Kusunoki Rentaro versus Kurokiba Ryo.
**[00:06] Ryo**
Let the Shokugeki begin!
**[00:11] M**
Wow! He filleted the salmon so fast!
**[00:14] M**
He was so dynamic,
**[00:16] M**
but the fish was filleted with precision.
**[00:18] M**
Kurokiba-kun's even more amazing than he was
**[00:21] M**
when I faced him at the Autumn Elections!
**[00:27] M**
Kusunoki-senpai isn't holding back, either!
**[00:29] S**
His knife work is Kurokiba's equal.
**[00:31] T**
Central...
**[00:33] T**
All their members do seem to
possess top-notch skills.
**[00:37] Kusunoki**
Well, Kurokiba-kun? How do
you find your senpai's skills?
**[00:39] Kusunoki**
I hope you don't regret having
accepted this Shokugeki.
**[00:43] Kusunoki**
That'd be very off-putting.
**[00:46] Oizumi**
What's that?
**[00:48] Oizumi**
It's rice!
**[00:50] Oizumi**
And two kinds of rice at that!
**[00:52] Oizumi**
Not to mention—is that
bread dough in the bowl?
**[00:55] Oizumi**
What's the boy planning to make?
**[00:58] Ryo**
* This is the best salmon*
* dish I can make right now!*
**[01:03] Alice**
You can't lose, Ryo-kun.
**[01:05] Ryo**
What's the matter, Central?
**[01:07] Ryo**
All you've done is copy me
**[01:09] Ryo**
and act all high and mighty.
**[01:12] Ryo**
Hit me with everything you've got,
you poser elite.
**[01:16] Ryo**
Or do you just want a lame
excuse for when you've lost?
**[01:20] Kusunoki**
Yukihira and Aldini were something else,
**[01:23] Kusunoki**
but you're also pretty annoying.
**[01:26] Kusunoki**
Don't worry. I've been wanting to show off
**[01:33] Kusunoki**
my precious partners in crime to you.
**[01:37] S**
What's all that?
**[01:39] Kusunoki**
Just you watch, riffraff.

You've got to be kidding me!
**[03:38] Yuki**
So many clubs and research groups
have challenged them to a Shokugeki!
**[03:42] Ryoko**
And yet, none have won.
**[03:44] Ikumi**
Damn it.
**[03:45] Ikumi**
This means Nakiri Azami
really will get his way!
***SIGN*** Meanwhile: Hall C, Final Match In Progress
**[03:51] S**
I've seen those before.
**[03:53] S**
Back at the Autumn Elections main tournament,
when I faced Nakiri Alice.
**[03:57] Alice**
It's a steam convection oven and a cryomill.
**[04:02] Alice**
Kusunoki Rentaro-san,
**[04:04] Alice**
are you actually capable of handling
all that cutting-edge technology?
**[04:09] Kusunoki**
Given the good audience gathered here,
**[04:15] Kusunoki**
I'll be using you all to promote myself.
**[04:18] S**
Steam combo wha?
**[04:19] T**
A steam convection oven.
**[04:21] Alice**
It's an oven where an internal
fan circulates heat and steam.
**[04:26] Alice**
It's a revolutionary cooking device
**[04:27] Alice**
where the temperature and humidity
are digitally controlled.
**[04:29] Alice**
It's all you need to handle almost any
kind of preparation method that involves heat.
**[04:34] Alice**
There's no possibility
of smell contamination, too,
**[04:35] Alice**
so you can prepare multiple dishes at once.
**[04:38] S**
Seriously?!
**[04:39] S**
That's convenient!
**[04:40] Alice**
You can say it's like a
dream come true for chefs,
**[04:43] Alice**
but because of the wide
range of possibilities,
**[04:46] Alice**
you'll feel overwhelmed unless
you have the necessary knowledge.
**[04:48] Alice**
Whether you like it or not,
this device tests your knowledge
**[04:51] Alice**
of ingredients and preparation methods.
**[04:54] S**
I have to say, it's kind of unexpected.
**[04:56] S**
Can he actually use a
complicated device like that?
**[05:00] S**
He kind of acts like an irresponsible punk.
**[05:03] M**
Soma-kun!
**[05:04] T**
That's true.
**[05:05] T**
He doesn't look very thoughtful.
