Chapter 329: Hase Ichiro's 'Hidden

Ah.

A group of people looked disappointed, and Xia Yu didn't say much more. He just used his left hand to move a few small plates, neatly arranging them on the countertop, and went about mixing the sauce with great interest, as calm as a breeze in clear sky, showing no signs of the tension typical of a cooking competition.

"Then try mine first!"

Hase Ichiro went back to his cooking station, standing behind the deep-fryer.

The ingredients he prepared were mainly vegetables and fruits. Since Tempura is not a heavy dish to begin with, it prioritizes the ingredients themselves, preserving their natural flavors. The dipping sauces were simple: one dish contained delicate sea salt, another held finely grated radish, and of course, there was lemon juice, typically paired with slightly oilier food like eel. Hase Ichiro laid out these dips, their purpose ambiguous.

The crowd turned to surround his station.

At Xia Yu's side, only Sen Tian Makoto and Tiqie Helinai remained.
