When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the Warring States period.

I had time slipped from Heisei and on top of that I even lost my memory.

That me became the chef of Oda Nobunaga and somehow managed to survive until today.

But now we're falling in a crisis of life and death.

That is...

The Anti-Nobunaga network.

An alliance against Nobunaga centered around shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki...

who are trying to take Nobunaga's life.

To break that network, Nobunaga set Mt. Hiei on fire.

As a result of that he is being aimed at by the Tiger of Kai.

As fast as the wind.

As quiet as the forest.

As daring as fire.

Immovable as the mountain.

Fuurinkazan!

Kai

The man who was said to be the strongest military commander of the Warring States started making his move. Kai

The man who was said to be the strongest military commander of the Warring States started making his move.

His name... Takeda Shingen.

A very terrible incident has happened.

The barbarian Nobunaga set the holy Mt. Hiei on fire and killed the women and children.

As you would expect, this evil deed hurts this Matsunaga's heart too.

I can't sleep at night either.

What did you say?

Father, we should raise an army right away...

It may be just for form's sake, but did you forget that we and Oda are allied?

You can't speak that lightly about raising an army.

A French chef from the Heisei period one day suddenly time slipped to the Warring States period...

and of all things, became the cook of Oda Nobunaga.

This is the grand story of that cook trying to survive the Warring States with Heisei cuisine.

Episode 3: Nobunaga's chef gets kidnapped! Takeda Shingen gets infuriated by Heisei cuisine!?

Have you seen Nobunaga's evil act at Mt. Hiei with your own eyes? Episode 3: Nobunaga's chef gets kidnapped! Takeda Shingen gets infuriated by Heisei cuisine!?

Have you seen Nobunaga's evil act at Mt. Hiei with your own eyes?

No.

Katsuyori.

Starting a war out of anger and resentment is sheer stupidity.

Setting Mt. Hiei on fire is to lure me out.

If I respond and move, then I will just fall in Nobunaga's trap.

To lure you out?

Nobunaga is a man who doesn't do something if there isn't anything to gain.

First we remove the fat of the red meat and cut it in thin pieces.

Rub this meat in salt, miso supernatant and sake and let it soak for a while.

Then you put the meat on a stick like this.

If you hang this at a high place in your house and let it dry in the shadow...

then your dried meat jerky will be done in 10 days.

Jaaky?

Ken-san, is that different from pickling it in salt?

It is. If you dry it like this...

then the enzymes in the meat will be stimulated...

and the glutamic acids and inosinic acids which give the good taste will increase.

Inoshishi-san?

Never mind. This is the finished product.

Give it a try.

Delicious!

The more I chew, the more flavor comes out!

If you finish it, then Oyakata-sama will buy it up for his food provisions.

That's perfect for times when we can't work on the fields.

Let's give it a try!

Thank for everything.

If we do the compost thing like Ken told, then we will have an abundant harvest!

Make some delicious jerky together.

Right now, Uesugi and Houjou are behind us.

Do you think we can have a proper fight with Oda with those guys after us?

But right now, together with the Azai-Asakura alliance...

and the Ishiyama Hongan-ji led by Kennyo-dono...

we can surround Oda.

Above all, the shogun is hoping for you to raise an army.

Who will command that alliance?

If everyone moves on its own, then it's the same as playing a game of go with my eyes closed!

Nobunaga wants a war.

To him, the only way to beat this alliance...

is by war.

He is thinking one or two steps ahead.

As expected of the Tiger of Kai, Takeda Shingen.

He won't act as Nobunaga planned.

Fuurinkazan. Now I'm a mountain.

The best plan is to surround him so he can't get away.

When the time is right, I will move at once.

Like the wind.

In that case, he might not move an inch.

I understand.

I will tell the shogun.

My, oh my.

Persuading that shogun is the hardest thing there is.

Matsunaga. - Yes?

I got a letter from Kennyo-dono. It seems that Nobunaga has a strange cook.