**[05:07] T**
I wouldn't have expected cutting edge
culinary technology to be his forte.
**[05:10] M**
Not you too, Takumi-kun!
**[05:12] Mea**
You're not holding back at all, are you?
**[05:15] Mea**
But if you're that concerned,
just keep watching him.
**[05:19] Mea**
You'll see what's amazing
about Ren-chan's cooking.
**[05:25] M**
He's marinated the prepared fillets.
**[05:28] T**
He's slicing them into sticks.
**[05:29] M**
He's wrapping them with bacon.
**[05:31] T**
Is he planning to infuse
them with salt and fat?
**[05:34] S**
Oh, here comes the steam convection oven.
**[05:37] Kusunoki**
Set the core temperature to
reach 45 degrees Celsius,
**[05:40] Kusunoki**
and heat at 60 degrees
Celsius for 18 minutes.
**[05:43] Mea**
Ren-chan is an expert at using heat,
**[05:46] Mea**
particularly low temperature cooking.
**[05:49] Kusunoki**
Behave.
**[05:51] S**
Low temperature cooking?
**[05:53] Alice**
The proteins in meat and fish begin to
denature at about 58 degrees Celsius.
***SIGN*** Flesh Begins to Harden
68°C
Low Temperature Cooking
58°C
Temperatures Conducive to Bacteria Growth
**[05:59] Alice**
Once they reach 68 degrees,
their flesh condenses and hardens.
**[06:04] Alice**
So if you keep the temperature
between 58 and 68 degrees,
**[06:08] Alice**
the ingredients won't suffer heat stress,
**[06:10] Alice**
and will remain tender.
**[06:12] Alice**
That's the basic idea behind
low temperature cooking.
**[06:17] Mea**
Bingo!
**[06:18] Mea**
Steam convection ovens!
**[06:20] Mea**
Water bath cooking!
**[06:22] Mea**
Circulators!
**[06:23] Mea**
Gastrovacs!
**[06:25] Mea**
He is a chef who commands all manner
of cutting edge heating implements!
**[06:28] Mea**
That's Ren-chan—Kusunoki Rentaro!
**[06:32] Kusunoki**
*It's all about the heating!*
**[06:33] Kusunoki**
* If you can master that,*
* you can compete in any genre!*
**[06:37] Kusunoki**
*Heat and flames!*
**[06:39] Kusunoki**
*My skills will let me take the top spot!*
**[06:45] Mea**
He's finally started to focus.
**[06:48] Mea**
Once he starts heating ingredients,
**[06:50] Mea**
he quickly calms down.
**[06:52] Mea**
It's almost as though his usual fiery
self is transferring over to his cooking.
**[07:01] Oizumi**
What?!
**[07:02] Oizumi**
Look at that shine!
**[07:04] Oizumi**
The ingredients have been
completely transformed!
**[07:09] M**
It's really pretty.
**[07:11] M**
I can tell it's really tender
just by looking at it.
**[07:14] T**
It'll probably fall apart when touched
by a knife—an exquisite mouthfeel.
**[07:20] S**
That's impressive.
**[07:22] S**
It's really like his soul went into his dish.
**[07:25] S**
I'm surprised.
**[07:27] S**
He's a great chef.
**[07:30] T**
The salamander.
**[07:32] S**
The salamander? What?
**[07:34] S**
It sure sounds cool, though!
**[07:37] Alice**
The salamander is a beast of
legend from medieval Europe—
**[07:40] Alice**
a lizard who lives among flames.
**[07:43] Alice**
That's where the name comes from.
**[07:45] Alice**
It's a category of kitchen devices
that heat from above instead of below.
**[07:49] S**
I see. Salamander, huh.
**[07:51] Alice**
It's used to caramelize the surface
of a dish for color and/or flavor.
**[07:56] Alice**
That basically means the cooking's
entered its final stages.
**[08:03] Kusunoki**
It's done.
**[08:04] Kusunoki**
I name it Salmon Confit Flamme.
**[08:08] Kusunoki**
"Flamme" means "flames" in French.
**[08:10] Kusunoki**
Go on. Enjoy this masterpiece of flames.
**[08:14] T**
So, a dish by Kusunoki Rentaro—
**[08:16] T**
one of the students chosen by Central.
