1
00:00:05,672 --> 00:00:07,507
This is the last item.

2
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:37,912
Disgusting?

3
00:00:38,621 --> 00:00:40,415
Ow, ow, o?

4
00:00:40,498 --> 00:00:41,708
Honestly!

5
00:00:41,791 --> 00:00:45,420
I can't believe you've all made it
this far preparing such horrible food.

6
00:00:45,962 --> 00:00:48,214
In particular, that oyster porridge
at the end.

7
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:50,717
Yes! It was as if...

8
00:00:51,009 --> 00:00:54,637
It tasted like taking a bath
with a Western Lowland Gorilla!

9
00:00:55,764 --> 00:00:56,931
Once again, that's pretty obscure...

10
00:00:57,015 --> 00:00:57,932
WESTERN LOWLAND GORILLA

11
00:00:58,016 --> 00:01:01,352
Sure enough, her sense of taste is
different from ordinary people!

12
00:01:01,436 --> 00:01:05,690
I'd say you took a shortcut or two
with the mise en place, yes?

13
00:01:07,150 --> 00:01:10,070
I know your group is
expanding its business,

14
00:01:10,153 --> 00:01:13,573
so you're trying to make
things more efficient.

15
00:01:13,865 --> 00:01:14,866
But even so,

16
00:01:14,949 --> 00:01:18,536
did you think you could pollute
my tongue with something like this?

17
00:01:20,371 --> 00:01:21,247
I- I...

18
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:25,710
We're so very sorry, Miss Erina!

19
00:01:27,587 --> 00:01:29,923
NAKIRI

20
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:08,354
It's time to get on the road, Soma.

21
00:03:09,355 --> 00:03:11,733
Come back once you've learned
what you're made of.

22
00:03:22,076 --> 00:03:24,621
GOD TONGUE

23
00:03:24,704 --> 00:03:26,873
Man, I feel like I stick out
like a sore thumb.

24
00:03:27,749 --> 00:03:31,836
How come all the other test-takers
have butlers and bodyguards?

25
00:03:32,295 --> 00:03:33,129
DAD
CELL PHONE

26
00:03:33,212 --> 00:03:34,714
<i>Huh? Didn't I mention?</i>

27
00:03:35,131 --> 00:03:39,594
<i>You're taking the transfer test for one</i>
<i>of the best cooking schools in Japan.</i>

28
00:03:40,011 --> 00:03:44,641
<i>It's a super-elite school with</i>
<i>a graduation rate of less than 10%.</i>

29
00:03:45,767 --> 00:03:47,060
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE
TOHTSUKI FINE DINING ACADEMY

30
00:03:47,143 --> 00:03:49,520
<i>Well, good luck, Soma. That school will--</i>

31
00:03:49,604 --> 00:03:50,647
<i>Hey, Joe!</i>

32
00:03:51,022 --> 00:03:52,523
<i>Please wait a moment.</i>

33
00:03:53,107 --> 00:03:54,901
Dad, where are you right now?

34
00:03:56,277 --> 00:03:57,862
<i>New York City,</i>

35
00:03:58,112 --> 00:04:02,367
<i>the Manhattan Royal Hotel,</i>
<i>at the VIP reception hall.</i>

36
00:04:02,450 --> 00:04:03,785
Huh?

37
00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:06,079
I'm makin' food here right now.

38
00:04:07,247 --> 00:04:10,792
Hey, Joe, I'm so glad you
came back to New York.

39
00:04:10,875 --> 00:04:13,086
This is the ultimate dinner!

40
00:04:13,419 --> 00:04:16,297
Keep your voice down, Dr. McFlee.

41
00:04:16,381 --> 00:04:18,007
You'll raise your blood pressure again.

42
00:04:25,765 --> 00:04:27,183
Delicious!

43
00:04:28,559 --> 00:04:31,020
I had to leave Congress after I got sick,

44
00:04:31,562 --> 00:04:34,190
so I thought if I could eat Yukihira's
cooking one last time,

45
00:04:34,274 --> 00:04:36,734
I'd have no regrets.

46
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:40,738
But now I've gotten greedy
and want to eat it over and over.

47
00:04:41,614 --> 00:04:43,950
Sir, let's come here again.

48
00:04:44,033 --> 00:04:45,660
Yes, over and over!

