Clang!
The bell signaling the end rang out!
The first contestant, carrying his culinary creation, stepped out of the passage.
He was met with cheers from the entire audience.
The guest seats erupted in applause.
"Wow-wow-wow!"
"What dish has Chef Nakajima prepared? We shall see!"
Chiyoda Aichi watched as the disheveled middle-aged man approached the judging panel.
Nakajima Sei's dish was covered, completely sealing off any scent, leaving Chiyoda Aichi slightly disappointed as she looked up towards the passage.
"Chef Ujou!"
Ujou Mamie also appeared.
She was quite popular, and the cheering grew even louder.
Similarly, Ujou Mamie used a special sealed food container.
It is worth mentioning that 30 minutes before the end of the assessment, the live broadcast switched to the venue scene, cutting off the signal from the kitchen. This was a little trick by the IGO organization to whet the appetite, making the contestants' final dishes full of mystery.
"Next up is Chef Kawase—"
