Akihabara Pioneer Road Chapter 358: 【The opponent is the **** of ramen! 】The 1st update!
"Ah, are you Master Yuji Yamagishi of 'Ichilan Ramen'? Please come with me!" The staff wearing ear studs greeted warmly, guiding visitors who were pulling suitcases and handing business cards to him the lounge.
This is Yamagishi's first visit to the TV studio building.
To say that old classmate Lin Daye's work style is really vigorous and resolute. The last time he said that he would participate in a TV show of a food showdown, he didn't expect to be notified so quickly to go to the scene to record the show.
Yuji Yamagishi was uneasy in his heart, and more strictly speaking, he even rejected and rejected the recording of this program.
There is only one reason - because the opponent is not generally strong.
Speaking of the opponents in today's duel, it was mentioned in the letter of introduction and process description sent by the program team earlier.
When the store manager Yamagishi opened the envelope and saw the name of the store, his hand shook and the envelope and letter fell to the ground.
"I'm not dazzled, am I wrong?"
This was Yamagishi's greatest feeling at that time.
Because what impressed me was that he picked up the letter paper and stared at it for another ten minutes in order to confirm that it was "Da Sheng Xuan", the name of the store that made me sweat!
The **** of ramen refers to Kazuo Kishi, the founder of this "Da Sheng Xuan" ramen shop!
It is said that he is the originator of tsukemen, and is an absolute leader in the ramen world.
When Yamagishi was still a student at Yamate University, he paid a visit to the main restaurant "Dasheng Xuan" located in Higashi Ikebukuro, but before entering the store, he was frightened by the long queue of diners waiting to enter. Arrived.
Although people in the island country like to queue, it was around eleven in the morning on a weekday.
The line of more than 100 people is too long.
Are there so many people around Higashi Ikebukuro who don't need to go to work?
Dare to wait for him to enter the line of more than 100 people to know that there are many people who come here from other districts and even other counties to taste the signature craftsmanship of "The God of Ramen".
The saying is based on word of mouth and talk about the "God of Ramen", the biggest reason is that he created a new era of neon ramen.
Simply put, he took the operation of the ramen shop and the craftsmanship of ramen noodles to a new level that no one had ever done before.
To be honest, the invention of "tsukemen" is just a by-product of the "ramen genius" Kazuo Kishi on the road of invention and innovation.
It is said that he was born in a wealthy family in Nagano Prefecture, and he had enough food and clothing since he was a child, but he did not choose to stand out or a comfortable and stable career, but insisted on going to Beijing to enter a ramen shop as a "practice apprentice".
There is a saying in the food industry that "sushi restaurants sharpen knives for one year and cook for three years and knead rice for eight years", which means that if you want to learn the essence of cooking, you need a lot of repetitive basic boring work.
Because of this characteristic of the industry, there is of course an unattainable gap between "apprenticeship" and "independent opening" in a ramen shop. Although the numbers are only an approximation of the difficulty, it will take at least ten years to become a master chef in the food industry.
But Kazuo Kishi did it in only three years.
His secret has nothing to do with his character in the end. According to rumors, the reason why he stubbornly threw himself into the ramen line is because of the person he loves, Kishi's distant cousin. For Kazuo, for his cousin and lover who loves ramen, he can give all his efforts.
So Kazuo Kishi is actually making ramen noodles with love, incorporating his wholehearted love into the noodles.
The bigger purpose of many people coming here is to taste the "flavor of love" for the purpose and ingenuity of making food.
Yamagishi didn't come here because of this background story, but he seemed to understand something when he first saw the "Tashengxuan Signature Tsukemen" served.
The water-filtered noodles are crystal clear with an alluring halo. The soup used for dipping noodles is mellow and fragrant, and the strong aroma of the big bone paste soup reveals a bit of the unique fragrance of fish, which makes people salivate just by the taste. The selection of dishes is also just right. The yolk of the cut egg is orange and semi-solidified, which is the kind of classic hot spring that is cooked at the right heat. The dried and bamboo shoot tips are marinated one and the other is fried, which complements the fresh green onions and scallions next to each other; the most attractive is the two pieces of tempting large barbecued pork - the fat and thin pork belly is stewed first and then grilled, and the muscle texture is vertical and fast. It was cut into two large slices, and from the cross-section, it could be seen that the rich gravy was locked inside, and anyone who looked at it could not help but move their index fingers.
When Yamagishi picked up a chopstick of noodles and dipped them in the soup briskly and brought them to his mouth, all the delicious signals he had previously sensed by sight and smell were all overshadowed by the taste. The pleasure of chewing glutinous noodles made him unforgettable for a long time since then.
The smooth chewiness of the noodles and the delicious taste of the dipping soup were continuously superimposed in Yamagishi's mouth, and then magnified, making him marvel at the same time he couldn't stop.
And he can be 100% sure that this noodle is definitely handmade by Kazuo Kishi and processed by a special process, otherwise it would not be so chewy while maintaining the uniqueness of swallowing. of smoothness.
Not to mention the salty fragrance of eggs, the crispness of seaweed, the refreshing taste of tender bamboo shoots, the refreshing taste of chives, and the gravy splashing in the mouth from those two large pieces of barbecued pork.
The **** of ramen, well deserved!
Yamagishi looked at the empty dishes, and said silently in a voice of admiration and admiration from his heart: Thank you for your hospitality!
To chef Kazuo Kishi, who is hidden in the back kitchen door, and even to his beloved cousin!
This bowl of ramen filled with love really lives up to its reputation!
Since then, Yamagishi has a respected idol in his heart!
But now, the food showdown opponent who was dragged by Linda to the TV station to record the show was actually the **** of ramen in his heart? !
Isn't this strength too disparate?
Although "Yilan" is on the rise in all aspects, how can he be the opponent of "Ramen God" Kazuo Kishi?
Yujio Yamagishi, opposite Kazuo, has already decided the winner and the loser in terms of fame and name, right?
How can "Yu Er" be compared with "Yu Er"?
Linda is also this guy~IndoMTL.com~ He doesn't know the name "Ramen God", right?
What kind of crushing and restraint does he want "Yilan" to accept in front of "Da Shengxuan"? !
Who knew that when Yuji Yamagishi told Linda about his concerns and thoughts, he just smiled and said lightly:
"Just do what you're supposed to do! It's all mine!"
Doesn't that mean I didn't say the same thing?
What's the difference with you? You are not the "ramen god"!
Have you ever tried "Da Sheng Xuan" tsukemen?
Is it reliable?
I'm really worried...