49
00:04:45,785 --> 00:04:47,036
Is this where Yukihira is?

50
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,955
Let's go back please, High Priest!

51
00:04:49,163 --> 00:04:51,040
You're in the middle of fasting.

52
00:04:51,124 --> 00:04:52,458
You have to set an example for the other--

53
00:04:52,542 --> 00:04:54,544
Shut up, shut up, shut up!

54
00:04:54,877 --> 00:04:58,256
You're saying I can't eat Yukihira's food
when it's right in front of me?

55
00:04:58,339 --> 00:04:59,340
Then...

56
00:04:59,424 --> 00:05:01,884
I'll abandon my faith!

57
00:05:01,968 --> 00:05:03,261
High Priest!

58
00:05:03,344 --> 00:05:04,971
Yukihira!

59
00:05:05,346 --> 00:05:08,808
I worked in India first,
then Italy and Spain.

60
00:05:08,891 --> 00:05:10,977
I came to America yesterday.

61
00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:14,856
I plan to be cooking here on
the East Coast for a while.

62
00:05:15,273 --> 00:05:17,859
<i>Huh? I can't keep up</i>
<i>with what you're saying.</i>

63
00:05:18,234 --> 00:05:19,986
Well, I got asked a favor.

64
00:05:21,904 --> 00:05:22,739
So, Soma...

65
00:05:23,239 --> 00:05:25,700
Thinkin' you can survive
that school till graduation

66
00:05:26,284 --> 00:05:29,245
<i>and get better than me is a laugh.</i>

67
00:05:31,748 --> 00:05:33,708
<i>I'll friggin' do it!</i>

68
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:34,751
Fine.

69
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:38,838
Then I'll tell you the secret
to improving your cook--

70
00:05:40,048 --> 00:05:41,674
He hung up, dammit.

71
00:05:41,758 --> 00:05:43,426
Where is Yukihira?

72
00:05:43,509 --> 00:05:44,927
Coming!

73
00:05:47,513 --> 00:05:49,015
<i>Listen up, Soma.</i>

74
00:05:49,724 --> 00:05:51,976
<i>The trick to being a good chef is</i>

75
00:05:52,894 --> 00:05:56,189
<i>meeting the kind of woman</i>

76
00:05:56,773 --> 00:05:59,150
<i>that makes you want to offer</i>
<i>up all your cooking to her.</i>

77
00:06:03,529 --> 00:06:05,907
Well? What's the next item?

78
00:06:06,824 --> 00:06:08,242
This, ma'am.

79
00:06:09,952 --> 00:06:12,163
Judging the transfer exams?

80
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:16,542
Joining the council means
I get this kind of work, huh?

81
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:19,420
I'll head there once I've changed.

82
00:06:20,588 --> 00:06:23,382
<i>Dammit! He thinks it's "a laugh," huh?</i>

83
00:06:23,466 --> 00:06:25,510
<i>I will make it to the very end!</i>

84
00:06:27,428 --> 00:06:28,846
Ah!

85
00:06:28,930 --> 00:06:31,557
Sorry! I got some on you.

86
00:06:32,558 --> 00:06:34,060
Not to worry.

87
00:06:34,143 --> 00:06:35,603
You want to transfer in too, huh?

88
00:06:36,437 --> 00:06:37,396
Please, sit down.

89
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,314
Okay...

90
00:06:38,815 --> 00:06:40,483
Tohtsuki's middle school division

91
00:06:40,566 --> 00:06:42,276
announces their advancement
exam results today.

92
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,988
Plus, students like us from other middle
schools are here for the transfer exam,

93
00:06:46,072 --> 00:06:47,240
so it's pretty lively, huh?

94
00:06:47,949 --> 00:06:50,076
I'm Yoshiaki Nikaido.

95
00:06:50,159 --> 00:06:52,453
My family runs a French restaurant.

96
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:54,413
Huh? That's a coincidence.

97
00:06:54,497 --> 00:06:55,998
We have a family restaurant, too.

98
00:06:57,542 --> 00:06:59,544
It might not be a coincidence.

99
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,049
That fellow over there is the heir
to a nationwide restaurant chain.

100
00:07:05,133 --> 00:07:07,009
The other is the son of a major wholesaler

101
00:07:07,093 --> 00:07:08,845
that distributes fresh fish
throughout Kanto.