**[08:19] Kusunoki**
Oh, right.
**[08:21] Kusunoki**
Momo-senpai, please try my dish as well!
**[08:24] Momo**
Why me, too?
**[08:25] Kusunoki**
This dish has a little gimmick
that employs a certain sweet.
**[08:29] M**
A sweet?
**[08:31] Kusu**
I think you'll like it.
**[08:33] Momo**
Is that supposed to be a challenge to me?
**[08:35] Momo**
I'm picky about sweets!
**[08:37] Announce**
First up is Kusunoki Rentaro's dish!
Judges, please taste.
**[08:40] Oizmi**
Here we go!
**[08:45] Oizmi**
Look at that shine.
**[08:46] Saotome**
Just smell that grilled fat!
**[08:49] Oizumi**
Hmph!
**[08:50] Oizumi**
It may look and smell like a winner,
**[08:53] Oizumi**
but how does it taste?!
**[09:00] All**
*Delicious!*
**[09:01] Oizumi**
*It's so delicious, I feel faint!*
**[09:03] Saotome**
The flesh is so tender, it could be raw.
**[09:07] Saotome**
However, the outside is fragrant,
thanks to the salamander!
**[09:11] Oizumi**
What artistry of flames!
**[09:14] Momo**
Well, it's not bad.
**[09:17] Momo**
I'll try the side next.
**[09:22] Momo**
I see.
**[09:23] Momo**
This is ice cream made from
salmon with no added sugar.
**[09:27] Viewers**
What?
**[09:28] Viewers**
What does she mean?
**[09:29] Viewers**
A salmon ice cream?
**[09:31] Viewers**
But how?
**[09:32] Alice**
The cryomill, right?
**[09:34] Kusunoki**
Nice, Alice-chan.
**[09:37] Kusunoki**
I froze salmon I processed into a paste,
and put that through the cryomill.
**[09:41] Kusunoki**
The spinning blades transformed
it into silky ice cream.
**[09:47] Saotome**
If you eat the salmon after
tasting the ice cream,
**[09:49] Saotome**
the gently heated salmon's warmth
is more evocative than ever!
**[09:53] Oizumi**
The salmon at two different temperatures
**[09:55] Oizumi**
enhance each other's
presence upon the palate.
**[09:58] T**
Thermal sense...
**[10:00] T**
Nakiri Alice employed the same technique
during the Autumn Elections.
**[10:03] Kusunoki**
Temperature, heat, and time!
**[10:06] Kusunoki**
It's all seasoning I use.
**[10:09] Momo**
* True. Their different temperatures heighten*
* the ingredients' flavors to the fullest.*
**[10:14] Momo**
* The salmon's fiery life force is streaking*
* through the cold clear stream,*
**[10:20] Momo**
*setting my body on fire!*
**[10:23] Momo**
*No!*
**[10:24] Momo**
* I can't avoid the salmon's attack*
* on my senses any longer!*
**[10:33] Audience**
It's decided, then.
**[10:34] Audience**
This match is another victory for Central—
**[10:36] Audience**
an overwhelming victory for Kusunoki Rentaro.
**[10:38] Ryo**
You can decide that *after* looking at my dish!
**[10:45] Ryo**
My salmon dish is coulibiac!
**[10:50] Kusunoki**
Coulibiac...
***SIGN*** Polar Star Dormitory
**[10:56] E**
It's so quiet...
**[11:09] (Flashback) Hisako**
That perhaps the one who'll
save Totsuki from Azami-dono
**[11:12] (Flashback) Hisako**
is that man.
**[11:18] I**
Hey.
**[11:20] I**
Is anyone home?
**[11:23] I**
Oh, is it just you here, Nakiri-kun?
**[11:26] I**
Do you know where everyone's gone?
**[11:32] E**
*I thought my heart was going to stop.*
**[11:35] I**
What?
**[11:35] I**
Hey, Nakiri-kun?
***SIGN*** With Heart
**[11:38] I**
Oh, so everyone went to check things out.
**[11:41] I**
The Shokugeki Alice-kun's involved in should
be happening right around now, as well.
**[11:45] E**
What?!
**[11:46] E**
Alice?
**[11:47] E**
Why's she involved?
**[11:49] I**
Are you curious about what might be going on?
