Why do I feel like I have more fun translating Niki's dialogue when she's being an insufferable asshat?
Do I secretly want to be an asshat? Oh no.

As a reminder, my next chapter upload is going to be half a day late.

Heels are always more fun than babyfaces. I think Niki/Futaki is better when she's just an outright villain instead of whenever she's being made sympathetic.

Ah, but are the people enjoying ikra in real life with the condiments eating the top class finest ikra that there is to offer? Like, to be fair to Mariko there, she actually said that using the eggs and stuff is acceptable, but only if you're eating the cheap caviar. Top class caviar don't need them.
Yamaoka himself in that one chapter with the gold spoons also used only pure caviar on rye bread, so it indicates that the author does think that top notch caviar ought to be eaten plain or with just the bread.

as someone who has bought little tins of caviar 3 (THREE!) entire times in my life (as exciting treats to bring to parties etc.) i feel i can say as a gourmand expert that it really shouldn't be an either-or, you should try some on its own to really savor the unique flavor, and you should experiment with all sorts of mix-ins and toppings and serving styles. i personally really loved it on plain salted potato chips with a bit of kewpie mayo. also, if both mother-of-pearl and gold are too fancy, the third best spoon to use is a plastic one lol.