102
00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:13,683
Mostly everyone here works
in the food industry in some way.

103
00:07:15,309 --> 00:07:16,853
What's the name of your family restaurant?

104
00:07:17,353 --> 00:07:19,355
Ah, it's called "Yukihira."

105
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:20,857
Yukihira...

106
00:07:21,482 --> 00:07:23,109
A high-end establishment?

107
00:07:24,235 --> 00:07:25,820
Nah, it's nothin' that fancy.

108
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,489
It's just a little diner in Shitamachi--

109
00:07:28,573 --> 00:07:30,032
Huh?

110
00:07:32,869 --> 00:07:34,370
You lowly plebeian,

111
00:07:34,745 --> 00:07:37,582
you will not sit next to me!

112
00:07:38,374 --> 00:07:40,168
Listen and listen well.

113
00:07:40,251 --> 00:07:43,087
This school is not a place for you plebes!

114
00:07:43,171 --> 00:07:45,423
It is a sacred grove where only those

115
00:07:45,506 --> 00:07:48,342
who live in the world of
fine cuisine may learn!

116
00:07:48,885 --> 00:07:49,719
That's what this place is!

117
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:52,889
Tohtsuki Fine Dining Academy!

118
00:07:52,972 --> 00:07:56,976
Common rabble like yourself will surely
fail even the written exam--

119
00:07:57,727 --> 00:08:01,564
Don't go deciding what "class" I am
when you ain't even had Yukihira's food!

120
00:08:01,856 --> 00:08:03,274
Young sir!

121
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:07,445
Look at that.

122
00:08:07,528 --> 00:08:10,198
Someone from a diner thinks
he can transfer in here.

123
00:08:11,115 --> 00:08:12,200
What a joke!

124
00:08:12,283 --> 00:08:14,660
Somebody really needs to learn his place!

125
00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:17,747
<i>I can tell this will be rough.</i>

126
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:19,624
<i>If things are like this right off the bat,</i>

127
00:08:19,790 --> 00:08:22,376
<i>how hoity-toity is the judge gonna be?</i>

128
00:08:22,460 --> 00:08:23,586
DIVISION TRANSFER EXAM LOCATION

129
00:08:25,129 --> 00:08:27,298
Is that... Could it be...

130
00:08:27,381 --> 00:08:28,549
Y- yeah...

131
00:08:30,635 --> 00:08:32,303
All potential transfers,

132
00:08:33,137 --> 00:08:35,223
I will be overseeing
your transfer exams today.

133
00:08:35,306 --> 00:08:36,599
ERINA NAKIRI (15)
3RD-YEAR, MIDDLE SCHOOL DIVISION

134
00:08:36,682 --> 00:08:38,017
My name is Erina Nakiri.

135
00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:39,769
<i>A girl?</i>

136
00:08:39,852 --> 00:08:41,896
<i>What's more, she's in an academy uniform.</i>

137
00:08:42,730 --> 00:08:44,732
<i>She's gonna be the judge?</i>

138
00:08:45,316 --> 00:08:47,193
The message from
the Entrance Exam Department?

139
00:08:47,276 --> 00:08:48,110
I'll read it now.

140
00:08:48,694 --> 00:08:51,072
"First, there will be group
interviews of up to ten people

141
00:08:51,155 --> 00:08:52,782
to review your applications.

142
00:08:52,865 --> 00:08:55,493
After that, you will prepare three dishes.

143
00:08:55,576 --> 00:08:57,203
Those who proceed--"

144
00:08:57,995 --> 00:08:59,622
Such drivel.

145
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,375
All right...

146
00:09:02,458 --> 00:09:03,834
Bring the cooking station here.

147
00:09:03,918 --> 00:09:05,795
-Ma'am!
-What's up?

148
00:09:09,757 --> 00:09:10,883
Ingredients?

149
00:09:10,967 --> 00:09:12,385
What's going on?

150
00:09:20,017 --> 00:09:21,978
Your main ingredient will be eggs.

151
00:09:22,478 --> 00:09:24,355
Make me one dish.

152
00:09:24,438 --> 00:09:29,860
Only those whose dish impresses me
may transfer into Tohtsuki Academy.

