is it cause he left the meat and shell in the soup? going off chapter title alone, ingredients left in soup would "muddy" the clear soup appearance :thonk:

I'm not sure... But we'll find out!

However, when it comes to the chapter title, as a side note, take it with a grain of salt, because I can't read kanji at all and I did use four different translation apps to try and figure out what it meant because the initial translation was not successful... I can only partially read hiragana and a smidge of katakana characters, but kanji is totally outside of what I've learned... So, just don't take too much stock of the chapter title...

My guess is that the soup needs further clarification.

I'm still a beginner at Japanese, but i think the kanji meanings are:
椀方(わんかた)(wankata) - chef responsible for preparing the bowl items on the menu.
試験 (しけん) (shiken) - exam, test

My guess would be because of where the clams grew? Cus I think shellfish taste really depends on the environment they come from. Shijimi being brackish water clams myb those came from more muddy water, so like freshwater fish they lean towards earthy than fishy if that makes sense

Maybe,

Shellfish absorb their surrounding environment well.

Thats why there are some people adverse to it as they are "pollutant absorber"

The best way to minimize errors is to extract the Japanese text first and then manually look each word on dictionaries (both English and Japanese ones).
