Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - A Quite Don, an Eloquent Don - full transcript
Mito Ikumi and Yukihira Soma go head to head at the Shokugeki! Ikumi, known as "the Meat Master", seems to have the whole crowd on his side. In order to save the Don RS, Soma has to prove himself a worthy opponent.
Not much different, huh?
No, that's not it.
Still not quite right...
I've gotta give it my all today.
Let's go with this one!
HE'LL BE FACING THAT CHAMPION OF THE
FLESH, "THE MEAT MASTER" IKUMI MITO.
Hey, did you hear about today's Food War?
THE SILENT BOWL, THE ELOQUENT BOWL
Yeah, it's Nikumi vs. Bowl-Soc, right?
You gotta feel sorry for Bowl-Soc.
Erina Nakiri has it out for them.
Yo, have you read the Tohtsuki Sports?
It says there's a different competitor.
Look! Now it's that
uppity transfer student,
Soma Yukihira!
Here are the tools and ingredients
you'll need for the battle.
I got everything you asked for.
Nice.
Thank you, Konishi-san!
Did you get any sleep, Yukihira?
Uh...
When we were done,
I tweaked the sauce a little bit.
WAITING ROOM
I slept about two hours, I guess.
So many people!
So-- Soma-kun, y--
you can't go losing your nerve!
D-- don't lose your nerve!
A-- at times like this, write the
character for "person" on your palm.
-Just write it!
-Yeah, yeah...
For starters, just calm
yourself, Tadokoro. Okay?
Huh?
You're not scared?
Even when you have to cook
with all those people watching?
Not at all.
I mean,
compared to standing in front of customers
with our restaurant's name on the line,
this ain't scary at all.
SATOSHI ISSHIKI ROOM NO. 206
7TH SEAT ON THE TEN
If I beat you, will I be
the new Tohtsuki No. 7?
Sorry for the wait!
The Food War Administrative Bureau
has officially recognized
this challenge as a Food War!
FOOD WAR
I'll be your emcee.
I'm Urara Kawashima,
a first-year in the high school division!
CUTESY
Your cuteness is unmatched, Urara-chan!
Okay!
Cutesy!
Cutesy!
Now then, from their respective corners,
here come the contestants!
The first to arrive is...
IKUMI MITO
The Meat Master, Ikumi Mito!
Don't go flaunting those big teats
of yours, you Holstein cow!
I'm all the boys need
to get them worked up.
Now then, next up is...
SOMA YUKIHIRA
Go to Hell!
You've got some nerve!
You friggin' transfer student!
You sure talked some crap
at the opening ceremony!
The transfer student who's
been garnering rave reviews,
Soma Yukihira-kun!
If he's facin' Mito,
I already know who's gonna win.
Yeah, there's no way I'm gonna miss
seeing him get expelled from the Academy.
Hey, come on, what's
with all these people?
I won't never forget.
Back when I battled
the Standing-While-Eating-Soba
Research Society in a Food War,
there was no emcee, not even an audience!
The only ones there were stray dogs
drawn by the scent of food.
So then, what's with all this racket?
You barely transferred
in this spring, right?
What'd you do to make
them hate you so much?
Uh, I haven't done anything
out of the ordinary.
DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE STRENGTH
TO CRACK A JOKE.
SOMA YUKIHIRA
IKUMI MITO
And now, a quick review.
We have three judges.
The theme is "rice bowls."
And the main ingredient is...
meat!
If Mito-san wins,
the Rice Bowl Research Society
will be disbanded,
and Yukihira-kun will leave the academy.
If Yukihira-kun wins,
"Bowl-Soc" will get more funding
and additional cooking facilities.
What's more...
Mito-san will become a member of Bowl-Soc!
Yo, transfer student.
This will be the last day I speak to you.
If you've got any last words,
