Nagi Cheret Aurora looked at the boy in front of her who gently placed the tray on the table with warm eyes, is this her daughter's boyfriend?
Although she hasn't been back to Dongying for several years, Alice Nagiri, who often goes back to Europe and calls back, always mentions her friend named Yang Ming. \ I saw Yang Ming take a deep breath and gently lift the lid on the food, and after that, the white mist swirled around the plate, and the fresh fragrance from the ocean slowly overflowed like a stream spring.
"What is this?"
"I can't see clearly."
Some of the people in the audience stood up eagerly, trying to see the dish for what it really was, but the three of Dojima Gin, Nagi Le Aurora, and Nagi Senzaemon were so close to the dish that they could see through the misty cuisine before the audience.
"It's so beautiful," Nagichere Aurora's tone was full of admiration and appreciation.
At this time, the white fog had gradually dissipated, and everyone in the venue saw the dish clearly, and suddenly the audience was silent, and time seemed to freeze the general silence, only the sound of people breathing.
The moonlight gently sprinkled down, and in the haze, this dish was reflected like a fairyland.
"Hokkaido Honshu, Shikoku Kyushu" "This is Dongying."
When the fog cleared, the four islands of Toei appeared, which were made of sea bream dishes "This is my sea bream dish "Real Sea Bream Island Map", so please try it with the judges."
"I actually showed the map of Toei Island with sea bream" "What a skillful knife worker it takes to do this?"
Some quick-eyed people in the audience had already taken out their mobile phones to search for Dongying's map, and when they found that the map was almost the same as the curvature of the dish on the field from the outline to the corners, their jaws were about to drop "This guy is a Virgo, it must be a Virgo, right?"
How can anyone do this for a dish?
"Then let's start tasting."
Dojima Gin was also surprised when he first saw this dish, but when it comes to cooking, it's useless to just look good, it's still delicious.
The "real sea bream island map" is composed of four colors, and he hesitated for a moment, then selected the crimson part that belonged to the northernmost point and put it in his mouth.
"If you put it on a map, this is Hokkaido" Hokkaido, located in the northernmost part of Toei, is famous for its stunning snowy landscapes, and when winter arrives, the snow and wind will instantly drift in, enveloping the mountains and fields outside.
But it doesn't matter.
You can't get out, and it's the same in the house.
In the cold winter, friends gather together, sit around the warm kotatsu, their legs are slightly hot, drink and chat, and enjoy the snow outside.
And in this scene, it would be even more perfect if there was such a dish "Boiled sea bream" When the fish is chewed and slowly poured into the belly, the warm air flow rises from the dantian, and the cold air of the whole body is swept away, as if it is steamed in the sauna room This is an authentic Hokkaido delicacy Unlike Dojima Gin, Nagi Cutting Senzaemon chose the western part of Honshu Island, which is a golden sea bream dish.
Honshu Island is the largest island in the Toei archipelago and the political, economic, and cultural center of Toei, and the entire island is divided into two parts, with the western part representing the Kyoto region.
It is a place where the past history of Dongying gathers, but it has faded out of people's sight with the changes of the times, leaving this place full of memories.
Heiankyo, as its name suggests, is the spiritual hometown of all Toei people.
When people get old, they will inevitably feel nostalgic, and the same is true for the city, and the dishes prepared here by Yang Ming are the sea bream tempura with a long history in Toei.
Tempura, a dish in which fresh ingredients are coated and fried, is known as Toei Sanmi along with soba noodles and sushi.
And the sea bream tempura has an even more meaning.
Just like the Three Kingdoms period in China, the era of wars and strife and heroes in Dongying is called the Warring States.
Coincidentally, like the Three Kingdoms, there were also three heroes in the Warring States Period, such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who were scheming, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was forbearing.
Finally, it was Tokugawa Ieyasu who pacified the world in World War I and established the Tokugawa shogunate, which opened the Edo period.
However, such a heroic figure eventually died of a stomach problem because of his greed for the delicious taste of sea bream tempura Yang Ming's nostalgic "sea bream tempura" shows Nagi Senzaemon what kind of dish it is and why it is so popular with the shogunate.
The soft, fresh, crispy skin of sea bream is used to make tempura without using too many seasonings, but simply with salt and vinegar, wrapped in a special coating, and then fried.
But it's such a simple method, after the incomparably fresh sea bream meat, the crispy and fragrant dough coating, coupled with the soft and delicate meat inside, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the fried sea bream completely seals the freshness, this bite open, crispy to make people ecstasy.
"Kyoto Tempura" He seemed to see that the annual Gion Festival was held in Kyoto again, and every household hung lanterns and curtains under the eaves, spread mats, decorated flowers, and erected screens, and gorgeous portable shrines walked through the streets of Kyoto, and street vendors shouted to sell their goods.
The usual traffic passages are all open to visitors, and everyone can enjoy the open-air stalls arranged by the roadside shops while admiring the foal-shaped lanterns.
It is only at this kind of festival moment that everyone will enjoy the delicious food on the roadside while walking, and let go of the freedom and happiness of enjoying the festival.
Takoyaki, grilled dumplings, shaved ice in Ujikintoki, and goldfish clogs clattering past the lively stalls along the river, with long lines of floats, lanterns lit up all night long, and pairs of young men and women in yukata robes.
"What a nostalgic taste," he closed his eyes slightly.
This is the taste of pure Kyoto:
