Actually, you know where it does come up in American media? When vampires are involved. I can see cartoon characters breathing out garlic clouds to thwart the Scooby Doo vampires chasing them.

As someone who cooks with garlic, I know from experience that the smell can linger on your fingers for several days unless you're very VERY thorough with cleaning. Different people will have different levels of perceptiveness for it. I don't know if my colleagues ever notice the garlic on my...

Yup, the title is very puntastic. Had trouble figuring out how I should translate that before deciding to just not do a pun.

Generally yes. The problem with OPP though is that it can apparently permeate the skin of fruits, which is why it's usually used only on citrus fruits. They don't expect you to eat the rinds. They also don't know people use it for zest sometimes.

This might be one of those channels you can only find if you search in Japanese. Here you go:

Kariya sneakily revealing his process.

Sure. Understand though, that this information in revealed far into the series, so it's a pretty heavy spoiler.

I agree. I like it when a series doesn't feel like it needs to adhere so strictly to a canon world or whatever. Spin off to different times, different worlds, whatever might make the story fun. I also find it kind of telling that even in an Edo story, Kariya has to fall back to a rich, powerful...

For what it's worth, I don't believe what he's saying either, despite translating it. It feels like he's putting an entire country's worth of people under the bus for 'following the trend' instead of the more likely possibility that different cultures have different tastes. Oishinbo's world...

This would be around the point where we as readers should notice, there's a strange level of acceptance the other people have towards Kaibara. Do they not know what he did to his wife? Or is there perhaps more to the story we're not seeing because we're always looking from Yamaoka's perspective...

Yeah, it's a bit of a bold claim. Kariya seems to believe there's an objective 'good' flavor, and any personal preferences are just the person not awakening to that flavor yet.

I have never heard anyone call Yamaoka a magical girl before, but honestly? You're right.

The website was hit with a DMCA takedown request. Several people have already moved to other sites and abandoned Mangadex in response. For Oishinbo, we're gradually reuploading the previous chapters onto batoto. I will continue uploading the latest chapters on Mangadex as well, but it's...

Currently, I'm uploading on Batoto, though it's not up to where the Mangadex chapters were yet. I figured I could use this chance to update the fonts for my older chapters. I haven't heard of Weeb Central. I'll give it a look.

Well, this is alarming. So the whole site has been hit with a DMCA notice, and Oishinbo is one of the series affected. Earlier chapters have been removed, but later uploads seem to still be available to read. The cutoff date appears to be 2 months ago. I will continue to upload following my...

And so it begins. The Ultimate VS The Supreme. This first chapter doesn't have any foods showcased so there's no Gourmet Notes to add, but I would like to point out a bit of Trivia. This chapter introduces us to Teito's Director of Fine Arts and Literature, the equivalent to Tozai's Director of...

I'm back from vacation. Thanks for waiting, I'll be back to my regular upload schedule hereon.

I don't have a proper answer to the Jonathan apple's decline, but I do have a guess. The Jonathan seems to be used as a base for other apple cultivars and hybrids, like the Jonagold. I suspect the apple on its own did not have the most desirable flavour, and it's the later hybrids that took the...

I will be going on vacation next week, which means I will not be able to upload for a while. I will be uploading extra to compensate, the upload schedule I've planned is as follows: Wednesday (23 Apr): 3 Chapters Sunday (27 Apr): Break Wednesday (30 Apr): Break Sunday (4 May): 3 Chapters And...

That might just be taste preference then. I tend to prefer if sea urchin tastes strongly of the sea. I've had a few sea urchin sushi where the sea urchin barely tasted of anything, which was disappointing. Curiously, I've never seen sea urchin served cooked before. I think I'd still prefer the...
