Episode Title:
What Fills the Box.
Episode Description:
The main tournament of the Autumn Elections starts with Soma and Alice, who are making bentos. Using her array of scientific techniques and state-of-the-art equipment, Alice presents a temari sushi bento that uses flavors from each piece to complement the flavor of the next. Meanwhile, Soma presents his own take on a nori bento, using a molecular gastronomy technique he learned from a cheap candy product to make umami-packed nori spheres. Feeling that the warmth of his dish better suited the theme, the judges declare Soma as the winner.
