And like lots of other foreigners, Frey got wasabi'd.
It's a classic.

 

[hahano]

oh great, a muh japanese food is the best chapter that have 0 relevance to the story except the author being stuck on what to write

 

[Airzpool]

Too short. Not even 1 minute is needed to read this.

 

[deadrabbits]

yeah yeah japanese food sugoi fuck off.

 

[le3]

I love my isekai manga Japanese food chapter like my Japanese hentai

 

[AciAulia]

yeah that green stuff really pack of surprise

 

[galaxia9]

Ah yes, the mandatory chapter as dictated in law by the Japanese Tourist Board stating that Japanese food is far better than any slop any other country, real or fictional, could ever create. The small mercy was it was only one chapter, not an entire volume-long arc like some other manga.

 

[Clad95150]

Wow ! Who would thought about eating raw fish ?
What's the next breakthrough ? fresh fruits ?

 

[AMicrowave]

people complaining about japanese people saying their food is the best as if every country besides america doesn't also do that

 

[tekkenshu7]

Thanks for the new chapter!

I never thought I would get to see an entirely filler chapter like this

 

[BananowyJE]

Ah yes, the 1000x folded glorious soy sauce.
And RAW fish? My god, thank god that no other country with sea access ate it like that... Oh wait, they DID.
At least the heat of rice didn't cook the egg this chapter.

 

[Vanness]

why wasn't this an extra chapter?

 

[zephyroths]

It's really not isekai without this

 

[koga88]

Managed to make it over eighty chapters without worshiping Japanese food and only spending a single chapter on it? Quite a lot of restraint for an isekai manga.

 

[welcome2atlantis]

That happened to me when I first tasted wasabi.
Taste went up to my nostrils.
My little sister tricked me into eating too much of it. Remembering it makes me angry again.

 

[NotACatNinja]

And here I thought I finally escaped the "Superior Nippon Food" propaganda. I was wrong.

 

[myfoobz]

it's always funny when they first time eating Japanese food be like
"OOhhh my, this is the tastiest food ever. even this is my first time, tofu so good, soy sauce so goood"
like their tongue is Japanese tongue.

I've eating sushi, wasabi, soy sauce for the first time didn't react like that even I like japannese culture
it's just straight YUCK

different cases when I eat Pizza, straight YUMMY

There's a fine line between showing a bit of pride in your culture/nation's dishes and using said dishes as tools specifically to express their self-perceived superiority over others. I'd like to think most other cultures don't cross that line.

Not to mention this kind of thing rarely crosses over from in-person conversation to published fictional works... except in modern isekai.

And regardless of whether or not that's true, cultural grandstanding and posturing is always annoying because it's almost always obvious when it's being done. The author may not have went too egregious in this one – MC missing his homeland's dishes is not unreasonable – but we still have the uninitiated foreigners being instantly amazed and swayed over the moment the food enters their tastebuds as if they just consumed the nectar of the gods.

Kinda funny Charl knows all about Japanese food from being a weeb.
