Dotch Cooking Show

Today's contestants: katsuo (bonito) vs. sazae (turban shell)....

Recognizable celebrities: Watanabe Ken, Kikukawa Rei, Katase Rino (Oko from Musashi), and that SMAP guy. :hehe:


This episode was wild: going into the final presentation it was 6-1 in favor of the sazae...

And the winner??


Katsuo, 4-3. :hehe: :applaud:

I was really torn between the two, but in the end I was rooting for the sazae. Oh well... :grumble:

I was rooting for the katsuo... The only mollusk I'd eat is tako (octopus)...

It was pretty amazing seeing that 60-year old woman diving for those shells... Whew. :sweat:

My bet is we'll (Bay Area folk)start seeing the shows now that you guys down south saw in October, or whenever it started running in your area.

Hmm, can't remember when it started down here... I do know that the English subs just started several months ago...

The show just started: saba miso (mackerel in miso) vs. niku jyaga (potato beef). They both look soooo good. :puppydog: I'm hungry now.

Oh, no subs.

Hmm, so you guys get it on Sunday.... Can't recall if I saw that episode or not... Any recognizable celebs aside from the regular guy, Tsuyoshi?

Not a big fan of saba, so I'd vote for the niku jyaga. :)

Can't name them all, but I see Kataoka Tsurutaro, Koike Eiko, and that SMAP guy. :hehe:

It's funny how you refer to him that way. I guess it just stuck. :D

The result? Miso mackerel beats potato beef, 6-1.

I guess that's my sly commentary on his significance. Or SMAP's. :hehe:

Yow. Looks like I woulda gone hungry. :sweat:

What is SMAP anyway? And do you not like him or something? I think he's kinda cool...

They're a music group but they do a buncha other stuff (act, cook, etc.)... They're sort of a Japanese version of the Monkees... :hehe:

The group consists of hearthrob Kimura Takuya, food guy Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, that Shingo guy, and the other guy who never smiles and looks sorta mean and I don't know his name.... :beaten:

Thanks bmw. I've been wondering about that for a while now. It's nice to know what it is. :dancing:

Tonite's Menu: Miso vs. Mayo

And the winner is.....


Miso.... by a landslide... 7-0

I started to side with the mayo after I saw that fried fish and beef, but then they had that miso rice ball and the fish which pushed me over in the end.

Yow, the shutout surprised me... I still can't decide which one I would've chosen...

Seeing that woman make the mayo sorta weirded me out, especially seeeing her soak those eggs in the vinegar until the shells essentially dissolved away... Yeech. :bleh:

She was cute, not hot, IMO... The other two girls were ehhhhh, especially the older one... She reminded me of Cyndi Lauper. :nut:
