As a former Totsuki Academy genius, Nakamura Azami's relationship with Totsuki Academy has always been delicate.
The Nakiri family, who believe in an "elite education" system, might also follow the rule of "the capable one inherits" when it comes to succession!
Of course, there's another possibility: Nekiri Sōei, the General's biological son who also possesses the main family's bloodline, might have voluntarily given up the "heir" status.
But!
No matter what,
There's an undeniable condition: although the God Tongue talent is a tragic curse for its host, for the Nakiri family, it is clearly a unique existence, and possessing this title represents the family's "honor."
Therefore, due to various reasons, the Nakiri succession ultimately fell to the "branch family" represented by Erina's mother.
...
In fact, in Japan, what is truly valued is not bloodline, but the surname!
Sometimes, when facing a situation with no successor, adopted sons, adopted sons-in-law, sons-in-law, grandsons-in-law, and so on, can become heirs.
So it's not hard to infer that for a period, the General must have thought highly of Nakamura Azami.
He wanted him to marry into the Nakiri family and hoped he would succeed him as General, leading the entire Totsuki Academy!
Later, as everyone knows, due to his "extreme" education of Erina, he completely disappointed the General and was thus expelled from Totsuki Academy.
Even all information about him was officially erased, completely vanishing into the dust of history, as if he had never existed in the entire Totsuki Academy!
However, in the original plot, Nakiri Azami eventually regained the General's position in a way no one expected.
The reason he was able to successfully seize power was certainly due to the unresolved conflicts and internal issues among the Far Moon students, which led to the Elite Ten collectively defecting at the most crucial moment!
But everyone also knew that the most fundamental reason was that the Nakiri family truly had no successor.
Actually, initially, a person as old as the General should have retired.
But why did he insist on remaining as General? It wasn't because he was greedy for power, but because after he retired, with Erina's current strength, she still couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of the entire family and Totsuki Academy!
However, on the other hand, Totsuki's current situation required a talented person to lead Totsuki again and make changes!
Therefore, the appearance of Nakiri Azami gave everyone a glimmer of hope.
Of course, barring any unforeseen circumstances, even if Nakiri Azami seized power and stabilized his position as General, Erina would still be the best candidate for successor!
But if, in the future, one could become the General's grandson-in-law and Erina's husband, there would also be an opportunity to inherit the entire Nakiri family's assets and resources.
Thinking of this, Gin Dojima's heart inevitably became a bit complicated.
However, there are still many uncertain factors regarding Sosuke leading Totsuki, and this is also an internal matter of the General's family.
As an outsider, even if he had some thoughts, it would be inappropriate to bring them up in front of the General.
Alas!
Perhaps.
In the near future, not only the entire culinary world, but even Japan's number one Totsuki Culinary Academy, will undergo a complete change!
...
Miso Ramen is one of Japan's traditional delicacies, and it represents the essence of Japan's culinary culture!
Every time you taste this dish, you can not only feel the rich Japan flavor and cultural atmosphere but also experience the Japanese people's pursuit of delicious food and respect for tradition.
At this moment, some minced meat is used, along with bean sprouts, onions, minced garlic, and red ginger.
Finally, a layer of cooked noodles is laid at the bottom of the bowl, and the side dishes mentioned above are added.
The well-simmered miso soup base is poured in until the broth just covers the noodles.
Hmm!
How to put it?
On a cold and quiet night at Polar Star Dormitory,
If one could eat such a steaming bowl of miso Ramen, it would indeed be a kind of happiness!
"Alright, Oomido Fumio."
"This is my creation, Yukihira Style, Second Revision, Super Invincible Delicious Miso Ramen!"
Yukihira Sōma, who had just made miso Ramen using some ingredients from the kitchen, quickly pulled off his cloth towel.
Then, in front of Oomido Fumio, he announced the overly dramatic name of the dish, full of chuunibyou flair, and eagerly awaited the upcoming judging.
"Miso Ramen is miso Ramen, why all the extra talk?"
Seeing Yukihira Sōma like this, Fumio was a bit speechless.
However, thinking that he could actually make a bowl of miso Ramen on the spot with the few remaining ingredients in the kitchen, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Compared to other miso Ramen, this bowl of miso Ramen, once fully mixed, had a salty taste with a sweet aftertaste, especially that dollop of minced ginger, which was a stroke of genius!
"This boy, it seems he might pass my trial on his first try!"
Muttering to herself, Oomido Fumio quickly composed herself, then immediately scooped a spoonful of rich broth with a small spoon and gently drank it.
...
One sip of soup down,
Immediately, you could tell its flavor was exceptionally rich.
This miso soup base was not the traditional boiling water and salt; instead, it was made by simmering seafood like kombu, chicken, and pork bones to extract the broth, then filtering out all impurities and seasoning only with salt!
Even just one sip gave you that full, collagen-rich sensation.
In fact,
It's no exaggeration to say,
If you accidentally got a little soup on your hand, your hand would still feel sticky afterward!
But drinking such a rich broth, you surprisingly didn't feel any meaty smell or a cloying, greasy sensation; on the contrary, it had a particularly comfortable feeling!
"Black garlic? Although it's not very obvious, it should have black garlic, right?"
Finally, Oomido Fumio, after swallowing and a careful analysis, quickly thought of something.
So-called black garlic is actually a type of fermented garlic. Because it has lost the pungent kick of fresh garlic, the garlic aroma it emits becomes much softer.
At the same time, due to the Maillard reaction, the water and fat content in black garlic decrease, but the sugar and trace elements significantly increase.
Experimental data shows that the polyphenol content in black garlic increased by 10 times!
"Seasoning."
"Sometimes, it's just that magical."
"Even a tiny bit of seasoning, even black garlic, which is considered a dark ingredient, can play a crucial role in a bowl of Ramen."
"This Japan miso Ramen is indeed one of the few Ramen dishes I've eaten in my life that deserves recognition!"
With that, Oomido Fumio looked at Yukihira Sōma with increased admiration.