153
00:09:29,986 --> 00:09:31,654
H- hey!

154
00:09:31,737 --> 00:09:33,364
All of you...

155
00:09:34,031 --> 00:09:36,200
You have just one minute, starting now,

156
00:09:36,284 --> 00:09:39,537
to exercise your right
to abstain from the test.

157
00:09:39,620 --> 00:09:41,330
Huh? One minute?

158
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:43,332
I- I abstain!

159
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:50,256
Hey, wait!

160
00:09:50,339 --> 00:09:52,049
Why are you running?

161
00:09:52,341 --> 00:09:55,177
Don't tell me you don't know
who that person is!

162
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,471
No clue. Tell me.

163
00:09:57,555 --> 00:10:00,725
That's Erina Nakiri, holder of
the greatest palate known to man.

164
00:10:01,392 --> 00:10:03,019
She's the God Tongue!

165
00:10:03,185 --> 00:10:04,186
Huh?

166
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:10,693
<i>Children usually start talking</i>
<i>between the ages of one and two,</i>

167
00:10:10,776 --> 00:10:15,072
<i>but at just three months</i>
<i>she said her first words:</i>

168
00:10:16,991 --> 00:10:17,867
This lacks flavor.

169
00:10:19,201 --> 00:10:22,455
<i>She showed such talent soon after</i>
<i>being born that from a young age</i>

170
00:10:22,538 --> 00:10:27,168
<i>she was asked to taste test for</i>
<i>famous restaurants all across Japan.</i>

171
00:10:29,211 --> 00:10:33,591
<i>All the big names in the culinary world</i>
<i>are clients of Erina Nakiri!</i>

172
00:10:34,091 --> 00:10:37,720
Any critique she gives will
spread throughout the industry!

173
00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:41,807
If she deems that you have no talent,

174
00:10:41,974 --> 00:10:46,187
your life as a chef will
be completely over!

175
00:10:48,522 --> 00:10:53,152
Sure enough, a bunch
of dimwits with no promise.

176
00:10:53,235 --> 00:10:55,446
I can't waste my time on people like that.

177
00:10:56,405 --> 00:10:58,699
That's all for today, right?

178
00:10:58,783 --> 00:11:00,201
Um, yes.

179
00:11:00,284 --> 00:11:03,037
I'm going to my room
to try out a new dish.

180
00:11:04,914 --> 00:11:07,541
<i>A new dish made by Erina-sama?</i>

181
00:11:08,918 --> 00:11:10,795
What is it, Hisako?

182
00:11:10,878 --> 00:11:12,797
Your face says that you want something.

183
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,841
Uh, no, I...

184
00:11:17,009 --> 00:11:20,638
Do you want the right to taste my food?

185
00:11:21,013 --> 00:11:23,349
I- I want it!

186
00:11:23,849 --> 00:11:27,061
My, such a greedy girl.

187
00:11:32,066 --> 00:11:34,110
I'm so sorry!

188
00:11:34,443 --> 00:11:37,613
But first, we have to make our report:

189
00:11:37,696 --> 00:11:40,408
that zero candidates passed.

190
00:11:40,491 --> 00:11:41,909
Ma'am!

191
00:11:44,245 --> 00:11:45,871
So, hey!

192
00:11:45,955 --> 00:11:48,165
Can I make whatever I want?

193
00:11:50,042 --> 00:11:51,127
<i>What?</i>

194
00:11:52,378 --> 00:11:55,798
<i>Someone would challenge me?</i>

195
00:12:03,514 --> 00:12:07,601
So long as you use eggs,
you're free to make what you like.

196
00:12:07,685 --> 00:12:09,145
But do you really want to do this?

197
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,813
If you'd rather quit, now's your--

198
00:12:10,896 --> 00:12:13,107
Man, I was really worried!

199
00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:16,444
I was like, "What if I flunked
without making anything?"

200
00:12:16,527 --> 00:12:17,445
Get off her!

201
00:12:17,653 --> 00:12:19,780
Just who do you think she is?

202
00:12:20,030 --> 00:12:21,157
Who is she?

203
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,075
She's the top student in
the middle school division

204
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,912
and the youngest member in the history
of Tohtsuki Academy's Council of Ten,

205
00:12:26,996 --> 00:12:28,747
the highest decision-making
body on campus:

206
00:12:28,831 --> 00:12:30,332
Erina Nakiri!

