 |
| Sakai sautees some hakusai (long napa) in some butter. |

 |

 |

 |
| Sakai counters with a blowtorch of his own |
 |
| Kandagawa adds salmon, rice, and shoyu into a pot. |
 |
| Uh oh.. it's everybody's favorite ingredient.. shirako (fish sperm).. covered in truffles. |
 |

 |
| After straining and tasting the dashi, Kandagawa ladles it into a tea pot. |
