| Yamamoto puts flour on two huge scallops and places a mixture consisting of ground kurobuta, minced ginger, shao shing rice wine, oysters, crab meat, salt and cornstarch. Yummy! |
 |
| At 12 minutes left in the match, the two lions begin dancing to encourage Yamamoto. The red lion danced on the outskirts of KS, while the white lion chased Chin as he moved around the arena. Chin smiled, to some delight, but it appears they only wanted to distract Chin... these challengers from Yokohama play dirty. |
 |
| Scallop shumais are going into the steamer. Look at how big the scallops are! |
 |
| With 5 minutes to go, Chin begins slicing the pigs ear for an appetizer. |
 |
| Such beautiful presentation by the tetsujin! Ear, pigs toungue, white portion of leeks seasoned with salt... and some other stuff |
 |
| The
shumai are being topped with roe. Yamamoto will then go on further
to make a sauce out of wax gourd and adds it to the shumai.
The commentators called it wax gourd, but to me, it appeared to be wintermelon, dong gua. |

| Chosensha,
Yamamoto present 4 dishes:
Top
Left: Chinese date and black pig soup
They called a gyorza in the end, but looking at it, it resmembles a shumai more than a gyorza. Why? Gyorza's are completely sealed in a skin. Shumai's are partially sealed. Seafood is never used in gyorza. Seafood and pork are used in shumai's. If I had a choice, I wouldn't call it a shumai or gyorza. |

| Yamamoto was slaughtered! 4-0 decision with a score of 78 to 63! The 2nd chef from Yokahama's Chinatown scoreed even less than the first chef! So much for the big brother. After seeing Yokahama's Chinatown suffer two consecutive disasturous losses, it may even be safe to say that Chinese food in Yokahama just plain sucks. |
