Original Air Date: December 6, 2017
The Shokugeki between Ryou Kurokiba and Rentarou Kusunoki gets in motion, with Alice sending a blunt message to Azami.
This episode provides examples of:
- Air-Vent Passageway: Isshiki arrived to Erina's room through the ceiling panel, to her utter shock.
- Audience Surrogate: Soma serves as the one who gets the explanation of all the cutting-edge equipment's functions.
- Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: In this episode, Erina realizes how far Alice is willing to go for her.
- Book Dumb: Soma outright admits that he never paid attention in class when he can't tell the functions of a steam convection oven and a cryomill, needing Alice to give him a brief explanation.
- Impossibly Delicious Food: With the main theme being Salmon, there were two dishes presented.
- Rentarou Kusunoki's Saumon Confit Flamme consisted of salmon fillets marinated in olive oil and wrapped with bacon, cooked slowly in the steam convection oven at 45°C, gaining a soft buttery texture after a second step in the Salamander Oven. The side is an ice cream made of salmon paste with the cryomill.
- On the other hand, Ryou Kurokiba's Salmon Coulibiac had a slight advantage because of the special seasoning blend incorporated between the rice and the salmon layers, which amplified the true flavor of the salmon.
- The Nicknamer: Momo adds a "nyan" or another cute sound to the names of people she deems as inferior.
- No Social Skills: Momo is very timid and grumpy around new people.
- Took a Level in Badass: Ryou not only improved by the constant duels with Alice, he also took his defeat against Akira and his Stagiaire to improve himself by learning more about seasoning and spices.
