    Oishinbo - Vol. 31 Ch. 285 - The Ultimate Vs. The Supreme: The Hotpot Showdown!! (Part 1)

    We've always had ham at Christmas and turkey at Thanksgiving in my family. Are there any other traditional Chinese meals for New Year's? Like, yeah, some families do hotpot, but some do something else?

    Letting everyone know here that I won’t have time to upload the next chapter until tomorrow. Weekends are always hard times to work on it. I’m about half done with it.

    I always thought that the Japanese loved good bread. Like especially pastries, but I’ve seen hundreds of Japanese videos where the person is eating something with bread. Remember way, way back early in the manga there was a chapter where Iteyama’s department store, I think was somehow able to...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 36 Ch. 329 - New Year's Duck Nanban

    Kurita and Tanimura certainly seemed concerned for him personally. Ohara and Koizumi seemed concerned about how it affects the project. Tomii… Well, Tomii is a douchebag.
