavor.

Honestly, comparing the two sashimi, it was purely a pure feeling that the spin-cooked hydra sashimi was slightly superior in terms of taste.

Now, the winner is announced.

While we were fretting, the gourmet master and the other judges had already finished their discussion and were counting down the winners.

We'll announce the results with an emphasis on which one of the dishes brought out the best of the designated dish, sashimi.

Ahhhhh!　Stop it already!　That's two losses for sure!

The winner is Amanes, the Warrior.

d*mn!　If there are only three wins left, the rest of us have to win

”Huh?

Not only us, but even our opponents' spins were astonished before the judges' announcement.

'Nonsense!　My food must have perfectly imitated your food!　It should be a head turner in seasoning as well!　So why?!

If you think so, you should compare your sashimi with the sashimi your brave men of war have caught. If you think so, compare your sashimi with that of your war hero.

The gourmet master prompts me to put the two sashimi in my mouth, and I follow suit, savoring the two sashimi again.

I follow suit and taste the two sashimi again.

Spin's sashimi is seasoned as it is and Amanes' is dipped slightly in the sake he has prepared and slipped into his mouth. Then.

......!　This is it!

”Slightly more crunchy and fresh than Amanes' sashimi.

How many times it tastes in the mouth it becomes clearer and clearer.

Meat that should be the same. For some reason, Amanes' sashimi was slightly crispier and tasted better than the others, despite the supposedly identical knife work.

Why ...... I should have copied your cooking method perfectly. Besides, even your last seasoning was better than ......, so why?

It's simple.

In response to Spin's shout-like question, Amanes shows off the knife in his hand.

”We can imitate technology, but not the weapons, right?

Spin realized at Amarnes' statement, ”Ha!

That's right, it was the one and only item in the world that Amanes had created from the crystal golem using his creation skills. A knife that truly rivals a legendary weapon.

The better the weapon you use, the better you deal with your prey. It is common knowledge to those who use weapons on the battlefield.

I never thought that the crystal cleaver that I had been wielding around here would break the last stuffing!

But still not convinced by the biting spin.

'Even if it did, it wouldn't make much of a difference!　In fact I seasoned sashimi finished with seasoning and added flavor to ......

”That's a mistake, my dear Holy Lion.

My father interrupted Spin to continue, ”Sashimi is all about freshness, knife work, and one more thing.

Sashimi is all about freshness, knife work, but there is one more important factor. It's about how to provide 'the taste of the ingredients'.

At those words, Spin again realized something.

”Isn't that ...... just a drink?

”Oh, but it's called a roasted wine.

Senchu. I've never heard of it, but my father explained it to me in detail.

It's a special kind of sake that was used before soy sauce was established in my world. It is made of simple ingredients such as sake and umeboshi (dried plum), broth and dried bonito flakes. But it's actually quite good. Soy sauce certainly tastes great on its own and goes with everything. But that's why it's too assertive.

With that said, I'm beginning to understand what the deciding factor in this dish was for Amanes.

But with this roasted sake, there is no such thing. The taste is mild and refreshing; it is thin, to say the least. That is why it does not kill the 'taste of the ingredients' itself.

Then my father compares the sashimi of Amanes with the sashimi of Spin.

Your food certainly tastes better as a dish. But Amanes' sashimi has a clearer flavor of its own. You said sashimi is the easiest to imitate and the final touches make a clear difference, right?　It's true. But you've used your own abilities and skills to overload the original designation of sashimi,

It's exactly the pitfalls of being absolutely confident in one's abilities and skills.

Realizing that, you literally spin falling to your knees.

I'm not going to say that ...... was based on this ability of mine from the beginning, and while I prepared the seasonings, I didn't use them at the last minute and used only one of them, Senchu, which was the real deal. All in the calculation ......?

”No, no.

To that spin statement, Amanes replied proudly.

I'm not going to be able to mix the spices with my skills, after all, I couldn't do it delicately!　So choose one more than Dad and the wise and brave. And I took your advice and chose this one!　That's it!

Not only were we stunned by what Amanes said, we were also stunned.

That a well-calculated mimicry of Spin's dish would result in victory because the opponent was an amateur in every way, and that it would be based solely on the ingredients.

But in any case, the result is the result.

Here we had a miraculous comeback. We got a win and a loss.
