A report from the World Health Organization shows that...

Japan is considered one of the countries with the lowest obesity rates in the world, and it has the lowest obesity rate among developed countries.

This is indeed the case in reality. Anyone who comes to Japan will exclaim, "You can hardly see any fat people on the streets!"

Of course.

Sumo wrestlers, except for one!

Interestingly, Japanese people don't like sports and generally don't have a fitness habit.

Upon closer examination, the reason might be that set meals are the most typical dietary pattern in the Japanese diet.

In Japanese restaurants, you can often see dishes like "Beef Set Meal" on the menu, with the main dish name preceding "Set Meal".

From childhood to adulthood.

Mayumi is a frequent customer of this Yukihira diner.

Although the space here is small, the daily set meals inside are quite interesting.

There will be new ideas every day.

There are seven different choices each week.

Especially Yukihira Joichiro's cooking, it's simply amazing, you can eat it without getting tired of it!

Every time I eat at a small restaurant like this, I feel inexplicably relaxed; just peeking at the other diners around me is fun enough.

The bespectacled man on the left has a serious expression. He meticulously mixes the rice in a set meal of grilled beef rice with a ritualistic gesture and eats it all without leaving a single grain.

Well!

It must smell delicious, right?

The three boys on the right look like they've only been working for a short time; they ordered quite a lot of food.

……

Come to your senses.

Kurase Mayumi then quickly picked up her chopsticks.

He picked up a small piece of teriyaki chicken cutlet, then opened his mouth without hesitation and started to bite into it.

When you chew it, you first experience the crispy skin from the frying, followed by the satisfyingly tender and chewy meat.

He took a small bite.

Slowly, juice began to ooze from the thigh.

The specially prepared teriyaki sauce is not too thick or sweet; on the contrary...

It's very flavorful.

……

"Hmm~"

Mayumi was so excited she almost jumped up.

"The teriyaki chicken cutlet made by Soma is really meaty!"

"It looks very appealing with its glossy appearance, and it's juicy, tender, flavorful, and delicious... The perfect cooking time gives it an exquisite flavor."

"The skin is fragrant, and the chicken thigh meat inside is juicy. The skin and meat go together in your mouth, blending with the unique aroma of the sauce."

"You can fall in love with it in an instant."

In fact, Soma makes teriyaki chicken cutlets.

The teriyaki sauce is made using a secret recipe, reportedly made with 15 different spices.

This makes the flavor more savory and rich, with a hint of sweetness and a refreshing aroma.

Simultaneously.

Preparation of teriyaki sauce.

It also gives the chicken a shiny, appealing sheen and a firmer, sweeter texture.

The outer chicken skin becomes crispy and fragrant after being pan-fried.

The chicken inside is tender and juicy.

With every bite, you can feel the rich flavor of the teriyaki sauce and the savory taste of the chicken blending together, bringing an unparalleled taste experience.

……

"Next up is this teriyaki chicken cutlet!"

After swallowing, Mayumi, still wanting more, immediately set her sights on another teriyaki chicken cutlet.

Although the teriyaki chicken cutlets made by Joichiro and Soma are not much different in terms of appearance, you can still see some differences if you look closely.

then.

Mayumi didn't think much about it either.

He quickly picked up his chopsticks again and began to savor Joichiro's cooking.

The moment she took the first bite, Mayumi's taste buds were instantly captivated by an unprecedented and amazing flavor. She was frozen in that moment, unable to recover for a long time.

After a long while, her eyes regained focus.

Finally, she spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly with a hint of respect: "I...I think that Senior Joichiro's cooking is still superior!"

"Soma, I won again!"

Upon learning the result, Joichiro patted Soma on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

"Dad, you got lucky this time," Soma said dejectedly.

"Oh?"

"It's quite pleasant here."

However, at that moment, as the wooden door was pushed open, a figure in a suit appeared in front of Soma Yukihira and the others.

“This person…” Shiro Ichiro looked up at the unfamiliar diner who had suddenly appeared and was taken aback.

Chapter 34 The Wandering Chef

At a glance.

It was all thick soup, and the soup clung to every single chewy noodle.

Tempeh, reminiscent of char siu pork, paired with marinated bamboo shoots and sprinkled with scallions, creates a rich and satisfying flavor that instantly captures the heart and whets the appetite.

Plus.

Soft-boiled egg, seaweed, and red ginger.

Anyone with eyes can tell that this fragrant ramen will definitely be delicious when it tastes good:

It felt amazing!

……

however.

Lin Xu, dressed in a suit, secretly wanted to slap himself.

Damn it, I'm so stupid. I ate Erina's incredibly salty Sapporo ramen this morning. And tonight, as an executive officer, I came to the diner and ordered a rich broth ramen.

Sigh, looks like I'm definitely going to have to deal with ramen today.

"Dad."

"Isn't it almost 10 p.m. now?"

"Won't it be too much to eat a bowl of thick ramen at this time of day?"

Over there, Soma swallowed hard, staring incredulously at his father, Yukihira Joichiro, and said...

"Do not worry."

Jōichirō shrugged, unconcerned.

"Although my soup is rich, it is not made by simmering pork bones and chicken bones, but by simmering soy milk with some seafood, vegetables and mushrooms."

"It looks rich and smells very fragrant, but it's not greasy at all."

"Dad is always so thoughtful."

Upon hearing this, Soma Yukihira felt a deep sense of admiration.

……

Move your nose.

Jōichirō's fragrant ramen.

The aroma that wafts out is just like the wine after the cork has been opened—it's incredibly intoxicating!

"So that's how it is. Besides using soy milk to make the soup base, some taro paste was also added?"

Lin Xu scooped up a spoonful of the thick soup, examined it carefully, and finally seemed to understand something.

The smooth, delicate, and slightly sticky taro was shredded into taro paste. As a result, this rather unique soup looked even richer, but it wasn't greasy at all; on the contrary, it was quite light.

It's perfect to enjoy it at this time of year.

Moreover, the thinly sliced ​​lotus root and burdock were fried until golden and crispy.

Roast carrots and turnips over charcoal until slightly charred, then season with salt to bring out the deliciousness of these ingredients.

no doubt.

This seemingly ordinary bowl of fragrant ramen.

Every ingredient is cooked properly, giving it a richer flavor.

“Interesting. This ramen dish can rival my Sapporo ramen.”

Lin Xu's eyes flickered.

……

Fragrant Ramen is actually a Japanese ramen dish.

Noodle dishes have a very long history all over the world, but Japanese ramen has only been around for a century and was introduced from China.

Because food knows no borders, and Japanese ramen has its own unique charm.

Ah!

Since it's Japanese ramen...

The key to this fragrant ramen lies in its broth.

Therefore, through observation, Lin Xu quickly deduced that the ramen broth was made from kelp, mushrooms, soy milk, and taro paste.

"It really is vegetarian broth; there's not a single piece of meat in it!"

"Moreover, the umami components of kelp and mushrooms, when combined, can have a synergistic effect."

Lin Xu sighed.

This bowl of ramen is of a certain standard.

Not to mention the students of Totsuki Academy, even the more than 100 three-star chefs recognized by WGO can only look up in awe!

……

The rest.

Lin Xu then came to his senses and took a small sip of the thick soup.

"Huh? This is..."

He was completely stunned the moment it entered his throat.

"Soy milk, with its silky and delicate texture, sets a mellow tone for the broth."

"It's like a graceful dancer, lightly leaping on the tip of your tongue, carrying a hint of natural sweetness that complements the subsequent ingredients without overpowering them, yet perfectly enhancing the overall flavor profile."
