Shenhao starts from system downtime

Chapter 1226 Longquan
After greetings, the guest of honor is seated and the chef is in place.

Japanese cuisine pays attention to freshness, among which the extremely exquisite kaiseki cuisine is the best. There are usually 14 links in the whole meal, often starting with the first payment and ending with the water. In order to ensure the freshness and taste of the cuisine, kaiseki Stone cuisine is usually made on the spot in front of the guests, and each dish is cooked and eaten right away.

As the founder of the NO.1 kaiseki restaurant in the whole day, Tadashi Matsukawa's culinary skills needless to say. Although he is old now, he is still able to do a job with ease when standing in front of the kitchen counter, and his gestures are full of the demeanor of a master .

"People often think that kaiseki cuisine mainly eats fresh ingredients. In fact, this view is somewhat one-sided. People who really understand kaiseki cuisine actually eat the chef's ideas and art."

"Fresh ingredients are important, but what is more important is how the chef should express his feelings about the season in his cuisine, so that his diners can feel the experience that starts from nature and returns to nature. A little chef is enough to be worthy of the top two words."

Matsukawa Tadashi in front of the kitchen counter started the pre-paid production, Lin Qian and Watanabe Shuichi sat opposite each other, Watanabe Shuichi said this to Lin Qian with a smile.

"I have also eaten in many kaiseki restaurants in China, and occasionally I heard that the true meaning of kaiseki cuisine is actually contained in six words."

Today's Lin Qian is no longer that little white man who has never seen anything in the world. In the past, when faced with such topics, he often listened more and talked less, or only listened and didn't talk, but what he saw and heard now, Enough to support him to no longer show timidity when talking to others.

"Oh?"

"Mr. Lin can speak six words, but five colors, five flavors and five methods?"

Tadashi Matsukawa, who was cooking food for Lin Qian and Watanabe Shuichi on the kitchen counter, couldn't help talking to Lin Qian with great interest after hearing Lin Qian's words.

"Exactly."

Lin Qian replied with a smile.

"Mr. Matsukawa, what are the five colors, five flavors and five methods?"

"How come I've never heard of it?"

Watanabe Hideo showed a little surprise, he asked Tadashi Matsukawa.

"These five flavors are bitter in spring, sour in summer, sweet in autumn, sweet in winter, and astringent."

"The five methods are steaming, frying, boiling, roasting and raw."

"As for the five colors, they are Green Spring, Zhu Xia, Bai Qiu, Xuan Dong and Bright Yellow."

"In the traditional kaiseki cuisine, these six characters are actually the general outline of kaiseki cuisine, and a chef who can truly master the key points of these six characters, even if he is not top-notch, will not be far behind."

Tadashi Matsukawa explained to Shuichi Watanabe with a smile, while serving dishes for the two.

"This is the best human crab from the Houshi Fisherman Fishing Port in Kyoto Prefecture. The crab roe is delicious and the crab meat is tender. If you dip it in wasabi and soy sauce, it is definitely a rare gluttonous feast."

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Watanabe, do you need us to serve you some wine?"

Matsukawa put two plates of dishes that were extremely beautifully arranged and even called art in front of Lin Qian and Watanabe Shuichi, and then asked them with a smile.

"Mr. Song Chuan, to invite Director Lin to a banquet, it is natural to treat each other with good wine. This time, I won't bother Mr. Song Chuan to accompany us. I prepared it myself in advance." Watanabe Hideo finished with a smile, and then looked at Lin Qian Go: "Director Lin, can I have some sake?"

"can."

Lin Qian nodded slightly.

"Director Lin, wait a moment, the wine I prepared will definitely not disappoint you."

When Xiu Watanabe saw Lin Qian responding, the smile on his face couldn't help but widen.

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked out of the box. When he returned to the box again, he had a rectangular golden brocade box in his hand. The big characters - Longquan!
"This is……"

Matsukawa Tadashi saw the big characters on the golden brocade box in Watanabe Hideo's hand, and he was a little surprised, as if he had guessed something.

"This is Longquan Junmai Daiginjo."

Watanabe Shuichi's words confirmed what Matsukawa Tadashi thought in his heart.

"How many generations?"

"Fourteen generations!"

"What year?"

"2002's!"

While responding to Matsukawa Tadashi's inquiry, Watanabe Hideichi opened the golden brocade box, and took out a wine bottle that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with a well-sealed mouth.

"It turned out to be the 15th generation Longquan Junmai Daiginjo from [-] years old."

"Mr. Lin, you should drink more of this bottle of wine later, it's really rare."

Song Chuanzhong was a little emotional, and then he reminded Lin Qian jokingly.

"Oh?"

"Is this [-]th generation Longquan Junmai Daiginjo very rare?"

In the past, when Lin Qian was in China, he usually drank foreign wine or red wine, but he rarely drank sake. Most of them were drunk with Japanese food, so Lin Qian really didn't know much about sake.

"Mr. Lin, the 720th generation Longquan Junmai Daiginjo has been ranked first in Japanese sake for many years, and it is also the most expensive Japanese sake in the Japanese market. The price of Daiginjo is usually 40 yen, and there is usually no market. For example, Mr. Watanabe’s 1800ml 15-year-old 400th generation Longquan Junmai Daiginjo, I am afraid Around [-] million yen."

Tadashi Matsukawa briefly introduced to Lin Qian the supreme status of the wine in the Japanese sake world held by Shuichi Watanabe. This wine is equivalent to Feitian Moutai in Chinese baijiu, and it is also a vintage Feitian Moutai.

The only difference is that the price gap between the two is a bit big, 40 yen converted into soft sister coins is about 2.5, and 400 million yen converted into soft sister coins is 25, while the domestic Feitian Moutai Although it is very expensive, Feitian Moutai of the same year is obviously not comparable to the [-]th generation Longquan Pure Rice Daiginjo in the hands of Duan Bianxiu.

It’s not that the domestic Feitian Moutai is inferior to the [-]th generation Longquan pure rice daiginjo in the Japanese country. After all, the stock of domestic Feitian Moutai is dozens or even hundreds of times that of the [-]th generation Longquan junmai daiginjo in the Japanese country. With such a difference in quantity, the price naturally varies greatly.

"Chairman Watanabe brought out such good wine, it seems that we will not return home drunk today."

Lin Qian saw Watanabe Xiu skillfully opening the wine, so he couldn't help but said with a smile.

"It's rare to have a thousand cups of wine with a bosom friend. When you meet a hero like Lin Dong, you must be drunk and never go home."

Watanabe Hideyoshi spoke very beautifully in one scene, and even quoted an ancient Chinese poem. Then he picked up the wine bottle and leaned over to pour Lin Qian the wine.

Tadashi Matsukawa, who was standing in front of the stage, couldn't help but a look of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw Watanabe Shuichi take the initiative to pour wine for Lin Qian.

"Director Lin, please!"

"Chairman Watanabe, please!"

The two sides respected each other, then raised their heads and drank the wine in the cup...
