Ep. 68: Miki's birthday celebration and Ueda's culinary journey to success

68

The Culture Division marks Miki's 20th birthday after he has worked part-time at Touzai for three months. His friend Ueda, a trainee chef at Western Cuisine Ginka, expresses dissatisfaction with the owner's lack of culinary interest. Yamaoka requests lunch from Ueda, praising his fried pork but criticizing his omelette as a failure. He then visits Maison de France, where the chef demonstrates superior techniques using fresh eggs and specific methods. Inspired by this experience, Ueda gains enthusiasm for cooking and secures a traineeship at a high-quality restaurant. His entrance exam required preparing a simple omelette, which he mastered successfully with the help of a dedicated frying pan purchased by Yamaoka.
