Food Wars: Taste Reversal

10 minutes after the start of the assessment, the first batch of flowing water noodles has been made.

Shiraki's flowing somen noodles are not portioned by servings but instead measured by the amount of dipping sauce consumed. The dish offers a self-serve option: by placing the pre-prepared dipping sauce in a portable hot water dispenser, diners can help themselves with ease. Shiraki's innovative approach to "quick" and "self-service" dining leaves Dojima Gin pleasantly surprised.

While other students simply follow the standard self-serve cooking methods, Shiraki takes it a step further by making the guest prepare the entire dish from scratch by themselves!

However, even so, there was a steady stream of customers lining up at Shiraki's booth.

"It's interesting, running water somen noodles, it looks like it's about to start, let's go over and have a look, right?"

The fun form of 'flowing water somen noodles' is able to attract a group of customers in itself, not to mention the added version of Shiroki's flowing water somen noodles.

All kinds of pigments mixed with spices, not only in smell, but also visually like rainbow jelly, directly attracted the attention of all the children in the exhibition hall, and the children were attracted, so can parents still run?

"Mom! I want to eat that!"

"It smells so good, and it looks fun! I want that too!"

"What a beautiful Sauce!"

The children in the neighborhood took their parents' hands one after another, and stalked the guardian to the booth where Shiraki was, and the parents who came over took a look... Good guys, this line is almost thirty meters long, right?!And everyone has a bowl of dipping sauce in their hands, and they are a little entangled, but smelling the strange aroma coming from the booth, they still involuntarily go up and get a bowl of dipping sauce, run to the back of the crowd and start to line up.

Inui Hinako who was in the first line of guest, couldn't wait for a long time, and seeing that the first batch of somen noodles that had been flowing down from the exit , she immediately stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a large ball of noodles in it, and couldn't wait to put it in the dipping sauce and put it in her mouth.

The Shinomiya Kojiro behind Inui is not slow either, don't look at him wearing glasses and looking like a gentleman, the people behind waited for a long time and didn't see a noodle left in front of them, they all stretched their necks to the front to inquire about the situation, I didn't expect it.

I saw that the five people at the front of the line, with extremely fast movements in their hands, picked up the noodles from the bamboo tube and put them into the bowl, and quickly eliminated the noodles floating down from the top one bite after another, and actually didn't give the people behind a chance to take advantage of it!

When Hinako Inui took her first bite of the noodles, she felt that familiar, fluttering sensation return. The firm texture of the noodles paired with the dipping sauce, whose ingredients were impossible to pinpoint, made each bite a fresh and exciting experience. Initially, she had dismissed the idea of flowing somen noodles combined with self-service as merely a playful novelty. However, with her second bite, an entirely new burst of flavor and sensation erupted in her mouth, transforming her perception completely!

If the previous dough of somen noodles was completely covered by the dipping sauce, then this time, from the mouth of the noodles to the multi-layered flavor of the noodles itself, it has formed a perfect fusion with the dipping sauce, which is a completely different taste!

Inui Hinako subconsciously looked at Shiraki's cooking table, just in time to see those 'domino spices' that were slowly falling, as the kneading machine operated, different spices were injected into it one after another, which led to the taste of each batch, and even each bite of dough completely different... It's a genius idea!

The most unbelievable thing is... How exactly does Shiraki accurately calculate the amount of fusion between each spice, and the actual ingredients injected into the automatic kneading machine... How much calculation is there, Hinako can't imagine, herself in his shoe at all.

Kojiro Shinomiya looked at those dazzling 'spices', and cold sweat also oozed slightly on his head.

Even if you let him do it himself, after telling him how this dish works... He didn't dare to say that he could accurately calculate the amount and timing of so many spice mixtures, and the complexity of this is not only the mixing ratio of flour and ingredients, but also the 'flowing water' used in the running water noodles, the ingredients of the noodles themselves, the configuration of the dipping sauce, and even the soup used to cook the noodles... It is precisely because these need to be processed by the machine that the amount of calculation is more complicated than the 'handmade' somen noodles, after all, 'handmade' means that the chef can make full use of the previous cooking experience, and the bonus of feel and proficiency is very large, and if all these tasks are left to the machine... Then, if there is only one part of the process that goes wrong, the whole dish will taste completely wrong.

This 'flowing water somen noodles' in front of you... Almost every bite can make people experience different flavors, and the most intuitive feeling is that when diners are still immersed in the previous taste, the next more surprising flavor will follow, just like an endless treasure trove... It's exciting to see what the next flavor will be?

Because of this, as soon as the people in front of them ate this dish, they felt completely unstoppable, and the endless flow of somen noodles flowed down the mouth, but there was not even a single noodle that passed smoothly through the middle of the section.

After a long time, the diners in the back finally erupted.

"What are you doing up ahead?"

"Even if it's the chef of the Totsuki, if you want to eat again, you have to go to the back of the queue!"

"You'd better leave us something, or else hehe..!"

"It's too much, we've been in line for a long time!"

Reminded by the diners in the back, the people in front were shocked to realisation, that they were constantly scooping noodles from the bamboo tube, eating too selflessly, and they forgot for a moment that this was at the assessment site... However, the fun of digging for treasure is too strong, and every bite is a new experience, and even Kojiro Shinomiya has eaten somen noodles that are no less than his own 'nirvana dishes'... Before you know it, you can't let go of the bowl.

However, there is still a sense of responsibility as an examiner, and soon, the people in front have consciously lined up at the back of the line, but then, the scene that made everyone dumbfounded happened again.
