The foodie of the shadow, miss me?
Last time, the fan film introduced you to a documentary with a unique style of painting, "Ants on shrimp", which aims to show the secret of Noma's exquisite cooking skills: teamwork and innovation and enterprising.
This time, Fanying continues to recommend an excellent documentary "And The Two Gods of Food: The Final Engagement".
It aims to show everyone that in fact, external competition can also promote the improvement and improvement of each other's cooking skills.
As the saying goes: an opponent is also a confidant.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Washoku Sokami: Jiro Ono VS Tetsuya Kootome</h1>
Under the hands of Mr. Jiro Ono, a Michelin-iii chef known as the god of sushi, sushi has become an unparalleled work of art.
Under the hands of Tetsuya Koto, known as the god of tempura, tempura has also become a supreme work of art.
The old man's sushi pays attention to the ingredients, from rice to fish, it is carefully selected to extract the original taste of the ingredients. The old man's skillful and dexterous technique, the force concentrates on the surface, quickly pinched, the sushi is suspended in the middle, and each rice is suspended, naturally sagging, showing the initial taste of the food.
Tempura of Otome pays attention to the meticulous calculation of temperature and seconds, and when working, it is usually holding her breath and mentally silently calculating the time. Tempura is fried on the outside and crispy on the outside, while the middle remains fresh, giving the tip of the tongue the best temperature and taste sensation.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > work together until they are 100 years old: rival vs confidant</h1>
Putting aside the food itself, what actually moved me more was the complementary friendship and emotion between the two.
The two have known each other for thirty years and are both rivals and confidants. The opponent is the honing of each other's skills and the adherence to their own profession; confidant is the recognition and appreciation of each other's attitude and emotion reflected in the food.
For thirty years, they competed with each other, progressed with each other, and made an unknown pact: to work together until they were 100 years old.
In the duel between the masters, there is no storm or vigorous, only the clouds are light and clear, and the real is real. It's a world that two people who have reached the pinnacle of their skills understand
The two had known each other for thirty years, but had little communication.
Each time, Otome habitually sat next to Erlang, and this position could best see Erlang's technique. Without ordering food, the old man will dedicate his lifelong learning, the ultimate 20 consecutive Edo-mae that took 60 years to create.
Out of a sushi dish, Otome naturally took it and ate it.
They don't have any verbal communication, but words speak louder than sounds. Eating represents all the communication and praise, and any words are miserable.
And Jiro will also habitually choose the position on the right inside, and this position can also see all the activities of Otome.
There is also no need to order food, and Otome will dedicate most of her life to development - the supreme dish recommendation, prepare for battle!
Out of a tempura, Jiro also took the opportunity to eat it.
Then, after eating all the food, the two respectfully sent each other out of the house.
The decisive battle ended in a light breeze.
Is there a final result? Of course. When he saw the childlike happy smile that Jiro showed after sending Otome, the victory and defeat came out.
And such a wordless contest has appeared many times since the two met.
Competition pushes two people to the extreme of japanese food and cuisine.
Because of the competition, Jiro has always pursued innovation and progress, constantly specializing in new ingredients, changing seasoning and techniques, only he can make sushi so delicious.
Otome also strives to innovate, follow in The footsteps of Jiro, and surpass him. Only he can make tempura so delicious.
With the passage of time, Erlang's health is not as good as a day, Erlang, who suffers from chivalrous heart disease, relies on a pacemaker to maintain beating, and Erlang even considered retirement.
At this time, in order to encourage Erlang, Otome and Erlang made an agreement:
I'm going to work until I'm 130, and you're going to work until you're 100, sir.
Therefore, the old man decided to stick to the agreement and return to work.
His ideal, he said, was to fall down and leave at work at the last minute.
Otome is also determined to surpass him
Heroes cherish heroes, they are opponents, but also confidants.
The contest between masters is actually more of a contest of ideas.
Only Otome Koto can understand the attitude and aesthetics of life reflected by Jiro in sushi, and feel Erlang's care for ingredients;
Only A and Otome can understand the countless hardships and efforts behind Erlang;
Only Otome can understand the change of Erlang's daily method of seasoning and daily progress;
Only A and Otome can perceive the problems of the elderly Erlang - dry hands, insufficient hand strength.
In other words, only Jiro can understand the intentions and emotions of Otome's work;
Only Jiro can detect the superb skills behind the delicious taste of Otome;
Only Erlang can appreciate Erlang's efforts and persistence;
Their presence makes the two more upward.
And their duel, where is the duel of the food itself, they are the exchange and collision of ideas, the understanding and fusion of emotions, the recognition of each other's thoughts and the affirmation of each other's progress.
Serious, attentive, persistent, persistent ~ this is the secret of two people with a sharp heart ~ ah~
This is the spirit that touched the depths of my heart!
Just like me and The Shadow, I also have such a love affair at first sight
Food and movies, telling and listening, this is also my story and touch with the fans ~ ~~
