Diner.
As the name suggests, a diner offers fixed meals, similar to bento or boxed meals, which can be understood as set menus.
Generally, it depends on how many different set menus can be offered to diners.
Therefore, when Jōichirō Yukihira and Sōma Yukihira were running the Yukihira Diner, they would usually write a fixed menu every day, allowing customers to order within those categories.
This business philosophy was naturally completely different from Sosuke's Izakaya, where customers could order anything they wanted!
Of course.
The Yukihira Diner also focused on cheap and generous portions.
It didn't pay much attention to taste, mostly offering simple dishes, though occasionally there would be a few surprisingly delicious meals.
…
"Time really flies."
"Before I knew it, the diner has been closed for almost a month!"
This cozy Izakaya made Jōichirō Yukihira recall his time with Sōma at the Yukihira Diner.
And this time, temporarily returning to Totsuki, he had actually considered reopening the diner for a few days, so that familiar customers nearby could taste his cooking again!
But in the end, he chose to give up.
The reason for giving up was that he understood that in the future, the true fate of the diner would only be decided by his son:
Yukihira Sōma!
"Ah, youth is truly wonderful."
"My era, after all, has passed!"
Looking at the busy figure, Jōichirō Yukihira could only sigh deeply.
Afterward, he consciously took out money and said to Sosuke, "Shopkeeper, meeting you tonight has been a pleasure in life. It's a pity I still have things to attend to, so I must leave first!"
"Senior, I already said this meal is on me."
Beside them, Isshiki Satoshi saw Jōichirō Yukihira offering to pay and quickly stood up in surprise, also taking out money and handing it to Sosuke.
Seeing the two piles of money, Sosuke wisely took half from each and replied, "Take care. Come again when you have time."
"Thank you for the hospitality, Shopkeeper. I will come again!"
At this moment, Jōichirō Yukihira showed a slight smile when he saw Sosuke accept the money.
Although deep down, he still had many things he wanted to say to Sosuke, and even had an urge to have a culinary Shokugeki with him.
But this return to Totsuki Culinary Academy was not just to catch up with Oomido Fumio, nor was it for his son's sake; he had other objectives.
Therefore, he couldn't stay here too long tonight and had to leave in a hurry with Isshiki Satoshi.
And watching Jōichirō Yukihira's increasingly blurred figure, Sosuke here turned to look at the empty plate on the table, finally choosing to remain silent!
It wasn't until a good while later.
That he collected the plate and turned to attend to other customers!
…
Late at night, the Izakaya closed its doors again.
Some familiar customers, such as Erina, Alice, Tadokoro Megumi, and others, certainly wouldn't be coming to the Izakaya for a while.
"I say, it's already 12 o'clock. Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Sosuke could only ask helplessly, looking at the last customer, Kobayashi Rindo, who hadn't left.
"Hungry!"
"I'm still very hungry!"
Kobayashi Rindo said, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"The lion's head meatballs I made were extra-large, 8 centimeters in diameter. That's still not enough for you?"
Hearing this, Sosuke's lips curled slightly as he gave a wry smile.
"Only 5, and just one extra bowl of rice."
"You know my appetite. How could that little bit be enough for me?"
