A personal favorite chapter of mine. This is one of Kurita's greatest and most famous feats in the series. The last chapter leads us to believe Yamaoka would save the day, but nah, Kurita can save herself. She just needs to believe.

I am assuming Mugiwara there meant to say "mirth", not "myrrh" LOL

I got curious about the pink liquor so I looked it up too.
I often dunked on Kariya for getting the food stuff wrong, but I guess I'll defend him for this because this time he's not entirely incorrect LOL. Cherry liquor can be pink. According to this recipe author, the reason why the liquor turns golden/brownish is because you leave the cherries in the drink for too long.
I guess it also might depend on the cherry fruits themselves. Cherries that are darker red should be more likely to turn the liquor red because the colour is the result of the pigments from the skin leaking out.
This is an example of a pink cherry liquor (unclear how long has it been aged):
This one has a deeper red (seems to be about 3-4 months aging):
Here is a recipe that includes some progress photos. You can see the drink still being pinkish at about 1 months in and turning golden at about 2-3 months.
Here is another version where the liquor is also red-pink (the fruits left inside are plums and apparently do not affect the colour).
Cherry Bounce is a Western liquor that is made with similar methods, and it also have a deep red. It seems to include some spices, though, so that could have affected the colour.
Now, maybe Kariya is actually still wrong and aging the drink for more than a year will still turn the pink drink gold, but at least I can give him the benefit of the doubt here, LOL. The recreator whose photo you included said their version is aged for a year, and I can't find details about whether they'd left in the fruits or not.
There's also professionally-made/branded ones that are literally pink, but I don't count that in case it's actually made with different methods.

Well, this is embarrassing.
Yes, I did mean 'mirth', the feeling of joy, not 'myrrh', the incense.
Just gonna fix that real quick.

That's a good point. Kaibara does explicitly mention his cherry liquor had the fruits removed before they were left to age, though it's not known how long his fruits were steeped for. Using a shorter steeping time to preserve color and keep the flavor lighter feels like something Kaibara would've done.I got curious about the pink liquor so I looked it up too.

From the end of the last chapter I expected Yamaoka to crash into Kurita's test and do everything for her. Glad to see that wasn't the case.
Also, finally caught up with this manga and I want to say that I really enjoy this translation. Especially due to all the work and research that goes into the supplemental notes at the end of the chapters.
On a side note, I stumbled upon this manga because Dungeon no Osananajimi had a whole chapter parodying it last year. Which makes me curious as to how much presence Oishinbo still has in Japan.

Oishinbo's popularity in Japan runs fairly deep. Back in its prime, it would be considered one of those manga that even 'normies' would be familiar with, and would be frequently referenced or parodied in other media. These days, it's more of a background piece of manga history sitting in the back of older manga fans' minds, while newer manga fans will instead just know it as 'that manga that got cancelled because of Fukushima', if they know it at all.
Japanese netizens and memers seem especially fond of Kaibara and his tsundere tendencies.
