Magi Craft Meister

Well, it looks like it's time for you to take a break and have lunch.

And Jen saith, As the attendant returneth unto me,

"Oh, that's the last time."

"I noticed you were hungry."

It was a meaningful time.

I talked to the others.

Well, come this way.

Ren guided everyone to the observation deck cafeteria on the second floor.

"Oh, it's wide."

Nice view.

The observatory cafeteria is located on the north side of the second floor with a nice view of Lake Tosmo.

Since it is clear today, the mountains in the north also look thin.

"This is a restaurant that focuses on the cuisine brought about by the Second Generation."

This means searching everywhere for ingredients such as rice, miso, soy sauce, katsu bushi, kombu, algae salt (if any), topopo (potato), and crocodile (soba), and collecting them.

"The cook is a five-color golemmaid."

The recipe of Penglai Island is reproduced as-is, so the same thing can be made except for the ingredients.

Oh, I'm looking forward to it.

"Hmm, I don't suppose there's any dishes I've never eaten."

"I don't know if it meets your expectations, but today is a special menu."

At the end of Jen's words, a five-color golemmaid brought lunch.

"What is this...?"

"Uh, it's called Kaiseki cuisine."

Kaiseki cuisine is a full course of so-called Japanese cuisine.

Incidentally, Kaiseki cuisine is a "Shinomigi" type of snack served at tea parties.

Nevertheless, Jin (and Magus) have never eaten official kaiseki cuisine, and only know that rice and miso soup come out at the end, and that suckers and simmered goods come out, so it is "what kind of kaiseki cuisine".

However, there is nothing in this world that can point out what is different.

If I add one thing, I also add the element of "enjoy the season".

Not only do they use seasonal ingredients, but in spring they are designed to be cut into flower shapes such as cherry blossoms.

"Let's start with 'first come first served'."

This word is the only one I remember.

"First... oh, that's the first dish served."

To put it this way, Mitsuho's chief, Atal Mutu, understood the meaning of 'first come,'

There are similar things like "passage" and "protrusion".

"Pass through" is a light, pinchy dish that receives an order for the first dish from a customer.Its origins appear to have come out to show that the shop has accepted the customer's order.

Also, "protruding" seems to be a "passing through" in Kansai, but "passing through" seems to be said to be the first to put out (= protruding) regardless of the order, whereas "passing through" is put out after receiving the order.

Nonsense.

"Beginning with" is the first dish pre-built into a course called kaiseki cuisine.

This time, it is a red-white combination of carrots (carrots) and turnips.

Oh, it's New Year's, so it's red and white.

Atal Mutu said the same thing.

"Yes, in addition, I use winter vegetables.Especially the turnip is called "Spring Seven Herbs" and is one of the vegetables that precedes spring and precedes the seasons. "

Elsa gave a supplementary explanation.

Seven grasses of spring.

Seri, nagana, geese, hakobela, chestnuts, tin, tin, tin, tin, tin, tin, tin.

In the form of a song, it seems to have been thought of by the old people that vitamins can be taken in springtime and during the time when the youth are scarce (when the presence of vitamins is of course unknown).

"Oh, this is delicious."

Atal Mutu was the first one to put chopsticks on.

Looking at it, the guests also put chopsticks one after the other.

Incidentally, "Chopsticks for Japanese cuisine" is rooted in culture, and all attendees are able to use chopsticks.

"We keep sugar, vinegar and salt to a minimum."

Since it tastes like Penglai, Elsa explained it to me.

Now, after "first"... Jin doesn't remember.

So, "What the hell" is kaiseki cuisine.

The next thing that came out was suction.

Oh, what is this?

"It's a mellow kelp sucker.Pour the thinly shaved kelp with hot water sourced from bonito sauce, flavor it with a little soy sauce, and finally add the aroma with chopped shallots. "

"Hmm, it's refreshing, but it's still delicious."

"I see, it tastes a few steps better than what I've eaten before.Maybe the bonito soup works. "

"Yes, the taste of the kelp and the bonito flavor combine to produce this flavor."

"Hmm, it seems simple and deep inside."

It seemed quite popular.

Next is sashimi, or sashimi.

"It's a New Year's Eve, so it's called" Thai Sashimi. "

Oh, that was the words of the Sage (Magus).

This is Atal Mutu, the sheikh of Mitsuho.

And the stew.

Potatoes, carrots, onions and pork stewed in a glass bowl... or "meat potato".

"Oh, this is delicious again."

It's a relishing taste.

"The flavor of 'Shoyu' will still determine it."

"It's good not to persevere."

The tempura of "Shrimp", "Bisna (eggplant)", "Crispy (large leaf)" and "Natuli (pumpkin)" are further fried.

"Salt, Amazuyu, whoever you like."

"Oh, it's tempura. I don't like this."

Yeah, this is a good taste.

"This salt... yes, 'algal salt'.I can't say anything about it. It tastes good. "

"Your clothes are dry.This texture feels good again. "

"That's right, Amazuyu uses dashi stock and balancing soy sauce with sugar is important.The salt is exactly what I said, and we use algal salt. "

Since Elsa explains, Jen is very helpful.

"There are a few tricks to making your clothes soft, such as melting in cold water or not stirring too much."

"Hmmm...."

And rice and miso soup are served.

Rice cooked with fresh rice from Koh Phong Lei (Koh Phong Lei can be harvested all year round), and miso soup of crumbs (clams).

"Oh, it's cooking so fluffy, so glossy."

"Miso soup, it smells like nothing"

"Kelp stock is basic because it also comes out of the crumbs, but we also use a little bonito stock for hidden flavors."

Elsa explains that she uses a small amount of bonito stock and sprinkles and fragrances the Kryptona (beetles) so as not to disturb the flavor that comes out of the shellfish.

"Uhm, it's really a 'treat'...."

No, I enjoyed it.

"Please wait. Thank you for closing."

Elsa blocked the words that she thought would be over.

"Fruit miso beans, made from Tengsa, served with citron, persimmon and curry fruit and black honey."

"Oops! This is it!"

"Oh, the delicious surprise."

And all the guests who drank the finest tea seemed satisfied, and Jen and Elsa were relieved.