now's the time.
Really?
I think we'll have plenty of time to talk
once you're a member of Bowl-Soc.
Look, over there!
It's Erina Nakiri.
Erina-sama!
Erina-sama...
Whoa, for real?
But why?
A member of the Ten,
showing up for a Food War with
some small-timer like Bowl-Soc?
Probably because Mito
is part of Erina Nakiri's faction.
Really?
That's the only reason?
Well, Yukihira-kun,
I'm looking forward to this.
Watching you suffer
humiliating defeat, that is.
Erina-sama came to watch in person?
All right, let's begin!
Both of you, to your cooking stations.
The loser will lose everything.
This battle will be decided by the palate!
Let the Food War...
Begin!
FOOD
WAR
FOOD WAR
Hey, transfer student.
Let me show you the kind of ingredient
a pissant like you will never get to use.
This is...
the ultimate meat!
I knew she'd bring that out!
It's A5-ranked beef!
That's a butcher's cleaver.
She's using that big blade to
slice off cuts with precision!
Her strength is incredible!
I ain't never seen marbling
as fine as that!
MARBLING
Both the meat and the fat
have incredible luster!
Good girl...
The subtle sweetness
of it tickles the nose...
As meat is smoked,
flavor components like
glutamic acid are increased,
and it starts to emit a sweet smell.
This is the ultimate meat,
and it will be cooked by
the ultimate hands, mine.
First, fry it to give
the surface some color.
Scoop up butter and pour
it over the meat's surface.
The scent of butter is wafting
through the whole building!
The scent alone will make you hungry!
This process creates a "barrier"
that traps the meat's juices.
Next...
It goes into the oven!
This will apply heat
to the meat's interior.
Now then...
What about the transfer student?
Meanwhile, as for Yukihira-kun's dish...
It seems he's dicing a lot of onions, huh?
Just how does he plan to use them?
It looks like he's bringing out the meat!
So, how will it stack up
to Mito-san's A5 beef?
IT'S CHEAP!!
SUPER-CHEAP SUPERMARKET
JAPANESE SIRLOIN STEAK
HALF-PRICE 700 YEN
I-- it was on sale?
Half-price?
Huh?
HEH
I happened to get it on sale.
Talk about lucky!
-Dammit!
-Don't screw with us!
Stop! Please don't throw things!
Is Yukihira really gonna be okay?
Give it up already.
Use the time you have left
to go pack your things.
Do you know what it is...
that bolsters her cooking?
Aside from the cut itself,
is it the power she has
to treat it properly?
Correct.
But her true worth is
actually the delicacy...
the sensibility she brings to bear.
64...
No, 65 degrees Celsius.
Okay.
The lips are the most sensitive
part of the human body.
That being said,
when it comes to sensing temperature,
hers have a whole different
level of precision.
When Ikumi Mito touches meat,
her sensibilities come
even further to the fore.
True enough...
Look closely.
See how her fingertips caress the meat.
Like a pianist playing an elegant solo.
Like a silent melody for the heavens,
a sonata of meat.
I will give Erina-sama a victory!
What, you're still here, transfer student?
You've gotten pretty quiet, haven't you?
What happened to that attitude
from three days ago?
Well, say something.
How pitiful.
I don't gotta say anything.
'Cause in a little bit,
my rice bowl will start talking,
and eloquently, too.
Also,
it's common knowledge that you can't trust
a chef who talks too much in the kitchen.
A-- are you mocking me, dammit?
Just what is he...
Okay, it's almost time!
And we're done!
TIME OVER
My favorite books: fairy tales.
*SHE'S NEVER ACTUALLY READ ANY.
I love romance movies, too.
*THE TRUTH IS, SHE LIKES KUNG FU MOVIES.

