Food Wars: The Heaven's Senses

Moon Festival Fight

Hikari smiled as she was preparing her newest recipe with Akira. He was taking care of the spices while Hikari rolled all of the ingredients together. They had decided to make a fusion recipe, Hikari's strongest type of cooking style. It was an Indo-Japanese style sushi, using Indian ingredients mixed with a style of traditional sushi.

"Ready to get started, Akira?" Hikari smirked, preparing for the customers to come through.

Akira looked back at her and nodded. Hikari smiled and walked up to the front of their colorful stand.

"Come one and all to the five day International Mystery Stand!" Hikari called out, "The only stand of the Moon Festival that changes its menu everyday. Come join us for new recipes that will shake your senses to your core!"

Just as she finished speaking, Akira let out the wonderous scent of his many spices filled the air, drawing several people to come and try their food.

"Indo-Japanese cuisine?"

"What the heck is that smell?"

"I don't know, but it smells amazing!"

"Mommy, I wanna try some of that!"

"Let's go!"

People came up to their stand and stared as they watched Hikari and Akira prepared the food right before their eyes. 

Hikari laid out several nori sheets before placing the rice on one side. Akira followed behind and laid out a special mix of green chutney made with garlic, black salt, sugar, lime juice, green chili and other indian spices. Hikari came back with a dark soy sauce and sprinkled some green coriander leaves before she rolled it all up and sliced it with ease.

She placed all of the freshly made sushi rolls on separate serving plates and sprinkled just a little bit of black pepper on top before serving it to the waiting customers.

"Order up!" She called out to the waiting people, "Moon Fest Special: Indo-Japanese sushi rolls! Prepare to have your senses rattled beyond recognition!"

The first few people eagerly took the meal provided for their enjoyment and were not disappointed. As soon as the took their first bite, their bodies were overtaken by the wonderful and exotic tastes of Indian cuisine, but many thought that it was just normal sushi because of its appearance. It threw them all for a loop, but they couldn't get enough of it.

"Oh my gosh, this is incredible!"

"I thought that this was normal sushi!"

"No way! This is amazing!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect to find something like this at the Moon Festival!"

"I can't wait for their next dish tomorrow!"

The compliments kept coming one after another and the demands for their food came in even faster. By the end of the day, Akira and Hikari had so many stacks of money that it was almost comparable to one of the Ten, since Eishi was right next to them. Soon, the first day of the festival ended and Hikari and Akira counted the stacks of cash they had collected during the event.

"Wow! Just look at all this!" Hikari said excitedly, "We just might take first place for today."

"Yeah, all because of your incredible idea to combine Indian and Japanese cuisine." Akira commented, "It was amazing that you could create a recipe like that on the spot."

"Thank, Akira. I just thought about sushi and it came to mind." Hikari chuckled.

They went to the collection booth and entered their earnings for the day before walking down the streets so Hikari could meet up with her brother at his stand.
