Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

In the end, Hisako finished the entire bowl of sea bream ramen.

Even at the very end, still wanting more, she slightly turned her body, raised the bowl high and then slowly tilted it down, her gaze fixed on the last drop of rich white soup in the bowl.

Immediately afterwards, her cherry-like mouth opened slightly, her eyes full of anticipation, like a little bird waiting to be fed.

There was a "click" sound.

The last tiny drop of white soup landed precisely in the little mouth.

Hisako smacked her lips, a contented and satisfied smile spreading across her face.

……

Many people have been to Japan.

People subconsciously feel that Japanese ramen is really too salty and not tasty at all.

Indeed, in Japanese cuisine, which is traditionally known for its light flavors and emphasis on natural tastes, ramen often features a lot of ingredients and is quite salty. However, it would be unfair to generalize about all Japanese ramen based on this alone.

There are many varieties of Japanese ramen.

Every restaurant has a different flavor. For example, even though it's the same Hakata ramen, Ippudo Ramen tastes better than Ichiran Ramen.

In terms of soup base flavor, there's actually not much difference between the two. However, Ippudo has the advantage of more substantial char siu pork, black sesame oil for added aroma, and perhaps a wider variety of side dishes.

Erina's sea bream ramen in white broth is especially fresh.

The key is to use just enough ingredients to ensure the flavor of the Akashi sea bream, and then focus on the soup base.

In short.

In Hisako's eyes.

A person who can quickly identify various problems and flaws after only one meal, and then make rapid changes based on that...

In the entire Totsuki Academy, there was no one else besides Erina!

……

The setting sun, a crimson afterglow.

The forests in the mountains were all dyed a light red.

As the sun slowly sets, its color gradually deepens to a dark black, and the clouds on the horizon change in countless ways, creating a magnificent and beautiful scene.

Gradually, as the sun completely sank behind the mountain peaks, the last rays of light disappeared.

Star!

Then he stepped forward.

Seeing all this cycle repeat itself, one's state of mind will inevitably change, one will experience many situations one has never encountered before, and one may even gain new insights into life!

now.

Hisako, who just finished eating ramen.

I was just about to happily chat with Erina and share her joy of takoyaki ramen.

However, they found Erina standing by the window, resting her chin on her hands and gazing at the scenery outside.

What was she thinking?

Could it be that she's thinking of Ye Chen, who's far away in France?

……

That's right.

At this moment, Erina was indeed thinking about and missing Ye Chen.

She recalled every word he said to her, the scenes of him satisfying her tongue with various dishes, and even more involuntarily, her gentle, warm smile!

"Ugh!"

Finally, Erina let out a sigh.

Before parting, Ye Chen had told him not to think about him too much, but he actually did end up thinking about him.

Of course, she didn't think she had fallen in love with him; she just thought he was a peculiar person with a profound understanding of cooking and ridiculously strong culinary skills and abilities.

Most importantly, even someone like his mother was deeply impressed by him!

“Residential training program”.

Will Ye Chen really come?

Erina thought to herself.

It's only been less than two days since I parted ways with Ye Chen, but it feels like we've been apart for a very, very long time!

"Young Miss, are you thinking about Ye Chen again?" Hisako asked softly.

"Ah."

Erina responded softly.

Suddenly, she spoke up: "To be honest, for me, the person who can make the dish that heals the tongue of God is definitely the most unforgettable person in my life."

"Huh? What about me? Am I not one of your closest people?"

Hisako said, feigning anger.

"Of course you are too, as are Grandpa, and... my mother whom I haven't seen for ten years."

Looking at Hisako with bright, sparkling eyes, Erina chuckled softly, "Alright, tomorrow's the opening ceremony. As the top student in the elementary school, I'll be giving a speech at the ceremony. You should go and get some rest!"

"Uh-huh."

"You should also get more rest."

Hisako nodded, her tone full of joy.

……

At a small restaurant.

On his first visit, WGO Executive Officer Rantabi ate a confit duck, two servings of salt-baked sea bass, and a bowl of rice.

Oh, and to finish, still feeling a bit unsatisfied, I ordered a glass of Monaco beer. This red-colored beer is made with 1664 beer, pomegranate juice, and sparkling water; it has a low alcohol content and is especially suitable for women.

The standard amount of food for a normal person is usually around 250 to 400 grams.

For petite and lightweight girls like Rantab, the usual amount of food per meal is around 250 grams.

and so.

Her stomach was clearly full long ago.

But he was completely oblivious and kept eating until he left the restaurant, when he finally felt that bloated feeling of fullness!

"This is so satisfying! It's been so long since I've had a restaurant where I can so happily rave about the food," Rantabi exclaimed, thoroughly enjoying his meal.

But then she remembered something very important, and her expression changed drastically. She slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "Oh no! I was so focused on Ye Chen's cooking and imagining the ingredients that I forgot the purpose of this trip!"

……

As the Executive Officer of WGO.

Rantabhi is the "spy" of the culinary world.

She often appears alone, seemingly carried by the wind, in renowned restaurants, and then, under the cover of night, disappears into the darkness.

The review process is extremely confidential, and everyone works as an outsider. For example, they use pseudonyms when they go to restaurants, remain inconspicuous while eating, and secretly write down any notes in a notebook or type them into their phones in the restroom.

Sometimes, they even hire a temporary worker to accompany them to meals to eliminate any possible sense of awkwardness!

Anyway.

Unless it was intentionally exposed.

It would be difficult for anyone to know that she is the WGO Executive Officer.

As is well known, executives are extremely busy, simply because the WGO star rating standards are indeed very high, requiring them to visit a restaurant at least once every 18 months.

For restaurants that are seeking a star rating, such as:

To upgrade from one star to two stars, you need to visit the restaurant four times; to upgrade from two stars to three stars, you need to visit the restaurant ten times.

basically.

Over the course of a month.

I spent at least three weeks at the restaurant.

The remaining week was spent on the road to restaurants.

……

Tonight, she's going to visit a French restaurant called "SHINO'S"!

The restaurant was founded by Kojiro Shinomiya, known as the "magician of vegetable cuisine." He is a highly regarded Japanese chef in Paris and a recipient of the Prussian Order of the Order of the Boer.

This restaurant, SHINO'S, focuses on French cuisine while incorporating Japanese ingredients and culinary philosophy.