207
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:33,794
Whoa, this is a nice knife...

208
00:12:34,211 --> 00:12:36,046
Quit wandering around the place!

209
00:12:36,464 --> 00:12:37,923
I'll ask you again.

210
00:12:38,299 --> 00:12:40,551
Do you really intend to take my exam?

211
00:12:41,719 --> 00:12:42,553
Well, I mean...

212
00:12:44,054 --> 00:12:46,390
I just have to make you
say it tastes good, right?

213
00:12:48,684 --> 00:12:50,144
So of course I'll take it.

214
00:12:51,479 --> 00:12:52,813
<i>This man...</i>

215
00:12:52,897 --> 00:12:54,315
Erina-sama...

216
00:12:56,525 --> 00:12:58,360
Soma Yukihara...

217
00:12:59,612 --> 00:13:01,447
Your family runs a diner.

218
00:13:02,364 --> 00:13:04,783
You appear to be a second-rate chef.

219
00:13:05,409 --> 00:13:08,037
You don't know my pedigree, do you?

220
00:13:08,662 --> 00:13:11,874
<i>Much like a stray dog doesn't</i>
<i>realize a gemstone's worth.</i>

221
00:13:14,335 --> 00:13:16,754
Well, you'll have the honor
of me tasting your food.

222
00:13:17,421 --> 00:13:20,216
The flavor of the low-end of
the culinary world, I'm sure.

223
00:13:22,092 --> 00:13:23,219
I'll be pleased

224
00:13:23,719 --> 00:13:27,556
to serve you a specialty of our shop!

225
00:13:28,516 --> 00:13:29,600
Coming up!

226
00:13:29,683 --> 00:13:31,519
O Exam Monitor, Miss Nakiri!

227
00:13:36,941 --> 00:13:41,570
Eggs are a staple of Japanese,
Western, and Chinese cuisine.

228
00:13:43,072 --> 00:13:47,576
Erina-sama tastes the egg dishes of
many high-end restaurants daily.

229
00:13:47,826 --> 00:13:49,828
What sort of food will he make?

230
00:14:03,926 --> 00:14:06,345
<i>It seems he'll scramble the eggs, but...</i>

231
00:14:07,346 --> 00:14:09,974
<i>I can't see the finished product at all.</i>

232
00:14:12,268 --> 00:14:13,686
Soma Yukihira-kun,

233
00:14:14,061 --> 00:14:16,063
just what are you making?

234
00:14:18,607 --> 00:14:21,819
You've watched but you still don't get it?
Tee-hee-hee!

235
00:14:21,902 --> 00:14:23,571
I'll flunk you here and now!

236
00:14:23,737 --> 00:14:27,533
Listen up: I don't have time to spend
on some poorly made item.

237
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:31,912
I'm asking, do you intend to make a dish
that is suitable for my tongue?

238
00:14:33,289 --> 00:14:35,374
Well, fine, I'll tell you.

239
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:40,337
I'm making No. 8 on
Japanese Eatery Yukihira's secret menu!

240
00:14:42,172 --> 00:14:44,008
"Secret menu"?

241
00:14:44,091 --> 00:14:46,302
What sort of refined dish is it?

242
00:14:47,636 --> 00:14:49,054
Furikake rice.

243
00:14:55,728 --> 00:14:57,271
Don't toy with me!

244
00:14:57,354 --> 00:14:59,607
Sure enough, you're a bottom-level chef.

245
00:14:59,690 --> 00:15:01,525
This was an utter waste of time.

246
00:15:02,484 --> 00:15:03,402
Erina-sama!

247
00:15:03,485 --> 00:15:06,196
Of course, this ain't normal furikake.

248
00:15:09,158 --> 00:15:10,993
What I'm making is...

249
00:15:11,619 --> 00:15:13,621
Transforming Furikake Rice!

250
00:15:14,747 --> 00:15:16,582
"Transforming Furikake"?

251
00:15:22,129 --> 00:15:25,507
Well, it should be about done!

252
00:15:26,008 --> 00:15:27,718
<i>Soma Yukihira...</i>

253
00:15:27,801 --> 00:15:31,639
<i>Just what type of dish does</i>
<i>this man intend to make?</i>

254
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:37,227
Sorry for the wait!

