00:00The man ran a small izakaya, and the strangest thing about it was that the front door could
00:04connect directly to another world. Before long, the izakaya welcomed a distinguished guest,
00:08Miss Jenny from the Maritime Transport Association. Every gesture she made was
00:11elegant, and the way she drank her sake completely captivated Jack. Today's appetizer was stir-fried
00:16burdock shreds, crispy, chewy, and a perfect match for cold sake. Next, the owner prepared
00:21a salt-grilled pacific sori just for Miss Jenny. He suggested adding a touch of soy sauce to the
00:25grated daikon and eating it together with the fish. The skin was charred and crispy,
00:28and the meat was rich with natural oils. There was a secret hidden inside the fish.
00:32The chef had intentionally kept the fish liver and grilled it whole. Jenny tasted a tiny bit,
00:36and the bitterness nearly overwhelmed her. But after a sip of sake, the flavor suddenly
00:40became surprisingly delicious. She set her chopsticks down, yet plenty of fish remained.
00:45It seemed she didn't quite know how to separate the meat. Jack asked the chef for a small plate,
00:49and used his chopsticks to scrape the fish off the bone. He suggested turning half of it into
00:52grilled sari rice. After some waiting, the dish was ready. Once the rice was topped with chopped
00:57scallions, the aroma alone was irresistible. Thanks to dishes like these, the izakaya grew
01:01more and more popular, and everyone began to develop their own favorite menu items.
01:05One day, Parker arrived with a strange jar. When he set it on the table, the jar wouldn't
01:09stop shaking. While collecting plates, Kelly accidentally knocked it over, and a gigantic
01:13creature crawled out. Most residents of Adilia had never seen such a thing. Lena grabbed it
01:17barehanded without hesitation. It was simply an unusually large octopus. Finding one this big and this
01:22fresh was a rare treat. The chef swiftly chopped it into pieces, washed off the slime with flour,
01:26then blanched and cooled it. The first dish, octopus sashimi. Bright white after preparation.
01:30Bouncy and chewy. With more flavor the longer you chewed. Before anyone finished their plate,
01:35the sound of frying burst from the kitchen. The second dish, deep fried octopus. The third dish,
01:39marinated wasabi octopus. A classic sake pairing. The moment it hit the tongue,
01:43the sharp heat kicked in immediately.
