He could utilize various traditional cooking techniques of the Celestial Dynasty, such as:
Boiling.
Frying.
Baking.
Roasting.
Stewing.
...
This way,
The texture and taste of the sea bream would naturally become richer and more diverse.
At the same time, he cleverly used various characteristic seasonings of the Celestial Dynasty, such as sauces made from Sichuan peppercorns and dried chili peppers, mayonnaise, bean paste, sweet bean paste, and so on!
Without exaggeration, this True Sea Bream Continent Map dish encompasses the proud flavors from all corners of the Celestial Dynasty: north, south, west, and east.
The savory taste of the North.
The sweet and sour taste of the South.
The spicy taste of the West.
The light taste of the East.
These unique flavor combinations
Not only allowed Jōichirō to taste the culinary specialties from all over the Celestial Dynasty but also to experience the innovative spirit and culinary talent of Sosuke!
...
Gradually, Jōichirō slowly closed his eyes.
If the feeling brought by the first bite made him feel as if he had traveled back in time,
Then, now, his mood was even more complex, even more unsettled!
In his mind, a bustling and prosperous cityscape of the Magic City slowly began to appear.
Tall buildings everywhere, a modern atmosphere everywhere, the rapid pace of development was evident, and the innovative and open character of the city was also fully displayed in the scene.
Especially the Oriental Pearl Tower, pointing straight to the sky.
Like a shining star, illuminating the entire Magic City, and also illuminating a new chapter in the history of the Celestial Dynasty!
Afterward, the scene suddenly shifted, arriving at the picturesque scenery of Shu Land with its clear waters and green mountains.
There were giant pandas, difficult Shu roads that seemed to reach the sky, mountains, water, and emotions.
And the unique scenery naturally brought a different state of mind!
Next, there was a harbor.
As the new sun slowly rose, it sprinkled upon the sea, appearing sparkling and glittering with golden light.
It gradually merged with the distant islands and fishing boats, forming a beautiful painting.
"How could this dish be..."
Coming back to his senses, Jōichirō Yukihira's face suddenly filled with astonishment.
Although the images in his mind had dissipated, his heart remained restless.
...
Unlike his youthful brilliance,
Jōichirō now rarely groomed himself, appearing somewhat disheveled.
But it cannot be denied that among the many students of the 69th class of Totsuki Culinary Academy, he was absolutely a monster who surpassed all others!
At that time, he held the Second Seat, second only to Gin Dojima in the Elite Ten seats.
However, those familiar with the rules for selecting the Elite Ten know that while the ranking of the Totsuki Elite Ten seats is mainly based on the student's culinary skills, it is not entirely dependent on it.
It also depends on the student's academic performance and contributions to Totsuki Culinary Academy.
In other words,
Jōichirō's culinary skills were unrivaled throughout Totsuki at that time.
But he had some issues with his conduct, often being late for school and skipping classes.
Especially after becoming one of the Elite Ten, he completely slacked off, not taking many tasks seriously, often neglecting them, and even liked to use Dark Cuisine to bully his juniors!
Moreover, when facing provocations from minor characters,
He even dared to serve newly developed Dark Cuisine to the judges, often losing in Shokugeki matches as a result!
Under the influence of various factors, he could only settle for the Second Seat.
But even with many negative aspects, he still earned the respect and admiration of a group of geniuses like Gin Dojima and Azami Nakamura.
After all, strong individuals always cherish each other. Jōichirō's greatest strength lay in his ability to create unprecedented dishes using almost impossible methods.
This innate, boundless imagination for cooking was destined to lead him to extraordinary achievements in his later life.
In fact, this was indeed the case.
At that time, in THE BLUE world-class chef competition organized by the WGO Gourmet Organization,
He and Gin Dojima had both secured pre-selected spots through their skills, but this aroused the covetousness and dissatisfaction of many.
Finally, the young master representing the "Sawatsubashi" family led his accomplices to corner Jōichirō.
In desperation, he could only agree to resolve the issue using the Shokugeki rules.
The result surprised everyone: he single-handedly crushed 50 opponents in the "Regimental Shokugeki" competition, defeating them so thoroughly that they became reclusive.