255
00:15:41,565 --> 00:15:42,775
<i>No...</i>

256
00:15:43,525 --> 00:15:46,153
<i>Sure enough, he's making a fool of me!</i>

257
00:15:52,701 --> 00:15:54,912
<i>It really looks like normal furikake.</i>

258
00:15:55,788 --> 00:15:58,374
This is the work of a second-rate chef.

259
00:15:58,457 --> 00:16:00,626
It doesn't make me hungry at all.

260
00:16:01,710 --> 00:16:05,547
My palate is such that
I'm called the "God Tongue,"

261
00:16:05,631 --> 00:16:09,051
and only extravagant, top-class
dishes grace my dining table.

262
00:16:09,843 --> 00:16:12,388
It is a heavenly world of deliciousness.

263
00:16:12,471 --> 00:16:14,348
Such is where I have lived.

264
00:16:14,515 --> 00:16:16,350
Yet you would give me something like this?

265
00:16:17,518 --> 00:16:19,436
The exam is over.

266
00:16:19,561 --> 00:16:20,980
Erina-sama!

267
00:16:21,939 --> 00:16:24,692
This dish hasn't taken its true form yet.

268
00:16:26,944 --> 00:16:28,320
What might that mean?

269
00:16:34,868 --> 00:16:36,578
<i>There's something behind the egg.</i>

270
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,626
Well, take a look.

271
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:44,545
The true worth of a furikake

272
00:16:44,628 --> 00:16:46,630
is when it's on top of rice, right?

273
00:16:47,464 --> 00:16:48,882
Now then...

274
00:16:50,259 --> 00:16:51,677
It's done.

275
00:17:10,070 --> 00:17:12,489
<i>The rice's heat is melting it!</i>

276
00:17:14,783 --> 00:17:19,204
<i>As it melts, it coats more</i>
<i>and more of the rice!</i>

277
00:17:22,374 --> 00:17:24,126
<i>This aroma...</i>

278
00:17:24,209 --> 00:17:25,627
<i>Chicken?</i>

279
00:17:26,128 --> 00:17:30,883
<i>The delicate scent of slow-simmered</i>
<i>chicken is slowly building.</i>

280
00:17:31,967 --> 00:17:33,093
<i>This is...</i>

281
00:17:33,427 --> 00:17:35,429
<i>Transforming Furikake Rice?</i>

282
00:17:36,013 --> 00:17:39,016
<i>It looks completely different from before!</i>

283
00:17:39,767 --> 00:17:42,019
<i>Just what does it taste like?</i>

284
00:17:44,146 --> 00:17:47,483
I'll grant you just one bite from me.

285
00:17:49,151 --> 00:17:51,361
Hurry up and give me that bowl!

286
00:17:53,238 --> 00:17:54,323
Order up!

287
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:20,682
<i>What have I done?</i>

288
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:23,185
<i>While tasting it, I forgot to judge it!</i>

289
00:18:24,019 --> 00:18:26,730
<i>What was that texture just now?</i>

290
00:18:28,232 --> 00:18:29,733
Huh?

291
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:32,069
Gonna go for a second bite?

292
00:18:32,152 --> 00:18:34,613
I thought I heard you say "just one bite."

293
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:38,075
You have a problem or something?

294
00:18:38,158 --> 00:18:40,953
I'm just kidding. Relax and eat.

295
00:18:49,419 --> 00:18:50,546
Nikogori, huh?

296
00:18:50,712 --> 00:18:51,964
We have a winner!

297
00:18:52,047 --> 00:18:54,508
Those cubes are jelly made
with chicken wings.

298
00:18:54,883 --> 00:18:57,928
Nikogori is meat or fish broth
with lots of gelatin

299
00:18:58,011 --> 00:19:02,015
so it hardens into a kind
of jelly when cooled.

300
00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:06,145
I simmered the chicken wings in fish
seasoning, saké, and mild soy sauce,

301
00:19:06,228 --> 00:19:10,232
chilled the broth to harden it,
then sliced it up fine.

302
00:19:10,899 --> 00:19:14,987
When it goes on top of the hot rice,
the broth from the chicken wings melts,

303
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:17,698
binding with the soft-scrambled egg.