**[11:53] Oizumi**
Coulibiac!
**[11:55] Oizumi**
Hmm.
**[11:56] Saotome**
I see.
**[11:57] Saotome**
That's why there was bread dough.
**[11:59] S**
What kind of dish is that?
**[12:01] Alice**
It involves a baked brioche shell
stuffed with salmon and rice.
**[12:06] Alice**
It's a French dish that originated in the
Russian royal court in the 19th century.
**[12:09] S**
Huh.
**[12:11] T**
You add grains along with mushrooms,
shallots, and other vegetables in the filling.
**[12:17] T**
What the judges thought were
two different kinds of rice
**[12:19] T**
are actually butter rice
***SIGN*** Buckwheat Kasha
***SIGN*** Butter Rice
**[12:20] T**
and kasha, a sautéed buckwheat
dish served in Eastern Europe.
**[12:25] Oizumi**
Ah!
**[12:26] Oizumi**
What wonderful aromas from the crusty
golden bread and the fragrant salmon.
**[12:29] Saotome**
Just look at the juicy cross-section
with the butter rice and kasha!
**[12:34] Ryo**
Quit gabbing and dig in before it gets cold.
**[12:38] Ryo**
You'll taste the irresistible deliciousness
of the salmon's explosive flavors!
**[12:54] Oziumi**
*I'm speechless!*
**[12:55] Saotome**
* The brioche is a solid casing*
* around the fillings' flavors.*
**[12:59] Saotome**
* The main fish, rice, buckwheat,*
* vegetables, and bread!*
**[13:03] Saotome**
*This dish has everything in one!*
**[13:05] Oizumi**
* The essential flavors and umami of*
* salmon are dancing in this dish!*
**[13:08] Oizumi**
*The sheer volume of it is...*
**[13:12] Oizumi**
...enough to send a jolt through your brain!
**[13:16] Alice**
Would you like to try some?
**[13:18] Alice**
I got some without asking.
**[13:20] M**
What? B-But...
**[13:22] M**
Thank you.
**[13:26] M**
* Within the bread, the energy*
* of the salmon is concentrated*
**[13:29] M**
*and unleashed in a single powerful shock!*
**[13:31] M**
*I can't!*
**[13:33] M**
*Faced with such force, I can't avoid...*
**[13:39] M**
*...taking a direct hit!*
**[13:45] M**
So good...
**[13:47] S**
Good job, Kurokiba!
**[13:49] Oizumi**
This dish, originating in
grandiose regal cuisine,
**[13:52] Oizumi**
is in excellent harmony with Kurokiba's
brute talents, which quell men at port!
**[13:58] Oizumi**
This dish must have been nurtured by the
many years of competition between those two.
**[14:04] Audience**
So, which one wins in the end?
**[14:06] Audience**
Kusunoki must be the winner.
**[14:08] Audience**
It can't be Kurokiba, can it?
**[14:10] Announce**
Cast your votes, please!
**[14:17] Judges**
Th-They're equal!
**[14:19] Judges**
I can't vote for one as superior!
**[14:22] Judges**
I can only say they both served
the ultimate salmon dish!
**[14:26] Oizumi**
Don't be too hasty.
**[14:28] Oizumi**
If you compare them one last time,
**[14:31] Oizumi**
you can tell there is a decisive
difference between the two!
**[14:34] M**
A decisive difference?
**[14:36] M**
It looked to me like they
both served great dishes.
**[14:39] Oizumi**
The most critical factor in judging this
**[14:41] Oizumi**
is to what degree each chef prevented
the loss of the salmon's umami.
**[14:44] T**
Does one of the dishes still hold a secret?
**[14:49] Mea**
I bet that secret's in the steam
convection oven Ren-chan used.
**[14:53] Mea**
I bet the judge realized it.
**[14:57] Kusunoki**
You're a sharp one, Mea.
**[14:59] Kusunoki**
This is the answer.
**[15:01] T**
It looks like olive oil to me.
**[15:03] M**
Huh?
**[15:04] S**
Hmm...
**[15:05] Mea**
The decisive difference
between the two dishes
**[15:08] Mea**
can be found in the moisture
content of the salmon.
**[15:10] Kusunoki**
Right.
