Chapter 347 – Rhubarb
Omakase.
This is a popular food ordering style in Korea.
‘Though it’s a bit distorted.’
Coffee, sundae, and free-range chicken are all there.
Known for its Japanese-style course meal feel.
Percussion!
Actually, it’s not that great.
The shop owner just does it moderately.
“What is this? It looks peculiar.”
“I don’t know.”
“Is there anything that you don’t even know?”
“You just have to eat without knowing this.”
The first plate comes out.
If you have to use an analogy, it is a food that is symmetrical to an appetizer.
‘It’s thinly sliced blowfish.’
Sea grapes, menegi, and grated radish are plated.
Dip the fugu into ponzu and bring it to your mouth.
It’s chewy.
As if it has been aged for a long time, the more you chew, the more savory and umami come up.
Talk! Talk!
When your mouth gets bored.
When you pick up a stem of sea grapes and eat it, the salty seaweed scent pops out.
“Wow, delicious!”
“It’s good enough.”
“Do you eat it rolled up?”
“Roughly.”
Place menegi and grated radish on top of puffer fish.
In Japan, instead of water parsley, they eat leek or menegi.
Agjak!
It can be said to be the sprout of green onion, or green onion.
It is eaten with a refreshing grassy taste and texture without much taste like radish sprouts.
‘It’s a good combination to whet the appetite.’
Chef’s choice.
I think it was good to visit a restaurant when it matched my taste.
That’s why we do omakase.
There is no better place to listen to than a place that takes good care of you.
Percussion!
The next plate comes with simple sashimi.
Tsukemono, a Japanese pickled vegetable, is served together.
‘Eat something greasy from the start.’
Red meat of tuna, flounder, sunfish, red sea bream, and conch.
It is composed of something mild and plain.
Appropriate for my taste.
There are many kinds of tsukemono, such as radish, carrot, and zucchini, so the color is beautiful.
“It’s a drinkable combination.”
“Why didn’t you drink?”
It would be a pity to skip a drink on such a snack.
Popular things like Kubota and Dassai are good, too.
‘I wish I had come to Japan.’
There are better options too.
It is much better in terms of taste and value for money.
『Nabeshima Kitashizuku Junmai Daiginjo Nama』
Make it with the appropriate one from the one in the store.
He’s a guy who would fit in well with the party.
“Junmai Daiginjo means high-quality sake, right?”
“I remember.”
“It seems like there’s more written on it, but…”
Sora had drunk it before.
It can be called the deepening board.
‘Junmai Daiginjo-class sake made from rice called Kitashizukura in Nabeshima.’
Nama means live.
Korean makgeolli is also heat treated when exported overseas.
Yeast must be killed to prolong shelf life.
The downside is that the taste is also poor.
Every bit~
What didn’t do it.
It offers a superior taste for the same price range.
Sake is poured into a wine glass.
At high-end bars, sake is enjoyed this way as well.
“Isn’t that a wooden cup?”
“You can enjoy alcohol just to get drunk, but a dedicated glass is better for savoring the taste.”
“Oh~.”
Collects incense.
When you put your nose to it, it smells of fragrant citrus.
And the tangy soda scent.
‘This is why raw wine is good.’
Weak carbonic acid.
Just as there is carbonation in makgeolli, alcohol with live yeast is bubbly with carbonic acid.
Refreshingly soothes a tired tongue.
The first taste is sweet, but the finish is dry and clean.
“Is it delicious?”
“Tell me how to make it taste better?”
“Ah, I know! Warm it up and eat it.”
Atskan.
It is a way to drink sake warmly.
It often appears in comics and dramas.
‘That’s a good way, too.’
There are many good cultures in Japan.
Let’s try to get to know one of them.
Every bit~
Pour sake.
A natural cup created by nature is visible in front of you.
“Do you really want to go back?”
“No.”
“Wipe it right now.”
“I’ll give it to you.”
Nyotaimori.
It is a traditional Japanese culture that uses a woman’s body as a vessel.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
When you come to Japan, you must follow the Japanese culture.
‘I can accept good Japanese culture.’
I can’t let go of narrow-minded thoughts.
Sora’s eyes are wide open and he’s straight.
It’s creepy enough to make your flesh tremble.
Even the customers in the store and even the chef are nervous.
Gulp! Gulp!
I can’t throw away the precious wine.
Put your nose in your breastbone and drink it with a slurp.
‘Even if I die right away, I should drink this.’
It’s hard to try even if you have a fairly large chest.
Because it flows through the valley.
It’s because it’s full of flesh, so it’s well.
It’s warm enough to drink at a comfortable temperature.
“Clap! Clap! Clap!”
“Sugeeeee~!!”
That sight.
Koreans will look at you strangely.
