    I liked that it was reasonably priced while making use of various parts of Hiroshima beef. It was a dish that showed the dedication and love that goes into meat, such as mincing it into larger pieces so that you can enjoy the texture.

    The appearance of the dishes was refreshing and interesting, and I thought the combination of local ingredients and ingredients that are ``speak of Hiroshima'' was wonderful. It had a high-quality feel for the price, the taste of the Japanese mustard spinach was sweet, and Sakurao Jin was able to bring out the aroma of the Japanese Hamago well.

    From the judges
    It has a simple taste and you won't get tired of it even if you eat it every day. Not only is it produced in Hiroshima Prefecture, but it is also made from wheat grown without pesticides on abandoned farmland, making it a dish with a strong philosophy.

    I thought it was wonderful that they didn't intentionally use Hiroshima's famous ingredients, but instead made use of various ingredients that are still unknown to many people, including Hiroshima salmon. The mandarin oranges and sauce accentuated the dish, making it both delicious and beautiful to look at.

    The meat's fat doesn't have a strong taste, and it's bite-sized, so it's delicious and easy to eat for both children and adults. A satisfying dish with plenty of meat and vegetables.

    Even though it was a cheesecake, it had the texture and flavor as if I was eating a whole lemon. It has a three-layered structure and the flavors change wonderfully, making it a delicious cheesecake that anyone can enjoy.

    The oysters and beef, both of which could be the main ingredients, were successfully harmonized. Hiroshima was packed into one plate, and the ingredients from the mountains and the sea matched well, making it a luxurious dish.

    From the judges
    Miyajima's conger eel is well known nationwide, so I could feel the story behind Setouchi's conger eel and chirimen. The aroma of genmaicha and the sweet and salty sauce went well together, and it was a taste that you could enjoy twice at once.

    From the judges
    Not only is the idea fun and interesting, but the oysters and ``shari porridge'' have a good balance. When I ate it, I had a new taste of Japanese food. Even though it combines unexpected ingredients, it has a sense of unity and I felt that it was a dish that would change the way I eat oysters.

    The concept of ``travelling through Hiroshima'' is wonderful as it looks like you can see the scenery. This is a product that conveys the great care that is given to each and every material, and is filled with skill and ingenuity.

    From the judges
    Good balance of acidity and harshness. The use of lemon peel as a coating was unexpected and surprising. The taste matches the appearance, which takes advantage of the ingredients. The appearance also took advantage of the lemon and sea bream characteristics, and it was fun.

    The abundance of more than 30 types of vegetables in one dish conveyed the commitment to the producers and Hiroshima Prefecture ingredients. I was drawn to the concept of ``eating the whole ocean.''

Overall comments from the judges

Today, I tasted a variety of everyone's dishes, and I was very moved to see everyone's thoughts and feelings toward Hiroshima prefecture, as well as everyone's honed techniques. I learned a lot from everyone's creative thinking. When people from outside the prefecture come to Hiroshima, they always seem to eat Hiroshima's Okonomiyaki before leaving, but now I have a strong desire to have them enjoy Hiroshima beef and oysters as well. There is no goal in honing your cooking skills, so I would like to ask you to continue working hard, improving your skills, and spreading Hiroshima Prefecture's agricultural, forestry, and fishery products to the world.

Delicious! Hiroshima's "Tabensai" presents a diverse selection of Hiroshima-style menus and products. Delicious Hiroshima! Please enjoy.
