Episode Title:
The Chef Who's Crossed a Thousand Leagues.
Episode Description:
With Fumio, Megumi, and Satoshi as judges, Soma and Joichiro are challenged to use ingredients from the kitchen to make a light yet energizing breakfast dish. Soma presents an apple risotto, which provides a crisp taste that changes with the addition of black pepper. Joichiro presents an unusual ramen that, despite its heavy appearance, turns out to be a mellow and warming vegetarian dish, providing powerful flavor without meat or fish. The judges unanimously vote Joichiro's dish the winner, though Soma's dish also receives praise. As Joichirou takes leaves, he recommends that Soma visit Yukihira Diner during the holiday.
