QUESTION 4

What is your favorite food?

TOKI: Tsugu likes meat and cup noodles.

TSUGUMI: That’s not all! I also love curry, pizza and hamburger!

HIBARI: What about you, Toki-kun?

TOKI: Dumplings, I guess?

TSUGUMI: Not only are Toki’s dumplings delicious, but his folding technique is out of this world! And you, Mitsuru?

MITSURU: I like everything, but I do get a lot of weird looks when I say that I prefer coriander. Hibari, on the other hand, loves fruits.

HIBARI: That’s right. If I had to pick only one though, it would be Shine Muscat.^[1]

TSUGUMI: It’s the ones that he sometimes has when we go to his house!

TOKI: The crazy overpriced ones, if you ask me…

HAIJI: It is said that even the skin is rather sweet. As for me, I’ve recently been really into aperitif.^[2]

MASHIRO: Grilled ray fins, right? I do prefer Iburigakko ^[3] though.

HAIJI: Oh, those are good too. They go well with wine.

AKANE: Perfect debate among the drunkards.

MITSURU: What do you like, Akane?

AKANE: Hmmー... If I had to pick, then sukiyaki. And hamburger.

HIBARI: No way you have the taste of a child. ^[4]

AKANE: Doesn’t change the fact that it’s good.

KURONO: Well then, tomorrow we’ll have sukiyaki.

MASHIRO: There goes our Mister Housewife.

HAIJI: That reminds me, I don't think we’ve ever heard of Kurono-san likings.

KURONO: I’ll do anything to please Akane-san.

AKANE: Nah, not that, we’re asking about yer favourite food.

KURONO: I’m not extremely picky. But enjoying the meals I cook makes the food all the more tasty.

^[1] 'Shine Muscat’ is a variety of grape from Hiroshima, known for being relatively expensive (between 2,000円 and 10,000円) (read more)

^[2]Haiji actually says “drinking with appetizers”. In japan, Eihire or grilled ray fins are appetizers served in pubs to accompany a drink. Hence why Mashiro mentions them specifically.

^[3] Iburigakko are pickled smoked radish, which has been fermented in rice bran and hung up over a sunken hearth. It originates and is famous in the Akita prefecture.

^[4] Typically, japanese kids prefer to eat hamburgers, curry, ramen, croquete, omurice, and of course sukiyaki. (read more)