is to be someone's bride!
JUDGMENT
We will now begin judgment.
First up, Mito-san's dish.
This is an A5 Wagyu rôti rice bowl.
Rôti is French for "roast" or "broil."
Lots of times, it's used to mean food
that's been cooked in an oven, y'know!
SHIGENO KURAKI
PRESIDENT, "KURAKI" JAPANESE RESTAURANTS
The meat has been cut so
that it resembles a flower.
I never dreamed I'd set eyes on
a rice bowl of such beauty.
Well then, let's eat.
It's too delicious!
I'm getting weak-kneed!
This!
This profound depth
of flavor is truly A5-grade.
YOSHIKI BITO
KUROGE WAGYU BEEF CRITIC
When preparing this meat, even the angle
of heat was taken into consideration.
When flame is applied at a right angle
to the fiber direction,
the meat is heated uniformly
and the juices run freely.
Even taking the meat's fiber into account
is the mark of a master chef!
And beneath these "petals"...
KATSUNORI OKAMOTO
PRODUCER, TV SHOW "THE GOURMET GLUTTON"
This garlic rice was cooked in butter
and beef fat, and it's exquisite!
I could eat three bowls
of this rice alone!
The way this dish was made,
you could even call it sensuous!
The execution is simply incredible!
What do you think, transfer student?
This is the pleasure of the flesh!
Well, it's settled.
I can't wait to see the look on that
transfer student's face when he loses.
This doesn't look good.
It's like Mito-san has already won!
Next, Yukihira-kun's dish
is up for judging.
By the way, what rice bowl is this?
Oh, well...
To give it a name:
"Yukihira-Style
Chaliapin Steak Rice Bowl."
"Chaliapin Steak"?
So you used onions to make
cheap meat tender, huh?
Still, after what we've just eaten...
True enough.
I'd like to go home still basking
in the glow of that A5 meat.
W-- well, it does seem
more delicious than I'd imagined.
Shall we have some?
He couldn't use such cheap meat
to make anything worth-
Why? My h-- hand won't stop moving!
The meat is so tender, but also...
The sauce!
This special sauce is infused with minced
onion and really whets the appetite!
What is this?
Such depth of flavor...
After the steak was cooked,
the frying pan was deglazed with red wine!
He simmered the remaining meat juices,
then used that to fry the onions!
Then he added cornstarch
to make it smooth,
and the way it melts with
the meat and the rice...
I can't stand it!
The flavors are rounded out by
mirin-infused soy sauce
and the browning of the rice itself,
giving it a depth of flavor!
Yes!
Yukihira!
Onions are essential to Chaliapin Steak,
but it seems he tweaked their preparation,
as well as the sauce.
Still, is that really all there is to it?
Sauce is just sauce.
It's no match for my top-quality meat!
The meat and the sauce
are both full of flavor,
but the more I eat, the hungrier I get!
True enough.
I feel like I could eat this forever!
This touch of acidity...
Could it be...
Yup!
The key lies in the rice.
The rice?
The rice in that bowl was mixed with
homemade pickled plum paste.
It's a refreshing pickled plum rice!
I knew it!
This refreshing taste that
leaves you wanting more...
It's pickled plum!
The steak is light and fluffy,
and full of flavor.
That thick sauce is just exquisite!
And the pickled plum in the rice
is so light and brisk!
The deliciousness of each...
elevates the other!
We can't help but scarf it down!
Shredded plums?
That was enough?
He may have tweaked things a bit,
but his ingredients were all cheap!
Oh, no, I already ate it all!
Is there more? Can we get more?
The rôti rice bowl was excellent as well,
but my chopsticks move
more toward this bowl.
What was that?
Wh-- what about my garlic rice?
They didn't finish it!
Yup...
I thought about what
to do with the rice...
After I heard from Konishi-san that you'd
probably use marbled beef, that is.
If you use bold seasonings in the rice,
of course it will clash
with the flavor of the beef.
Your dish may look like
a rice bowl, but it ain't.
Like the head of Bowl-Soc said:
Meals should be encapsulated
in a single bowl.
Shut up!
This argument is pointless.
With my top-quality meat,
there's no way you could--
If you don't get it,
you wanna give it a listen?
Hear what my rice bowl has to say.
Order up.
He's right.
This rice bowl does speak to you.
It says, "Eat me as fast as you can!"
Happy ninth birthday, Ikumi.
Thank you so much, Mother!
Dear, please stop!
Shut up!
The successor to the Mito family
has no need for such niceties!
Listen closely, Ikumi.
Your sole focus should
be on getting stronger.
Got it?
Dammit! Why'd I have to go
remembering something like that?
It's because of this rice bowl.
It's whispering to me,
saying it's okay to do what I want.
That it's okay to be myself!
Dammit...
Dammit!

