Thanks for the TL. The logic in this chapter is so goofy lol. The guy said since sashimi is not considered "cuisine" the entirety of japanese cuisine is not worth talking about. Huh?
They prove him wrong by doing a bit more than just cutting the fish, basically proving his point (sashimi isnt cuisine).
I would say while sashimi is a dish, is it not inherently japanese. Many countries eat cut raw fish

My own feelings as I was doing it was first, "Well, he does have a point that I suppose sashimi (and for that matter things like beef tartare) aren't technically 'cooking'", but the idea that it isn't cuisine because of that is rather absurd, and while sashimi wasn't as common as it would later become (at least here in the United States where I am) at the time this comic was written, it was still something that you could find in most cities. Lots of people ate it, even then, both in the east and the west.

I love chapters where Kurita (?) gets a chance to shine

Oh, plenty more of those to come. Technically, the manga is written from her POV much more than Yamaoka's.
