Chapter 223 Spoiler Pics Later
Although Kuga is already at an advanced stage with his cooking, the rebels realize he still hasn’t touched the green tea yet. In contrast, on Tsukasa’s dining table, there are 4 different types of Tea Leaves.
Marui’s explanation: He explains that there are different definitions of green tea and the ways to get the best out of the green tea is diverse too.
After you pick up the leaves from the green tea, you deal with the heat, which stops the movement of the Oxidizing enzyme, meaning it basically becomes a non-fermented tea.
Tsukasa manages to deal with the different leaves (Sencha, Gyokucha, Genmaicha, and Fukamushicha) to perfection by using different temperatures and different timings to take out each leaf.
Tsukasa warns Kuga who is focusing on the Chinese hot pot.
Tsukasa: It’s not bad to be stubborn with one method, but I’ve been thinking this about you for some time, and I think it’s a bad habit to be trapped in your own field. Green tea...Aren’t you thinking about the Japanese tea as some kind of bonus? To get the best out of theme, it sometimes means you have to restrict yourself. By being captured in one style, it means that you can’t discover new flavors. It’s not like I’m not acknowledging your passion…But you know, if you continue to be so stubborn with your style, you will never win against me.
Mimasaka: I am not too sure about that?
Mimasaka throws a bin filled with a black liquid. And from that bin, Kuga takes out the leaves.
Kuga: Good job Mimasaka chin!
Mimasaka was tracing Kuga.
Mimasaka: Chori Chori Chorisuu (This phrase doesn’t really have a meaning but Kuga likes to use it often in a manner of greeting someone) I am Terunori Kuga~! Today, I will finally show it the Tsukassan who I hate so much.
Kuga: Yeah seriously, stop it. But Thank you!
Erina: (Now show it to them, the regiment of the rebels!)
