After months of very little activity (except a little roar in August) the official site for 1-18-08 has added another picture to its gallery. This time it features something a little out of the ordinary.
What looks like a Japanese (I assume) chef is seen in the kitchen really enjoying a tray of unknown food items. Flip the picture over and a bunch of Japanese text is scrawled over it. Since I'm no expert in Japanese it will take some time to figure out what it really is. However, a quick guess is that it is a recipe from the cook pictured. The fractioned numbers and ordered list make that my guess.
Update: The guys and gals at unfiction didn't take long to figure it out. Original post of the translation is here. It is indeed a recipe and here is a quick translation:
Everybody, thank you for viewing! I'll introduce this week's delicious recipe.
Please make sure to keep this one cold!
*Skinless chicken breast - 2,
cut in halves
*Soumen (a kind of japanese noodle) - 10 oz.
*Watercress -
1/2 cup cut into small strips
*Turnip - 1/2 cup, thinly sliced
*Shiitake
(japanese mushrooms) - 1/2 cup
*Chicken stock - 1/3 cup
*Sake (japanese
rice wine) - 2 tbsp.
*Sugar - 1/2 tsp.
*Ocean-bottom crab - one
In a small saucepan, stir together 1/3 cup water, chicken stock, sake, and sugar. Chill it until it becomes cold. Grill the chicken breast on both sides for about 8 minutes, and then chill. Boil the noodles for about 3 minutes, and then run under cold water until chilled. Mix the watercress, turnips, and mushrooms into the soumen. Slice the chicken thinly and arrange on top of the soumen mix. Just before you serve, put the crab in the sauce and pour over the noodles generously.
Go go Oishii ("delicious") Chef!
