Episode 3

At a meal arranged by Kai, Gaku Kitada is challenged to prepare a dish for Kagura Musashi, a former Math Olympiad training-camp acquaintance who doubts his mathematical approach to cooking. Gaku explores umami components, but Ranna points out that his numerical formula does not account for the limited ingredients that create synergy. A childhood memory of tilefish leads him to choose tilefish, scallops, and prosciutto for a new dish.
