“Leaf Mix” Reporter
Ryota Ueno
A second-generation reporter for Leaf's official YouTube channel, "Leaf Mix," which broadcasts the charms of Kyoto's "towns," "things," and "people." Recently, I started studying to become a Japanese tea instructor.

2.Introduction…

A day in July. We were planning to go camping together, but it was pouring rain outside. Ueno-kun doesn't want to waste his precious time with the director.
At that moment, I suddenly thought of something.
``There are delicious-looking dishes that appear every time in 'Oyaji Camp Meal,' and the director also loves cooking, right?Why don't you make Weiwei fried rice and try it out?'' he suggested.

``I like to eat, but I almost never cook.When it comes to Chinese cuisine, I think the king is the best.My wife cooks it for me at home.I've lived my life without seeing the point in cooking for myself.Fried rice... I've made it several times for work, but...'' he said nervously as soon as he started.Leaf8/September issueDirector Masugi who carefully reads how to make fried rice published in.

Contrary to Ueno-kun's expectations, the director turned out to be an amateur when it comes to cooking.
Ueno-kun learns of a surprising side of the coach and becomes convinced of victory. I couldn't help but give a peace sign.

3.The first offense is the coach

The director overturns the image that campers = wild people, but he is proud of the fact that he can crack an egg with one hand.

"Look! I practiced this when I was in elementary school" lol.

However, with the frying pan right in front of him, Director Masugi takes a bit of a timid approach and puts in the eggs.

"Don't let the balls stick together. I'll change them to chopsticks."

The director switched to chopsticks and tried to shake the frying pan, but...the warning sound of the IH heater cuts through the silence with a merciless beeping sound.

The cooking process is nearing its end...The director says, "Is this how much Weiwei is? Wow, how much is it?" and is also careless about Weiwei.

Mr. Ueno puts pressure on Mr. Masugi, who is inevitable to make fried rice for the first time.

"Director! Are you using chopsticks for fried rice~?"

Director Masugi doesn't take such pressure too seriously.
With the best smile, "I made it!"

"Oh! Best performance ever!"

4.Next is Ueno-kun, who is on the offensive line.

The second generation was already showing off their leeway as they skillfully chopped green onions and talked about Kujo green onions.

With a calm expression on his face, Ueno-kun proudly chose a fried chicken instead of chopsticks.

"Director, this is what you need to make fried rice, this"

When the heat is just right, keep the heat on high and use the strength of the heat to mix together the eggs and eggs, then add about 2 spoons of WEY-WEY to the frying pan!

“Hmm, when you fry it in WEY-WEY, it smells really good.”

It's best to keep an eye on the frying pan and wait with a strong gaze.
"The egg coating is already formed around the rice, so it's OK."
At the very end, I sprinkled it with soy sauce...

"It's done! It's so delicious! It tastes just like always!"

5.It's time to eat!

It wasn't the mysterious man who suddenly appeared and said, ``I'll be the judge!'' but Naoto Sumiyoshi, the creator of WEYWEY and the owner and chef of Sumiyoshi Private House, who was asked to be the judge and flew in during his lunch break.

Learned the essence of Sichuan cuisine at a Sichuan restaurant in Kobe, mastered Cantonese cuisine at famous hotels in Kobe and Osaka, such as the Westin Miyako Hotel Kyoto, and became independent in 2018.

Chef Sumiyoshi begins by checking the scent.

“It doesn’t look any different, either,” said Chef Sumiyoshi with a wry smile.

"Hmm, I thought I'd be able to decide right away after eating it, but to be honest, this is even. It's a formidable all-purpose seasoning, WEY-WEY. But that's no way to judge..."

Chef Sumiyoshi finally made up his mind in front of the passionate gazes of the two.
Which one is the winner?

In the tense atmosphere, director Masugi depressed, saying, "I don't want to hear it."

6.Result announcement~!

Chef Sumiyoshi said, "This is it!"

Director Masugi expresses his joy with his body, saying, “Okay!”

"Gakshi... I was confident. What was the reason for my defeat?"

"This time, we focused on scent. Yes, the scent is the key to fried rice. The director's fried rice had a strong aroma."

"Thanks to WEY-WEY for this victory! Whether you're a beginner, low heat, or IH, you can do anything as long as you have WEY-WEY. I'll take it to my next camping trip with my daughter."

I would rather feed someone else than eat myself. What happens next for such kind Akio? Season 2 of ``Oyaji Camp Meal'', which is being built in the head of director Masugi who is stuffing his mouth with WEY-WEY fried rice, will begin filming in October and is scheduled to be released by the end of the year. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of food the main character will cook and for what kind of people.