Believe it or not,

You're welcome!
Soma-kun, you're incredible!
He friggin' did it!
Yukihira!
I lost...
Me, I lost.
Erina-sama!
Clear out the cooking room I gave her.
Understood.
Yo, Nikumi.
Lemme eat a little more of your rice bowl.
Don't push me, dammit!
Stop using that nickname!
Why not?
It's pretty cute when
it's written in hiragana.
NIKUMI
Wh-- what?
I look forward to working
with you, Nikumi-chan!
B-DMP!
Wh-- what are you saying?
You dumbass!
Be sure to come by the clubroom later.
Yukihira...
You really are a hell of a guy.
You're the only one that
can keep Bowl-Soc afloat.
You're the next Don of Bowl-Soc!
THE DON OF BOWL-SOC

I-- I'm coming in.
Oh, Mito, you came!
Y-- yes.
S-- so, Yukihira isn't here yet, huh?
He told me to come by,
so I didn't have much choice.
Um, about that...
Huh?
Nah, I'm not joining your club.
I mean, all I wanted
to do was check it out.
Still, thanks to that,
I've built up a new menu of rice bowls
I'd like to try at the restaurant one day.
Well, thanks for everything.
I'll stop by once in a while!
So, that's that.
Still, we have more funds now,
so let's work together
to build up Bowl-Soc!
You're the only one that
can keep Bowl-Soc afloat.
You're the next Don of Bowl-Soc!
THE DON OF BOWL-SOC
Nikumi...
Shut the hell up!
Don't call me "Nikumi"!
Since that day,
Ikumi Mito-san seems to have
become even more violent.

you wanna give it a listen?
Hear what my rice bowl has to say.
Order up.
He's right.
This rice bowl does speak to you.
It says, "Eat me as fast as you can!"
Happy ninth birthday, Ikumi.
Thank you so much, Mother!
Dear, please stop!
Shut up!
The successor to the Mito family
has no need for such niceties!
Listen closely, Ikumi.
Your sole focus should
be on getting stronger.
Got it?
Dammit! Why'd I have to go
remembering something like that?
It's because of this rice bowl.
It's whispering to me,
saying it's okay to do what I want.
That it's okay to be myself!
Dammit...
Dammit!

SOMA YUKIHIRA
Believe it or not,
the winner is Soma Yukihira!
You're welcome!
Soma-kun, you're incredible!
He friggin' did it!
Yukihira!
I lost...
Me, I lost.
Erina-sama!
Clear out the cooking room I gave her.
Understood.
Yo, Nikumi.
Lemme eat a little more of your rice bowl.
Don't push me, dammit!
Stop using that nickname!
Why not?
It's pretty cute when
it's written in hiragana.
NIKUMI
Wh-- what?
I look forward to working
with you, Nikumi-chan!
B-DMP!
Wh-- what are you saying?
You dumbass!
Be sure to come by the clubroom later.
Yukihira...
You really are a hell of a guy.
You're the only one that
can keep Bowl-Soc afloat.
You're the next Don of Bowl-Soc!
THE DON OF BOWL-SOC
Yukihira!

RICE BOWL RESEARCH SOCIETY
Pretty cute!
I-- I'm coming in.
Oh, Mito, you came!
Y-- yes.
S-- so, Yukihira isn't here yet, huh?
He told me to come by,
so I didn't have much choice.
Um, about that...
Huh?
Nah, I'm not joining your club.
I mean, all I wanted
to do was check it out.
Still, thanks to that,
I've built up a new menu of rice bowls
I'd like to try at the restaurant one day.
Well, thanks for everything.
I'll stop by once in a while!
So, that's that.
Still, we have more funds now,
so let's work together
to build up Bowl-Soc!
You're the only one that
can keep Bowl-Soc afloat.
You're the next Don of Bowl-Soc!

Nikumi...
Shut the hell up!
Don't call me "Nikumi"!
Since that day,
Ikumi Mito-san seems to have
become even more violent.
