Donburi Iinchou (Japanese Bowl Chairman / どんぶり委員長)

Previously on

Class President's Donburi

I was raised by strict parents,

and through the forceful actions of Yoshida-kun, a delinquent boy,

I learned the pleasure of gulping down a donburi.

Ah, how far...

have I fallen down?

A new kind of noir gourmet drama that will change your life.

"Class President's Donburi" is about to start!

Hey.

Ah, this is Yoshida-kun.

- You talk too much. - Eh?

Too much about delinquent boys and changing lives.

Ha... Just donburi... that's good.

When you say that's good, are you talking about the donburi?

It's starting.

A BOWL OF ILL-MANNERED!

CLASS PRESIDENT'S FIRST IMPACT SPECIAL GYUDON

Supreme Gyudon

Huh?

Is that...

Hey, Class President.

You want a gyudon?

- You've got the wrong person. - Eh?

- I'm not the Class President or anything. - Eh?

Ah... Right, I see.

So you want to eat a gyudon, but you're too embarrassed to come in disguise?

- You're the worst! - Eh?

You know, it's because I was raised by strict parents,

I've never been to a gyudon restaurant

or eaten gyudon before!

But the other day, when I had oyakodon, it was so delicious

that I thought I'd like to try gyudon, which I've always

been curious about! - No, Class President, wait...

I was so embarrassed, but I finally made up my mind.

It was a small step for mankind,

but for me, it was an Armstrong-grade step of courage!

- W-What are you talking about? - And yet...

C-Class President...

- You're so inconsiderate. - Eh?

Boys are so stupid!

That's okay.

You're here early for a guy who starts third period.

Ah.

Damn it...

- Class President. - What?

I'm sorry about yesterday.

Are you free after school today?

I'm not afraid to admit that I am not entirely free, but what is it?

I thought I'd make you a gyudon to make up for it.

Really?

Yay!

You don't even know what the question is?

I really... did work on the... question.

I don't blame you.

I'll teach you everything from scratch, so free up some time after school.

Okay.

What's up with Class President?

She's always been weird, but now she's gotten even weirder.

Eh? Did those two ever get along in the first place?

Indeed.

What's the connection between the underachiever and Class President?

Don't tell me that you don't smell love?

- Eh? - Huh?

- Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. - No, no, no, no.

Well, what was it again?

Are you going to make gyudon for me?

Yes, then I'll make it.

So let's see what you've got.

First, add the bonito broth to boiling water.

Add the sliced onion and simmer it over medium heat until softened.

In the meantime, here do this.

What's that, a bulb?

Ginger, peel and grate it.

Are you even supposed to do that?

You want a delicious gyudon, don't you?

Then don't be reluctant to spare yourself the trouble.

The trouble...

It's the basics, so don't write it down, just remember it.

Yes.

I'll do it, after all.

Ah, okay...

Here.

Then, sake and sugar.

Light soy sauce and dark soy sauce.

Salt, the main part, boned cow rib.

Once it's that size, it's okay to just cut it up and put it in.

Cut and put it in...

You don't have to write that memo down either.

- That memo... - That too!

Yes.

This is where you remove the scum (of the soup).

Put them in water.

Then add the ginger here.

Cut the smaller ginger into thin slices.

- I grated the ginger? - Yes.

The ginger I grated will become the gyudon?

Yes, it will.

Cooking is so wonderful!

You're exaggerating when you just grated the ginger.

This is the gyudon I made.

It looks too good to be true.

I will gladly dig in!

- Wait. - Eh?

Well, it is complete, but...

If you're going to eat it, I'd like you to eat it the best way you can.

Eat it the best way I can...

Here.

pickled vegetable

Asazuke?

Put this on top of gyudon...

- And finally... - Red ginger?

Here it is. Class President's first impact special gyudon.

Class President's First Impact Special Gyudon

This is the gyudon that I've dreamed of.

First Impact!

It's delicious.

Oh, I don't know what you said, but I got the message.

Then next, try eating some cabbage as well.

Second Impact!

I can't stop eating it, the crunchiness of the cabbage is a perfect match!

Huh?

This aroma... is this yuzu?

This aroma is from the yuzu in the asazuke, right!

What a refreshing feeling!

Huh?

Something gushed out of the bottom of the donburi... Don't tell me...

Yes, that is the broth.

Deep Impact!

So this is the rumored broth!

Class President.

Gulp it now!

That was a delicious meal.

How delicious it is!

Right?

And how ill-mannered it is.

Huh?

The immoral act of gulping down a donburi.

On top of that, the idea of mixing asazuke into the gyudon.

And then, overdid it by pouring the broth into it.

How ill-mannered it is!

So, this is the real pleasure of donburi, huh?

Ah... it's the best.

Ill-mannered... huh?

Eh?

I never thought of it that way.

Yoshida-kun?

I usually eat alone.

Mom's gone and Dad is always working late.

That's why I eat out

or make an easy-to-cook donburi.