304
00:19:17,948 --> 00:19:19,825
<i>So this nikogori is a soup, so to speak,</i>

305
00:19:19,908 --> 00:19:23,120
<i>rich and infused with</i>
<i>the flavor of the chicken.</i>

306
00:19:23,912 --> 00:19:26,456
<i>The richness and saltiness</i>
<i>of the smooth broth</i>

307
00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:30,752
<i>draws out the gentle</i>
<i>sweetness of the fluffy egg.</i>

308
00:19:31,086 --> 00:19:36,925
<i>With each bite, fluffiness and velvetiness</i>
<i>caress the inside of my mouth!</i>

309
00:19:37,384 --> 00:19:41,805
<i>The melted nikogori dramatically</i>
<i>elevates the deliciousness of the egg.</i>

310
00:19:42,556 --> 00:19:46,685
<i>This is unlike any dish I've ever had.</i>

311
00:19:46,768 --> 00:19:48,770
<i>It's a world of flavor unknown to me.</i>

312
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:50,689
Well, whatcha think?

313
00:19:50,772 --> 00:19:52,691
Glad you didn't leave without eating?

314
00:19:52,774 --> 00:19:54,443
Y- you be quiet!

315
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:56,028
I'm in the middle of judging.

316
00:19:56,111 --> 00:20:00,741
Through originality and creativity,
you can transform even everyday dishes.

317
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,827
That is the food of Yukihira!

318
00:20:04,203 --> 00:20:08,624
<i>But I live in the heavenly world</i>
<i>of deliciousness.</i>

319
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:10,125
<i>I can't approve this.</i>

320
00:20:11,418 --> 00:20:16,173
<i>Food made by him,</i>
<i>the very picture of the common man!</i>

321
00:20:16,256 --> 00:20:18,675
<i>I can't approve...</i>

322
00:20:19,509 --> 00:20:23,138
<i>I can't... mustn't... approve!</i>

323
00:20:34,316 --> 00:20:35,567
<i>This flavor!</i>

324
00:20:35,651 --> 00:20:37,069
<i>It's as if...</i>

325
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,117
<i>It's like being lovingly</i>
<i>stroked by angels' wings!</i>

326
00:20:59,383 --> 00:21:01,551
Go away!

327
00:21:01,635 --> 00:21:03,136
Stay back!

328
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:05,055
No, stay back!

329
00:21:05,889 --> 00:21:08,100
No!

330
00:21:12,604 --> 00:21:14,189
<i>I don't want to approve this!</i>

331
00:21:14,273 --> 00:21:16,942
<i>My tongue... My body...</i>

332
00:21:17,025 --> 00:21:18,902
<i>They mustn't respond!</i>

333
00:21:21,989 --> 00:21:25,242
True, we're just a piddling little diner,

334
00:21:25,325 --> 00:21:28,954
and you may be the super elite
of the food world,

335
00:21:29,663 --> 00:21:32,874
but if you just sit at the head
of the table acting cocky,

336
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:34,334
there will be some things you can't make.

337
00:21:34,918 --> 00:21:36,336
For sure.

338
00:21:37,921 --> 00:21:39,298
Erina-sama...

339
00:21:39,506 --> 00:21:41,133
Well, whaddya say?

340
00:21:43,051 --> 00:21:45,095
Yukihira-style furikake rice.

341
00:21:45,387 --> 00:21:47,556
Is it delicious or not?

342
00:21:47,639 --> 00:21:49,016
Say it!

343
00:21:56,773 --> 00:21:58,400
Dis...

344
00:21:58,608 --> 00:21:59,818
It's disgusting!

345
00:21:59,901 --> 00:22:01,486
Huh?

346
00:22:05,949 --> 00:22:07,409
What the heck? What the heck?
What the heck?

347
00:22:07,951 --> 00:22:09,536
How can he be so cocky?

348
00:22:09,619 --> 00:22:12,039
Toward me, Erina Nakiri!

349
00:22:12,122 --> 00:22:13,540
Unforgivable!

350
00:22:16,376 --> 00:22:18,253
STING STING

351
00:22:19,129 --> 00:22:21,131
Soma Yukihira...

352
00:22:21,798 --> 00:22:26,344
Tohtsuki Academy doesn't
need people like you!

353
00:22:28,346 --> 00:22:30,599
