Team Ichigo visits their landlady’s gelato shop to practice production techniques. She warns that they must create a unique flavor to win the upcoming competition. The group brainstorms and decides on a sakura sea salt option. They successfully produce four distinct varieties: Kashino creates rum raisin, Andoh makes pistachio, Hanabusa prepares peach, and the trio combines Ichigo’s suggestions to finalize the sakura sea salt. During the competition, Team Ichigo defeats Team Ricardo’s doughnuts by a single point margin. This victory allows Teams Tennouji, Ichigo, Koshiro, and François to progress to the semi-finals.
