Shokuki: Start with an izakaya and make everyone cry

This kind of sake.

In the neon country, it is no exaggeration to say that it is unique.

The overall taste is mild but not strong, but it is addictive and makes people want to take a sip at any time of the day.

Especially the sweet taste when you drink it is very romantic, warm and unforgettable!

"Then I won't be polite!"

Finally, Kobayashi Rgentian couldn't wait and began to sip it carefully.

When the clear and transparent Japanese sake flows down the tongue and into the stomach, it feels a little sweet, and the taste is not very strong.

The aroma and taste are equally important, and the fruity aroma is rich. Even after swallowing, the aftertaste is smooth.

The whole process seemed to make her whole body full of strength!

"Wow!"

"This...this wine..."

Involuntarily, Xiaolin Ringtong's face became a little surprised!

…

Night in neon country.

It always reminds people of an izakaya inadvertently!

It seems that this place always has a kind of magic. Whether you are a social worker who has just finished work, whether you are a high school student with a heavy workload, or a housewife who is working hard for life. In short, no matter where you come from, Izakaya will have something to offer you. your position!

A bottle of wine!

A side dish!

What a delicious dish!

Here, you can find pleasure and satisfaction in a beautiful dining environment.

In front of me, this is Kobayashi Gentian who has just been drinking.

She is also a regular customer who often appears in the izakaya. I remember that she was here when Zhang Fan opened the restaurant on his first day.

And her identity is actually a prospective third-year student of Totsuki Academy's Advanced Department.

I heard that not long ago, she had just become the second among the top ten, and her status was second only to Si Yingshi. She was considered to be a first-class big shot in the entire Chaliao Cuisine Academy!

…

During this time.

Almost every quiet night.

Kobayashi Ryoden would come to this izakaya and patronize the owner's business.

And every time I come, the first thing I do is ask him for a bottle of wine. Then she drank wine alone and ate some side dishes that made her feel refreshed and delicious!

"Shopkeeper!"

"Your wine... feels a little different from before!"

"Although the entrance is as refreshing as before, it slowly turns into a slightly astringent aftertaste."

“This unique taste is hard to find with any dish, and is more suitable for drinking alone!”

After taking a sip, Kobayashi Rgentian put down the glass and began to exhale the fragrant aroma of wine.

Then, she blinked her bright eyes and asked Zhang Fan curiously.

"This sake you're drinking."

"The alcohol content is 15 degrees, and the rice polishing step is 50%. Both of these indices are indeed different from the sake I have brewed in the past."

"In other words, this sake has a richer layering."

"As you drink it, its aroma, taste and other aspects will continue to change, so you need to calm down and savor it carefully!"

“Only in this way can you appreciate some of the connotations of this sake!”

When Zhang Fan, who was busy handling the ingredients, heard this, he only raised his head and glanced at Xiaobayashi Rgentan, and then replied calmly.

…

In fact.

This is an izakaya.

It’s been over a month since it opened!

After running the business for a long time, Zhang Fan discovered that people in Neon people like to drink, and it is common to have unlimited drinks.

In addition, most of the diners who come here to drink and eat are social animals.

In the workplace, they have a clear distinction between upper and lower ranks, so what they often see is that in the lively atmosphere of the izakaya, the seniors will coax the juniors to keep drinking!

Therefore, whenever it is about to close.

Zhang Fan is faced with the problem of how to wake up drunk diners and drive them away!

In desperation.

Some days ago.

Zhang Fan had no choice but to make some improvements to all the homemade wines in the izakaya.

Without affecting the taste and texture, we used some methods to reduce the alcohol content of all wines!

After listening to Zhang Fan's explanation, Xiaolin Ringtong couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Attentive, she had already discovered that the sake in the cup was indeed less strong, but the taste was purer than before.

Since the first time she came to the izakaya for dinner, she discovered that the personable owner Zhang in front of her was indeed mysterious and extraordinary!

Let’s not talk about anything else.

Just in the field of cooking.

Even she, a legendary figure who had just been promoted to the second seat of the Top Ten, had to feel inferior in front of him!

Every time she comes to the izakaya, sitting here and tasting the exquisite dishes he makes, she can actually gain a lot from it and benefit a lot!

maybe?

This is why Ryo Kobayashi likes this izakaya!

…

time.

Fleeting!

After a long period of slow roasting with fruit wood smoke.

When it comes to beef on the bacon rack, most of the fat has been baked into the meat.

You can smell the deliciousness of beef and the smoky smell of charcoal fire. Even Kobayashi Gentian, who is very close at hand, has an appetite!

Then a few drops of lemon juice were poured on the beef, and the alluring aroma burst out in an instant. Wisps of hot air filled with the smell of smoke and meat kept curling up in the air.

Gradually, the smoked beef on the bacon rack became so attractive!

Next to him, Xiaolin Ringtong couldn't help but swallowed his saliva.

Those golden eyes filled with greed were just staring at the smoked beef that was about to be finished in front of them!

finally.

With an elegant salt-sprinkling motion, it comes to a complete end.

The last dish, the smoked beef, is finally finished!

Kobayashi Gentian couldn't wait to see the plate of freshly baked smoked beef in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel even more excited!

After that, she quickly took her chopsticks, picked up a small piece of beef, and couldn't help but eat it!

Just entered.

I just feel like this smoked meat.

Very tender, not as rotten as expected.

With a smoky flavor and a light woody aroma, the beef tastes unique!

"Hmm~"

"I see!"

"The smoked beef is first cut into neat and clean pieces."

"It is then sprinkled with a layer of secretly prepared foundation composed of more than 10 kinds of spices and smoked. Among them, two spices are the best for removing the fishy smell of beef and increasing the aroma of beef. One is grass fruit, and the other... um... Is it Shannai?”

"Anyway."

“The real flavor comes from the hour-long slow-fire smoke.”

“You also need to apply sauce from time to time during this period to add moisture and flavor to the meat.”

"That's why you only need to cut a small piece of beef and put it in your mouth. The delicious meaty aroma mixed with the original taste of smoke is enough to make you have endless aftertaste."

After swallowing and savoring the taste, Ringtong Kobayashi said excitedly.

There is no doubt that the last plate of smoked beef in front of her really surprised her!
