Description

Follow journalist Yamaoka Shiro on a rich culinary adventure as he hunts for the "Ultimate Menu." To commemorate its 100th anniversary, the editors of Tozai Shimbun devise a plan to publish the "Ultimate Menu." The assignment goes to journalist Yamaoka Shiro, the series' protagonist. With the help of his coworker Kurita Yuko, Yamaoka embarks on an epic quest to select the dishes that will comprise the "Ultimate Menu." Volume 1 focuses on Nihon ryōri (Japanese cuisine), featuring stories on topics such as how to prepare dashi (the foundational broth of Japanese cooking), matcha (the powdered green tea used in tea ceremonies), and red snapper sashimi. The later volumes cover: 2) sake, 3) fish, 4) vegetables, 5) rice dishes, 6) udon, and 7) izakaya or "pub" food.