**[15:11] Kusunoki**
When I sealed the salmon in plastic
wrap and cooked it at a low temperature,
**[15:14] Kusunoki**
I submerged it in olive oil.
**[15:18] Kusunoki**
If you just prepare fish
through normal means,
**[15:20] Kusunoki**
no matter how tightly you seal the fish,
**[15:22] Kusunoki**
the weight of the fish itself
will put pressure on the flesh
**[15:25] Kusunoki**
and cause the juices to run out.
**[15:28] Kusunoki**
That's where olive oil comes in.
**[15:31] Kusunoki**
Thanks to the oil's buoyancy,
**[15:32] Kusunoki**
you can heat the salmon without
placing any pressure on it—
**[15:35] Kusunoki**
without losing a single drop of moisture.
**[15:37] Judge**
Right!
**[15:38] Judge**
That's exactly right!
**[15:40] Judge**
When you bite into the dish,
it falls apart in your mouth,
**[15:43] Judge**
but most surprisingly, it's not dry at all!
**[15:46] Judge**
It's moist and juicy throughout!
**[15:48] Judge**
The salmon's lost none of its juices!
**[15:51] Judge**
His handling of the ingredients
may have surpassed Kurokiba Ryo.
**[15:55] T**
What?!
**[15:55] S**
Wow.
**[15:57] M**
But Kurokiba-kun is an expert
in cooking with seafood!
**[16:00] Kusunoki**
Now do you get why I'm better than you?
**[16:03] Kusunoki**
What was that dish you served at
the Autumn Election finals again?
**[16:06] Kusunoki**
Oh, right—the cartoccio.
**[16:10] Kusunoki**
Both that dish and this coulibiac
**[16:12] Kusunoki**
intended to concentrate the
various ingredients' umami
**[16:16] Kusunoki**
by wrapping them up before cooking them.
**[16:18] Kusunoki**
But if you were to ask me, that's not enough.
**[16:21] Kusunoki**
The delicate and elegant
heating of ingredients
**[16:25] Kusunoki**
while maintaining their absolute freshness—
**[16:27] Kusunoki**
That's the way an elite cooks!
You can't possibly come close.
**[16:31] Kusunoki**
This Shokugeki is yet another example
of how absolute the difference between us is!
**[16:34] Kusunoki**
Isn't that right, judges?
**[16:37] Kusunoki**
You haven't changed at
all since the Autumn Elections.
**[16:42] Mea**
A chef who conquers the people's palates
with violent umami, huh.
**[16:47] Mea**
There are more elegant
approaches to things, you know.
**[16:50] Mea**
Well, you can just do your best
working under us from now on.
**[16:54] S**
But has the match been decided yet, actually?
**[16:59] S**
Even though I haven't tried either dish,
**[17:02] S**
I know Rentaro-senpai said one thing wrong.
**[17:15] Judge**
The salmon's delicious umami and flavor
are far more vivid in this dish!
**[17:24] Judge**
In Kurokiba Ryo's dish!
**[17:27] Mea**
What?!
**[17:28] Oizumi**
Indeed, there is no doubt.
**[17:31] Oizumi**
Kurokiba has the edge in maximizing
the salmon's potential!
**[17:35] S**
Yeah!
**[17:36] Kusunoki**
What?!
**[17:37] Kusunoki**
What the—?!
**[17:38] Kusunoki**
What are you geezers saying?!
**[17:41] Kusunoki**
My heating method was impeccable.
**[17:43] Kusunoki**
There's no way my dish is inferior to his—
**[17:45] Ryo**
Shut your mouth.
**[17:48] Ryo**
If you're not convinced,
**[17:50] Ryo**
just try it yourself.
**[17:51] Ryo**
Try my coulibiac!
**[18:02] Kusunoki**
*What?!*
**[18:04] Kusunoki**
* The salmon's... The salmon's umami is*
* overwhelming me in a neverending torrent!*
**[18:10] Kusunoki**
How is this possible?!
**[18:13] Kusunoki**
What's this?
**[18:14] Kusunoki**
There's a green layer between the
brioche dough and the filling.
**[18:18] Ryo**
I'm showing you, Central,
**[18:21] Ryo**
that I'm not the same chef I was
during the Autumn Elections.
**[18:24] Ryo**
That's a crêpe made with spinach
incorporated into the batter.
