Basically Souma want to show the country that those item can be eaten. It is to show the citizen that the food is edible since they are not willing to try due to the looks. The cooking with salt and sugar is just a way make it taste better.

4th episode turned into a cooking show, why not

Also they really like cliffhangers in this anime, wondering what could be the last dish presented

I think sora have different way to make this character OP. but Souma? I'll try to reconsider him into realists. I wonder Souma will making harsh decision, since he adopted Machiavellism in LN.

This episode makes me to making food. Too bad i didn't give knowledge about nature itself. Even i compare this with LN, there are a lot of question than explaination.

This episode felt short despite not having unnecessary scenes, this episode suffers from a case of information overload.

From Speciesism, Language barriers, Fragile alliances, Current state of war, Material Laws, (Food sourcing, production and preparation), and even squeezed in shipping tendencies plus a little bit of Salt Bae.

While some anime suffer from spending 80% of an episode Yelling.

I didn’t expect to like this anime so much, it’s great!!!!! I really like Souma, he’s definitely playing the personable ruler well & I love seeing how he’s dealing with their food shortage problem. And he was right, the advisor is definitely giving valuable advice & he made the right decision to keep him by his side.

Liscia’s reactions are so funny lolollll & her maid is sucha shipper what a phat mooooooood LOL

Also wtf was Souma sewing???????? Was it a plushie toy for Tomoe I didn’t get a good look. Looked weird LOL

I wonder what’s the next food item!!!!!!!!







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

Hey, does anyone know the name of the OST from 16:50 with the clarinet? I am almost certain it is one of Hitoshi Sakimoto's pieces from Valkyrie Chronicles but I can not find the exact OST for the life of me T-T

Same. I know this is not an action anime but still the whole thing has been just a handful of people talking inside a castle. Idk it just feels dull maybe because it's slow paced too. Anyway if it goes like this i will probably stop watching it.

The action does come on later, but if it does get boring for you, drop it by all means.

That said, the action will come by from episode 5/6 so do give those a try if you want to know how it feels like in the show.

A war also occurs later, which will get you hooked if you keep watching, but it will probably happen from episode 7/8 onwards. Btw, the pacing of the anime is good by LN standards

From a talent show last ep to a cooking showcase this ep, the show is rather diverse with its content. Not sure if the info this ep is even relevant, but he has to solve the food shortage in some way, I guess.

Tomoe has indeed got quite the talent. I'm interested to see how they use her ability moving forward. After 4 eps tho, I think they might need to bump up the intensity, or they may lose my attention otherwise.

Another great episode. Loved every minute of it!

One of the Major things I do like about this anime is that the People who work for him are not out to get him like in other Isekai. Marx is a prime example because he has the face of a schemer but he actually gave some very good advice to Souma in regards to the handling of Tomoe.

I can stomach octopi or tree roots if I want to but no way in hell would I ever ingest locusts or anything resembling them... unless the whole thing is made of chocolate.
I'm enjoying this anime more than I expected from the first episode. I like cliffhangers but one thing I don't like about this show is how abruptly it ends each episode.

Going into it, it seemed a bit odd to be broadcasting a food show to your starving populace... but okay "introduce them to new foods and ways of cooking them so that they won't be grossed out when it does show up" okay makes sense...

But I'm kind of bothered that talks-to-animals girl isn't a vegetarian, she has a nice conversation with an anime and then watches it be butchered and then eats it? Maybe she can't talk to sea life or insects...

Quite a funny episode. They cooked that octopus so well I practically started salivating. I wonder what will be the repercussions of Tomoe being able to speak with demons. Like a Chekhov's gun this is certainly going to be used later. I hope Tomoe gets out of her shell soon :)

The whole miso/soybean on a pedestal thing is pretty much a generic isekai trope at this point.

And yeah -that wolf girl eating animals is crazy AF; presumably the octopus would have been terrified and (depending on how her powers work) screaming/begging for it's life.
Octopuses are seemingly one of the more intelligent creatures around, that personally puts me off eating them but since the Japanese eat cetaceans as well -it may just not be something that they care or think about.

So one can actually communicate with the demons so a diplomatic solution maybe possible.

The last dish is...pizza! Or mayonnaise or one with mayonnaise? I think the Japanese are obsessed with mayonnaise.

Well, wolves are carnivores, aren't they?

...sigh. And of COURSE the taste-testing scene was nothing but girls going "oishii". I'm tired of that cliche where anime characters, no matter what they eat, always must yell how it's the most delicious thing ever.

Well from the previous episode's cliffhanger we finally knew Tomoe can talk to demons

Nah she ain't about to become a consort to Souma even Liscia was shocked to consider it and I'm going to ignore that, That was cute tho Liscia has a little sister well I don't mind that in fact I find that so cute

Dudes we got the sixth season of Shokugeki no Souma yeah no shit even the name connects and mf did the salt bae he did it he did the thing, Only thing that you would find from Poncho is mastering tastes but I guess the dude already did, And another cliffhanger god I'm actually thankful I didn't watch this when it was airing.

Gotta question Marx there with his second suggestion for Souma to have Tomoe, a 10-year old, as consort which obviously wasn't going to happen.

Other world's tastes, hm.. Wonder, if they'd be popular in this world.. I think we have pretty different sauces.. Souma had - aren't too common in my part of world, I think.. They are accessible.. But some sauces are more popular.. Well.. What matters.. Is that people will have access to more food, as they're solving that..

While I do understand the advantages of showing people more options for food, I don't think cooking them like that is very efficient. I mean... if people are struggling already to afford food, how are they going to afford to use oil to deep fry stuff and use bread to make bread crumbs to cover the food like that? In extreme poverty, people barely use any oil and condiments in their food.

Some of these dishes, such as the deep-fried octopus, have too high an ingredient cost to be consistently produced by commoners in times of food shortage, but I suppose the locusts are an option.
