This month’s installment brings us to Tremendous Worth, a grocery store chain from Saitama that was based in 2022, making this enterprise youthful than the Japan’s Finest Dwelling Senbero sequence itself!
However sufficient JBHS trivia, let’s see what’s on the menu this time round, beginning with a can of Mizoremon lemon bitter for 137 yen ($0.90). The title is a pun on the Japanese phrase “mizore” which implies “sleet” and regardless of the shared implications of being chilly and moist, the Japanese phrase should be extra appetizing than the English.

Ahiruneko excitedly confirmed off his bounty, desperate to make some unprecedented senbero treats.
▼ Ahiruneko: “Hiya, everybody! Welcome to Senbero Cooking with me, Ahiruneko! I’ve a merely splendid senbero in retailer right now!”
▼ Ahiruneko: “I don’t suppose you all heard me! It’s Senbero Cooking time!”

▼ Ahiruneko: “Powerful tooties! I’m not gonna half with Senbero Cooking for something on the earth… besides a fried rooster bento from Zuien up the road. The five hundred-yen one too! None of that low cost crap!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “…”
Ahiruneko: “…”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Deal!”
▼ Ahiruneko: “Pleasure doing enterprise with you. So long as I obtained my Zuien rooster, nothing else issues…”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Hiya, everybody! Sorry about that tried hostile takeover of Senbero Cooking, however we’re again on observe with me, Mr. Sato!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Appears like we’re making some tempura, so I assume we’ll begin with the batter. In spite of everything, you may’t have Senbero Cooking with out the cooking, am I proper?”
▼ P.Okay. Sanjun: “Sorry, I gotta get by right here… Isn’t this Japan’s Finest Dwelling Senbero although?”
Mr. Sato: “You’re screwing up the digital camera’s focus, man.”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Sorry of us, this episode of Japan’s Finest Dwelling Senbero Cooking is simply stuffed with interruptions, isn’t it? Hahah!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Again to our batter… Hmm… It doesn’t all appear to slot in this measuring cup.”
▼ Yoshio (behind the digital camera): “You’re supposed to simply use the cup to measure it after which put it within the bowl.”
Mr. Sato: “Ah yeah, that is sensible…”
▼ Mr. Sato: “I assume that’s why they name it a ‘measuring cup.’”
Yoshio: “You don’t cook dinner a lot, do you?”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Oh, hush, you do know you’re speaking to the host of Senbero Cooking, don’t you?”
Yoshio: “It’s Japan’s Finest Dwelling Senbero.”
Mr. Sato: “Similar distinction…”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Test it out! This measuring cup even measures water. Whoever designed this factor is a genius!”
Mr. Sato celebrated placing flour and water right into a bowl by triumphantly elevating his fist within the air.
He then began to combine the substances collectively.
As he blended, the sheer pleasure of cooking started to envelop his coronary heart with a heat glow.
That very same heat glow started to wrap across the blood vessels in his mind, inflicting the circulation in it to decelerate significantly.
▼ Mr. Sato: “Um… That ought to do it. Now… it’s time to dip the norimaki!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Right here I am going…”
Our reporter dipped beneath the desk and rapidly re-emerged trying slightly completely different.
▼ Mr. Sato: “Hey, it’s me…”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Arale Norimaki!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “See, as a result of I dipped after which, … We’re engaged on a fancy dress funds. So long, of us!”
Mr. Sato then started reducing the sushi rolls into shorter segments in order that they’ll fry extra simply.
▼ Mr. Sato: “Ahiruneko purchased these so I don’t know what’s inside. Appears like kanpyo, natto, and mentaiko…”
Subsequent, he put slices within the sausages in order that they wouldn’t explode whereas being fried.
After heating the oil, he determined to simply attempt a pair items first to see if every thing was OK.
He put the batter-dipped items of sushi into the oil however their coloration modified slightly rapidly, suggesting the oil was too scorching.
Earlier than persevering with, he put the items onto a rack to drip and funky earlier than a fast style check.
▼ Mr. Sato: “Let’s see how that is…”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Oh, wow! That is actually good! The seaweed is crispy and there’s a pleasant aroma. I feel I’ve simply created the very best senbero recipe ever!”
Whereas the sushi tempura concept was technically Ahiruneko’s, he did promote the rights to Senbero Cooking for some rooster so Mr. Sato was legally in a position to take credit score for it. He felt these check items weren’t completely cooked although, so he lowered the temperature a bit for a extra even job.
Instantly a small little bit of oil splattered up and got here into contact with our reporter’s hand.
▼ Mr. Sato: “Ouch!”
Yoshio: “Fast! Do your feng shui!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Oh yeah, good name! Ouch, ouch, ouch…”

▼ Mr. Sato: “I name upon the energies of the jap wooden factor!”
Having efficiently healed his slight and momentary ache, Mr. Sato completed frying his meals.

