Chapter 151 Long live the sweet party! 【Please subscribe~】

Sukiyaki is also called hoe yaki.

It is said that it originated from the fact that farmers used iron tools such as hoes on hand to heat meat during busy farming seasons. It got its name.

Another theory is that due to the prevalence of neon Buddhism and Shinto, Emperor Tenmu at that time prohibited people from eating livestock. People would only eat "sukiyaki" when they were sick to replenish their health or when there was a day worth celebrating.

However, the sukiyaki at that time did not eat beef, but the "chicken hotpot" was also called sukiyaki. It was not until the Meiji era that the "chicken hotpot" became the popular "beef hotpot" now.

Therefore, eating sukiyaki also has the meaning of celebrating, similar to how family members cook red bean rice and eat it when a loved one has a happy event.

Although not long after they started dating, their parents unexpectedly found out about their relationship, but they were recognized by their parents. This kind of happy event is still worth celebrating.

That's why Karasawa said to celebrate by eating sukiyaki.

Many people think that sukiyaki is a variation of hot pot because soup needs to be added to the pot, but in fact it is a type of pan-frying. The soup must not cover the ingredients, which is the core principle of sukiyaki.

So if you eat something cooked in a deep pot with a lot of soup, congratulations, you have eaten something fake.

Of course, Karasawa and Ayako don't have to worry about this problem.

After deciding to eat sukiyaki, the two decided to try out the sukiyaki restaurant Ayako had read about in a gourmet magazine.

After arriving at the store, there was indeed a lot of traffic here. Although it was very early, the store was already very busy.

After the two chose a double seat in the corner, the two core ingredients were served - free-range eggs and beef.

Beef is naturally the main ingredient in sukiyaki, but sukiyaki is incomplete without eggs.

Fresh egg shells are printed with the farm serial number, which can even be traced back to which chicken. Coupled with strict procedures, this ensures the safety of raw eggs.

Looking at the almost red beef with only a few "snowflakes" and the matching ingredients put into the pot, the two of them couldn't help but look forward to it.

It is said that beef with evenly interlaced fat and tendon has the best taste, but this statement does not apply to sukiyaki.

Because the fat is too rich, it will become incidental in sukiyaki. If you don't eat a few slices, it will feel too greasy, which will affect your appetite.

Of course, this does not mean that leaner is better. The red meat part also needs to be delicate and soft to bring a tender taste.

Pick up a piece of fried beef, coat it in egg liquid and put it in your mouth. The sauce mixes with the tender beef and the umami flavor of the egg, and bursts out on the tip of your tongue.

"Well, it's really delicious~ The refreshing taste is also a must-have~" Ayako smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Karazawa-kun, let's come here to eat next time. I want to try Kansai style next time~"

"Okay, it tastes really good." Tang Ze nodded in agreement as he felt the delicious taste, and then asked: "But you said there is also Kansai flavor here?"

"Yes, this store specializes in various styles." Ayako introduced with a smile: "The refreshing wind of Kanto and the strong wind of Kansai make people argue every time."

"Really? What's so quarrelsome about this?" Tang Ze was a little surprised. Shouldn't a dish like this have more flavor, the better?

There are hot pot, spicy, clear soup, and tomato hot pot. The two extreme opposites of sukiyaki are too exaggerated.

So the main reason is that the Kanto and Kansai regions have too strong a sense of rivalry, and they also have to differentiate themselves when it comes to food. "Actually, part of it is the differences in ingredients. Except for the regular beef, mushrooms, chrysanthemum, and tofu, which cannot be called sukiyaki without adding them, the other auxiliary ingredients are completely different."

"Although there is tofu in the regular series, the Kansai version is white tofu."

Ayako said as she picked up a piece of tofu, placed it in front of Karasawa and explained: "You see, the Kanto style we eat is grilled tofu, but it will be different from here on out."

"Oh...that's it." Karasawa listened to Ayako's explanation, looked at the tofu that was handed to him, and ate it directly.

"Ah..." Ayako couldn't help but feel a little shy when she saw that the food she picked up was eaten by Karasawa.

Although her original intention was just to show the ingredients to Karasawa, who would have thought that the action was too similar to feeding between lovers, and she was eaten directly by the other party.

"Is it intentional? Or is it a mistake?" Ayako was thinking randomly in her mind.

The main reason is that this is not yet the open era where KISS photos can be posted, and the culture of showing affection and torturing dogs is not yet open.

Such an intimate act in public is still a little "exciting" for a thin-skinned lady like Ayako.

After all, although the two of them had obtained the consent of Suzuki Tomoko, they had not been together for a long time, so Ayako was a little shy when making intimate moves.

Tangze saw this, so he took the initiative to increase intimacy. This kind of interaction can also deepen the relationship between the two.

After all, men always have to take the initiative~
  Seeing Karasawa taking it for granted, Ayako's accelerated heartbeat gradually calmed down.

After a moment of hesitation, Ayako continued to pick up a piece of bamboo wheel and introduced it again: "Look, this is the auxiliary ingredient of Kanto style. Kansai style will not add this."

"Ah, I quite like this."

Tangze ate it tacitly again and felt the taste similar to fish balls in his mouth. He couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile: "I quite like eating fish balls and fish cakes made of fish paste."

The reason why Karasawa said this is because Chikuwa is a hollow cylindrical food that is also made from a mixture of fish meat, egg whites, and flour.

The outside of the bamboo wheel seems to have been roasted by fire, with some brown wrinkles. It is called lion dog fish ball in Xiangjiang.

Food similar to fish paste has a unique fish flavor in your mouth. It is a type of food that Tang Ze prefers to eat.

"Yes, some of the auxiliary ingredients that you prefer will determine the taste you choose." Ayako said with a smile: "But because Kansai style is sweet, it also attracts many people."

"Wha...what...it actually tastes sweet..." Tang Ze froze for a moment, then struggled: "Okay, I finally understand why so many people are arguing about it, but they feel the same way."

"Karazawa-kun, do you like sweet food?" Ayako couldn't help but ask after hearing this.

"Well, especially flower dishes, such as sweet and sour pork tenderloin, cola chicken wings, braised eggplant (sweet), they are all my favorite after all~"

Karasawa said without hesitation: "As long as it's a sweet dish, I basically like to eat it!"

Long live the sweet party! !