**[18:28] Kusunoki**
A crêpe?
**[18:29] M**
I see!
**[18:30] M**
The soft, gentle flavor I sensed
when I tried the dish was spinach.
**[18:35] M**
It really highlighted the mellow
fattiness of the salmon!
**[18:39] S**
Wow, sounds really good.
**[18:41] T**
A double layer of brioche
and crêpe—impressive.
**[18:45] Kusunoki**
That's not all!
**[18:46] Kusunoki**
There's got to be another
trick to the umami torrent!
**[18:50] Ryo**
I added a custom seasoning
blend to the crepe as well.
**[18:55] S**
Seasoning...
**[18:57] Alice**
He made the spice mix himself.
**[18:59] Ryo**
It contains thyme, oregano,
garlic, and rock salt, among other things.
**[19:04] Ryo**
Dried bacon powder is one
of the ingredients, too.
**[19:07] Kusunoki**
Bacon?
**[19:08] Kusunoki**
The same as my dish.
**[19:10] Oizumi**
Indeed.
**[19:11] Oizumi**
As luck would have it,
both chefs paired bacon with salmon.
**[19:14] Oizumi**
The idea was the same, but the
execution was completely different!
**[19:18] Oizumi**
Kusunoki wrapped the bacon around the salmon
**[19:21] Oizumi**
and used low-temperature cooking to
subject them to a slow, elegant heat.
**[19:25] Oizumi**
Similar to the seafood and pork bone
broth commonly used in ramen,
**[19:28] Oizumi**
he combined the umami of fish and meat
**[19:31] Oizumi**
without letting any of the flavors escape.
**[19:34] Oizumi**
Put another way, he retained all the
delicious flavors of salmon on the plate
**[19:37] Oizumi**
in one perfect package!
**[19:39] Mea**
Then why are you saying
Ren-chan's dish is inferior?!
**[19:42] Saotome**
The key distinction was "unevenness."
**[19:45] M**
Unevenness?
**[19:46] Saotome**
The human palate is designed to sense
richness and flavor with greater acuity
**[19:52] Saotome**
when the flavors are not homogeneous.
**[19:54] Alice**
It's the same principle that
explains why many people
**[19:57] Alice**
prefer to enjoy sesame oil in
ramen broth and milk in coffee
**[20:01] Alice**
without mixing it up first.
**[20:02] S**
True.
**[20:03] S**
When you mix raw egg with rice,
**[20:05] S**
it tastes better if you don't mix it all up.
**[20:07] S**
It's better when you just dash soy sauce
over it without overworking it, too.
**[20:11] Ryo**
That's exactly what I went for.
**[20:14] Ryo**
The seasoning was applied unevenly
through the crepe on purpose.
**[20:17] Ryo**
That created two parts:
**[20:19] Ryo**
one where you can appreciate the
unvarnished umami of salmon by itself,
**[20:22] Ryo**
and one where the salmon combines with
the bacon's umami into a powerful
**[20:24] Ryo**
and deep flavor combination.
**[20:27] Ryo**
That's why with every bite, the flavors
resonate so heavily in multiple stages.
**[20:33] Ryo**
The salmon's distinct flavors burst on
the palate in neverending succession!
**[20:36] Ryo**
You can never achieve such a world of flavor
**[20:38] Ryo**
just by slapping bacon onto salmon!
**[20:43] Oizumi**
Kusunoki's dish may appear
superior at first glance,
**[20:47] Oizumi**
but Kurokiba not only used the brioche
and crêpe to envelop the umami,
**[20:51] Oizumi**
but also accelerated the
salmon's delicious flavors.
**[20:54] Kusunoki**
* He even thought of using an uneven*
* application of spices to his advantage?!*
**[20:59] Kusunoki**
You were supposed to be a chef who just
slams ingredients' umami together!
**[21:04] Kusunoki**
You weren't capable of coming up with such a
delicate approach during the Autumn Elections!
**[21:08] Ryo**
You're right.

We must redeem ourselves after the

**[22:14] S**
Of course you're not the same chef you
were in the Autumn Elections, Kurokiba!
**[22:18] Ryo**
I've changed.
**[22:21] Ryo**
From where I stand,
your salmon might as well be frozen!
**[22:28] Oizumi**
Kurokiba is the winner!
