Shokugeki: Start with an izakaya, making everyone cry

Chapter 14 Nakiri Erina, first visit to the izakaya

After coming out of Harugotei, Nakiri Erina looked a little dazed.

She still couldn't understand how this roadside snack made by skewering pieces of meat on bamboo skewers and then grilling it could be far better than the expensive French foie gras?
She really wanted to go to Kukuchiengo to demonstrate the difference in taste and texture, as well as the richness of the flavor!

Unexpectedly, Kikuchichi Sonoka just said: "You have never eaten the food of an izakaya, how can you dare to be so confident?", and she was silenced!
"Miss."

"It's still raining lightly now, so get in the car quickly!"

Seeing that Erina seemed to be worried, Nito Hisako on the side had no choice but to remind her.

"Ah."

"I see."

After saying this, Erina walked lightly and wanted to get in the car and leave the Harugotei restaurant.

However, as soon as she stepped into the car, she frowned slightly and turned her eyes to the izakaya next door again.

When she first came to Chunguotei Restaurant, she might not have realized the existence of this izakaya, so she didn't pay much attention to it!

Now, take a look.

Only then did she realize that this izakaya open at night was different from what she had imagined!
"Fish Sand."

“Today’s food tasting process is over, and I have nothing to do now when I go back!”

"So, I want to change my mind and go to that izakaya to see if it is really like what senior Kikuchichi said, common people's cuisine can beat noble cuisine!"

After saying that, she quietly walked into the izakaya with a skeptical attitude.

Behind her, Nito Feisako was a little stunned. After all, she didn't expect Erina to suddenly change her mind.

But she didn't say much after that, she just hurriedly followed Nakiri Erina and walked in with her.

……

Izakaya.

From the appearance point of view, the overall appearance is simple, but full of characteristics!
Its facade is not very big, with only two wooden doors, each door is 2 meters wide.

Although it is made of wood, it does not leave any mottled marks or cracks.

Above the door, there is a small signboard with a simple pattern that marks the name and characteristics of the izakaya.And every night at 7 o'clock sharp, when the izakaya is about to open for business, Zhang Fan will light up this signboard first!
Enter the izakaya.

The first thing that catches the eye is its bar.

The bar counter is also made of thick wood and has been carefully processed and polished to make it very sturdy and durable!

Although it is impossible to carefully measure the height of the bar with your eyes, it should be between 1 meter and 1.5 meters.

Ah!
such a height.

Diners can sit at the bar, face the chef, and watch the chef making delicious food.

The interior decoration is also very unique and different from other izakayas. The walls and ceiling are painted light yellow, giving people a calm and mysterious feeling.

On the walls, you can even see some decorations, such as some traditional paintings.

Also.

Inside the izakaya.

There are also some hanging lanterns and paper lights, adding a warm and romantic atmosphere to the entire space!
Erina, who had just entered, saw that every diner here was talking loudly.Their laughter and cheers continued, and even in the corner, some diners could be seen singing and dancing.

Their performances often win the attention and applause of other diners.

Obviously, this lively and free-laughing atmosphere surprised Nakiri Erina at this time!
……

"Miss."

"Is this place really an izakaya?"

Hisako, who was also looking at this izakaya, finally couldn't help but asked in wonder.

She couldn't believe her eyes and couldn't understand that a small izakaya could be so joyful and put a happy smile on the faces of every diner here!
Shocked!

It was simply too shocking!

Could it be that this izakaya has a very mysterious magic power that is bewitching the diners behind its back?

"Senior." "Why are you here?"

Unexpectedly, Hisako's exclamation could not bring Erina back to her senses at all.

She noticed that the diner sitting closest to the cooking table, eating octopus balls, was actually the female student who currently represented the strongest Totsuki Academy, Ringtong Kobayashi!

ha?
what's the situation?
The second seat of the Ten Elites will be here?

"Oh."

"It turns out to be Erina!"

After swallowing, Ringtong Kobayashi looked in the direction of the sound.

When she found out that the person who called her was the eldest lady of the Nakiri family, Ringtong Kobayashi was inevitably stunned!
Immediately, she continued to take a large octopus ball, took a big bite, and asked in a calm tone: "What? Are you here to eat too?"

"what?"

"That's it!"

"Actually, I came to Chunguo Pavilion tonight to try out the food."

"Then I heard from Kikuchichi-senpai that the cuisine at this izakaya is comparable to, no, better than her Harugotei's Western cuisine!"

"So... I came in here with a dubious attitude."

Noble birth.

Possess the talent of God's Tongue.

Coupled with Nakiri Thistle's "extreme education", her childhood left a serious psychological shadow!

So much so, under the influence of many things.

Erina's character is a bit extreme, especially when it comes to treating civilian food, she often shows a disdainful attitude.

Therefore, in many people's minds, she is a genius girl from Totsuki Academy, but she is also a rose with thorns, and no one wants to get close to her!

of course.

Facing Kobayashi Gentian.

She also knows how to curb her pride and show a calm and casual look!

"what!"

"No no no!"

"Then you've come to the right place. The food in this izakaya is really good, and maybe it can even conquer your God's Tongue!"

Open your mouth wide and continue to taste the Kobayashi gentian of the octopus balls.

Those bright eyes suddenly became round, and after looking at Erina for a moment, they couldn't help but smile.

……

As the second seat among the top ten.

She is very aware of the power of God's Tongue.

It is precisely because of the existence of the "God's Tongue" that the Nakiri family has an unshakable position in the cooking and gourmet world of the entire Neon Kingdom!
After all, she, Erina, can judge and decide the future careers of all chefs with just one sentence.

This supreme influence cannot be matched by anyone.

and so.

In the eyes of many people.

The tongue of God is an ability that can make everyone envious and jealous.

at the same time.

It has become the dream of all chefs to conquer the tongue of God with cooking.

It's just that after so many years, there is still no one who can make Erina feel truly satisfied with just one dish!
