Halloween Party at Tres Spades
The theme of the off-line meeting of the KING7 at Eisuke Ichinomiya's hotel "Tres Spades" was "Let's cook a Halloween dinner" since it was October. When we arrived at the kitchen in the penthouse, everyone was shocked to see all the high quality ingredients. Ichinomiya-san was in charge of procuring the ingredients. It seemed like he was reluctant to use the penthouse as a venue for an off-line meeting, but he showed us great hospitality. The food was prepared by the curry team of Kasumi, Kaga, and Namba, and the fish and sweets team of Momochi, Shinonome, and Tsugaru. Ichinomiya-san was our supervisor.
When Kaga-san saw the Chateaubriand getting prepared, he said, "I want to cook it in my own way." Kasumi dismissed the idea, saying it was not very artistic, so they made beef cutlet curry instead. Kaga-san had a stern look on his face, but he reluctantly cut the carrots into star and penguin shapes under Kasumi's instruction, and arranged the rice in a cute way... He was working hard for Namba-san with this excellent handiwork. I wondered if he had ever done this before. I'm so proud of Kasumi for leading everyone to the best results no matter who he works with!
Tsugaru-san seems to have been shut out of the cuisine team for his creative cooking, so he came to mess with us instead. I'm not going to let Kasumi's curry be turned into a carbonated oshiruko kimchi cutlet curry. Namba-san, who was too lazy to do anything else, went to decorate the room. "He set up a garland on the wall while struggling with his back, saying, "This angle hurts my back. The angle of the garland is okay as it is, isn't it?" I wanted to put up a proper garland for Kasumi's gaze, so it was hard to fix the misaligned part.
At the same time, the fish and sweets team was elegantly cooking with a variety of ingredients and utensils. Momochi-san flambéed the white fish and decorated the plate with roseshaped bacon and sliced potatoes. Shinonome's fluffy pancakes fluttered lightly in the air and were topped with marron cream. The two give each other high-level advice and have a surprisingly good relationship. Their stylish dishes and sweets, which are also delicious to the eyes, have now been completed.
Mr. Ichinomiya, who was brought here by Mr. Tsugaru, also took a bite and said, "...Not bad." This word is almost synonymous with a Michelin certification. Incidentally, Kasumi-san also praised them for their handiwork. You know, you're not so bad at your job either. I complimented them on their work, too.
The finished dish was a cutlet curry with cute penguin-shaped rice, white fish meuniere, pumpkin potage, and Mont Blanc pancakes. Namba-san ate the penguin curry before anyone else, saying how good it was, and Kasumi-san looked ......... happy. I'm glad to see his smile. Well, I can have "Sentaro's curry" made for me anytime. I think everyone in KING7 is so lucky to be able to eat Kasumi's curry.
On the other hand, Momochi and Shinonome, who drank the pumpkin potage, had something happening to them! The two left their seats, holding their mouths. Meanwhile, Tsugaru-san was eating the potage, enjoying the delicious taste. It seems that Tsugaru-san, who has a unique palate, distracted them and put three secret ingredients in the pot.
I managed to protect the penguin curry, Kasumi-san! It was actually a desperate battle with Tsugaru-san. I'm sorry, Momochi-san and Shinonome-san. I was only able to protect Kasumi's curry. I'll never forget the look of disappointment on Shinonome's face. Momochi-san didn't come back from the bathroom until the very end, so I hope he's doing okay. Please take care of yourself.
