Manga writer and essayist extraordinaire Tetsu Kariya graduated from prestigious Tokyo University.

“The Chairman ignores the individual personalities of his workers and uses them like cattle or horses. That's the basic principle of capitalism, you know.”
Tetsu Kariya, The Joy of Rice

“The sweet taste, the crunchiness... it's the core of the cabbage chopped into thin sticks!"
"Oh! And the sauce on it is puréed raw tomato!!
I've had this tomato before too!!"
"A... fully ripe tomato grown using the Ryoken farming method..."
"It's amazing! This cabbage core goes way beyond a unique dish--- it's incredible !"
"It's like we'd forgotten how spectacular the taste of nature can really be! A cabbage as good as this merits a cooking method that highlights the quality of the vegetable.”
Tetsu Kariya, Vegetables

“You're going to make the broth for the ramen with katsuobushi?"
"The chicken you used to make the broth for the ramen is a broiler, right? In that case, it's better to make it with katsuobushi."
"But the ramen's going to end up smelling like fish."
"Don't worry about it.
I mince some garlic, chives, shiitake mushrooms, and onion...
... and fry them together with ground pork in sesame oil.
Then I add some hatchō miso that's been mixed with sake...
... to make miso-flavored mince meat.
I pour the katsuobushi dashi onto the noodles. I've given the dashi a light soy sauce flavor.
Then I place the meat on top...
... and sprinkle a lot of chopped green onion on it...
... and you've got Oishinbo-style miso ramen!"
"Wow! It really does go well with the katsuobushi! It doesn't smell fishy at all!"
"The scents of the sesame oil, garlic and miso...
... complement the scent of the katsuobushi nicely!
Ramen broth is usually made from chicken and pork bones.
I never thought of using fish!”
Tetsu Kariya, Ramen and Gyoza
