R to L (Japanese Style)
As part of the celebrations for its 100th anniversary, the publishers of the Tozai News have decided to commission the creation of the 'Ultimate Menu," a model meal embodying the pinnacle of Japanese cuisine. This all-important task has been entrusted to journalist Shiro Yamaoka, an inveterate cynic who possesses no initiative, but does have an incredibly refined palate and an encyclopedic knowledge of food.Each volume of Oishinbo follows Yamaoka and his colleagues through another adventure on their quest for the Ultimate Menu. Now, the best stories from the hundred-plus volume series have been selected and compiled into A la Carte editions, arranged by subject.
Noodles are an integral part of world cuisine, from East (pad thai) to West (lasagna), refined (lobster fettuccine) to humble (mac n' cheese). But few noodle dishes evoke as much passion, ignite as much debate, or inspire such loyal devotees as ramen does in Japan. At first it seems like a simple thing: a bowl of noodles in broth with toppings. But as Yamaoka discovers in this volume, sometimes the simplest things are the best—and the hardest to perfect. Starting from scratch, with the flour to make the noodles and the meat to make the broth, he embarks a mission to find "The Soul of Ramen."

Oishinbo: Ramen and Gyoza: A la Carte
Well, I gotta say....After just finishing the manga about Sake THIS volume was a very, very light read....I was almost disappointed at how light this book was because the Sake volume was SO educational. I mean all of the Oishinbo volumes teach you things about various food/drink but like I said this felt very light on....Maybe, it's incase you have a hangover from all the sake trying that they didn't want to sozzle your brain with too much info!! Haha
This is also where the storyline becomes a bit blurred...Unlike the earlier volumes it becomes more apparent that this volume has been pasted together from the original mangas. Meaning the personal storylines are actually getting in the way because they are "mangled" together and things don't make complete sense. Personally, I think it would of been better if they had just released the full storyline translated rather than it being pieced together.
Anways, this manga will make your mouth water as you learn/read about ramen, other noodle dishes and gyoza. As always the plot line is fairly basic and it usually becomes a show down between Shiro and his father..They try to best each other. What is refreshing is things don't always go the way either of them want! However, the father is always a prick! You sometimes feel like shouting at the pages, telling him to give Shiro a break but you know it'll never happen.