The obsession with women is very extreme.
‘This is a rhubarb copy.’
Culture comes first.
No, it’s an act that a man can’t help but instinctively want.
“I envy you!”
“Is it delicious?”
“Hontoni, Oisides, Gore.”
The beauty of travel.
It is about interacting with people I met locally.
I feel like I have blended into the country.
‘Well, I guess.’
Looking at the food quality, it’s not a cheap place.
The occupations of the customers are also from the upper class, such as lawyers, bureaucrats, and managers of large corporations.
Percussion!
So, you can enjoy this food.
Sushi made with oily fish such as medium-fat, black amberjack, lobster, and engawa is served.
Percussion!
Good warship rolls to fill the stomach.
Sea urchin, salmon roe, Konogawa, Negitoro, etc. Are used in abundance.
“I know sea urchin or salmon roe, but what is this?”
“Sea Cucumber Semen.”
“Don’t give a damn.”
“Really.”
The taste and composition are quite solid omakase.
It’s hard to see them as the real upper class.
“Looking at something like Negitoro.”
It is a ball of flesh scraped from tuna bones.
There is no choice but to have an image of low-grade food.
Unido Ogawa or Hirakawa.
Even the sweetness of vegetables does not seem to have a brand.
“Does it taste good?”
“Well, that’s right.”
“The price is good enough for this.”
It’s just not real by any means.
It is true that it is an upscale pub.

Traces of it remain.
The price of 6,000 yen per person has almost doubled.
“What is this? You’re not pretending to be a tourist?!”
“No. Even the locals are eating their backs.”
Consumption tax.
It corresponds to the value-added tax in Korea.
It is an additional 8% of the price of the goods.
‘That’s right, even so.’
The rest may not make sense.
Why am I being charged a fee that I didn’t even order?
It is a sign of the bubble era.
In the past, when people ate well and lived well, they were paid in different ways.
“You say it’s still there?”
“Okay.”
“Japan isn’t that rich right now, so there doesn’t seem to be any reason to maintain that…”
Such stores.
Of course not many.
The bubble ended 30 years ago.
‘It’s because there are people who are still living in the bubble era.’
There are old people who can’t forget the past!
It is not something to simply think about.
It is the key to understanding Japan.
You need to know about the dankai generation.
“The Dankai generation?”
“586 in Korea.”
“Ah! You’re talking about baby boomers.”
It is true that Japan is a great country.
In fact, it is natural for ilbbong to occur.
‘Nevertheless, the reason why I took pictures of the lost 50 years.’
Of course, there has to be a reason.
Cancer cells exist in this country.
* * *
Kita.
It was once Japan’s leading conglomerate, which was ranked in the top 5 in the business world.
“Isn’t there something wrong?”
“No, lady. As you can see, it’s a certain quantity and amount that the boss also stamped on.”
It was also ranked among the best in the world.
There was almost no country in the world that did not know the brand Kitaya.
‘Suddenly ordering semiconductors three times as much? What the hell are you thinking?’
The present has collapsed.
He cut off all his limbs and survived on his own with electronic devices that were relatively healthy.
Even that is declining every year.
Not only exports but also domestic demand fell below the target.
“We can’t handle this amount. We can’t see a clear improvement in business conditions enough to stock up on the site. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to look into it again?”
“Your words are right too.”
“Yes, so…”
“But the president will not change his mind.”
In such a situation, the material order was tripled.
It’s not a normal change at all.
‘I know the scene best.’
Kitaya Kaede.
As a working-level manager of Kitaya Electric and the company’s heir, she can’t help but feel frustrated.
Kitaya Electric is now one of the common electronics companies.
The glories of the past are nowhere to be found.
Tou- Tou-
A triple order?
Not capable of digesting
I tried to convey the circumstances of the scene to my father and president, Kaisei.
“…”
“I was just passing it on, ma’am.”
“Okay mister. Go away.”
“Yes.”
Totally stubborn.
A single director cannot disobey the president’s orders.
‘There’s obviously a backstory I don’t know about.’
This situation.
It’s not something I’ve experienced once or twice.
In the past, too much investment has been a problem.
Business conditions will improve!
If you help me this time, I can survive!
They were subjected to tangible and intangible pressure from the outside.
The kind-hearted father believed it straight away.
This is the reason why global conglomerates suffered the humiliation of collapsing into mid-sized companies.
Todok, tok!
You can never be on your own.
At least the employees who are working with this company have to keep it.
‘I have no choice but to meet the person in charge.’
It may be a trick from the other company.
If that is the case, a different direction can be found through working-level negotiations.
Kaede contacts the parts company and finds it.
Those who are dispatched to do business with us.
‘Lee Chan-wook… It should be easy to communicate.’
She sets up a meeting with him.