After that, he did the sausages.
▼ Mr. Sato: “Oh, there’s one thing else right here. What’s this?”
▼ Mr. Sato: “I can’t see it so effectively… Su… Su…mo…”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Sumo?”
▼ Mr. Sato: “SUUUUUUUUMOOOOOO!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “SSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Sumo! Sumo! Sumo!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Sumo! Sumo!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Sumo! Sumo! Sumo!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Seiji! Sumo!”
Seiji: “Huh? Sumo?”
▼ Seiji: “Are you positive? For actual?”
Mr. Sato: “Yeah, now deliver it!”
As the 2 titans’ our bodies clashed a thunderous sound boomed and shockwaves pulsed by the workstations.
▼ Seiji: “Arghhhh!”
Mr. Sato: “You’ve gotten higher at this!”

▼ Seiji: “Hurghurmph!”

▼ Mr. Sato: “Sure, Seiji, you may have gotten a lot sturdier in your 10 years with our group. I’m happy with you, son.”
Mr. Sato returned to the kitchen with a full coronary heart at seeing how his co-worker had grown right into a hearty younger man. The following step was to fry up the Japanese plums.
Frying pickled plums appeared like a wierd type of overkill, however a senbero is all about new tastes and experiences.
The assorted battered and fried objects have been left to chill and dry off earlier than consuming.
And that accomplished the Tremendous Worth tempura senbero!
▼ Mr. Sato: “Sure… Time to eat!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “However first! I often get the bottom-barrel alcohol that doesn’t style good, however this alcopop Ahiruneko obtained appears very nice. It appears actually sleety!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “I do know! I ought to go round and ask individuals in the event that they’re feeling sleety too!”
Fearful about socializing with alcohol on the streets of Tokyo this near Halloween, Mr. Sato determined to vary his man-on-the-street section to a man-in-the-office one.

▼ Yuichiro: “Oh, I’m completely sleety. Little doubt!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “I’m sorry, sir. Did I catch you at a foul time?”
Go: “Sure. Make it fast.”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Are you sleety?”
Go: “Why didn’t you say so within the first place? I definitely am, good sir!”
After getting sufficient polling knowledge, Mr. Sato returned to his senbero.
▼ Mr. Sato: “Let’s attempt ingesting this sleet stuff. By the best way, I assumed I simply made ‘sleety’ up however all of them appeared to know what it meant… I ponder what it’s.”
Mr. Sato determined to drown his curiosity in his sleety lemon drink. It was a lot smoother and extra scrumptious than his previous drinks like discounted synthetic beer-flavored drink.
Nevertheless it was nonetheless the deep-fried sushi rolls that stole the present on this senbero. They have been a double-threat of texture and taste that made him need to eat an increasing number of.
In addition they went nice with alcohol – a real residence senbero innovation!
Our reporter was additionally anxious the tempura pickled plums can be too bitter, however one way or the other the tartness was diminished by the frying. It simply goes to point out, you may by no means make sure what the results of cooking may be.
▼ “Knock! Knock!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Huh? There have been no visitors scheduled for this senbero. Who’s that?”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Cutieboy QT, is that you just?!”

Mr. Sato returned to his fried meals and some minutes later…
▼ “Knock! Knock!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Once more? Perhaps I’m not listening to issues if it occurred twice.”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Huh? Nobody once more! What’s occurring right here? Is that this some type of sleety prank?”
▼ Ahiruneko: “Yo! Down right here!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Eek!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Ahiruneko! It’s you?!”
▼ Ahiruneko: “Sure, it’s I, Ahiruneko. You have been speculated to get me a rooster bento however you didn’t. I’m now so hungry that I’ve no vitality. This wasn’t a part of the deal… THIS WASN’T PART OF THE DEAL!”
▼ Mr. Sato: “Oh, jeez! I’m sorry. Cling on! I’ll go get you one thing to eat.”
▼ Ahiruneko: “Yesssss… I… would admire that…”
▼ Mr. Sato: “I got here up with this superior recipe for sushi tempura. You’re gonna find it irresistible!”

Mr. Sato: “Shushhhhhh… Save your vitality and eat my tasty morsels.”