Are talking about Ken?

Ken?

A mysterious man who makes very strange food and is being favored by Oda Nobunaga.

That man... What would you do about him?

Well...

To you, Shingen-sama...

he is a man who shouldn't say alive.

I will return to being an insect in Nobunaga's hand.

Your pardon.

An insect, being humble again...

Katsuyori.

Matsunaga Hisahide, you can't think light about that man.

Even among insects, there are those who eat entrails...

and can even make a lion fall.

I am becoming old and I don't have time.

I can't wait for Shingen to move.

This Matsunaga Hisahide, will stir up this world of wars even more.

I will take Nobunaga's head and become the ruler.

Takeda residence

Akiyama, I want you to investigate something.

That cook of Nobunaga, Ken or something.

Your will!

Gifu castle

Natsu-san, what is wrong?

I have the feeling that someone is constantly looking at me.

What do you mean?

It's nothing. Sorry. It must be my imagination.

Parmentier style jerky and taro.

Dried meat, huh?

The taste spreads the more I chew it.

Nobunaga-sama, there's a rebel.

A rebel?

Could it be Akechi Mitsuhide?

Matsunaga Hisahide-dono has joined forces with Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and has most likely raised an army.

Matsunaga-san?

In Kawachi?

Yes. - Matsunaga, you...

Shibata, Sakuma, go to Sakai!

Matsunaga. Did that old man betray us?

It seems so.

In the third year of the Genki Era, Matsunaga Hisahide attacked the castle of Oda's ally Hatakeyama in Kawachi.

But because Nobunaga sent reinforcements right away...

Matsunaga had to flee and barricaded himself in the Shigisan castle in Yamato.

Tono, you're so busy being on Oda's side and on the shogun's side.

Exactly whose ally are you?

If you talk too much, then I will have to rip that cute mouth of yours apart.

Whose ally I am?

I am my own ally.

Well... Takeda Shingen!

Move!

World, rage even more!

Give me the chance to become the ruler!

Did you investigate that cook of Nobunaga?

Yes. As rumored...

he seems to be a man who makes unusual food.

But the stories about him being involved in the conquering of Ise, the battle of Anegawa, is absurd.

Katsuyori! Don't disappoint me!

War doesn't always follow the proper method.

You can't say that it's absurd and therefore didn't happen.

Akiyama, there is something I want you to do.

Tell me.

Get rid of Nobunaga's cook.

Are you the cook Ken?

Who are these guys?

What do they want from Ken?

Answer me.

That's right. I'm Ken!

What about Ken?

What's that?

Oh well.

Inoue-san, you can't sleep here.

Ken, you're safe?

That's good.

Was that voice perhaps Natsu?

Natsu-san...

Is this Ken?

He looks different from what I heard.

He said so himself. - I see.

Hurry!

Natsu-san...

Natsu-san, did you pretend to be me to protect me?

Natsu-san.

Give back Natsu-san!

Natsu?

Who are you? - I'm Ken!

What?

Translation/Sync: Super Saiyan

That Natsu was taken away and Ken disappeared too?

Yes. It appears that Ken was their target.

O-tono-sama, what will you do?

Will you leave behind your precious Ken?

Why is Oyakata-sama interested in a mere cook without a weapon?

Is it because he's Oda Nobunaga's cook?

This is some surprise.

5 years ago This is some surprise.

I heard that within the group of Takeda vassals, you who are called the raging bull... 5 years ago

took care of the objections of the other vassals and pushed for the marriage of our Kimyomaru and your Takeda's Matsuhime. 5 years ago

took care of the objections of the other vassals and pushed for the marriage of our Kimyomaru and your Takeda's Matsuhime.

It is as you said.

If it is to strengthen the bond between these two families...

As proof? Do you think that else I would betray Shingen-dono?

That time Akiyama Nobutomo pushed for the marriage because he wanted proof that Nobunaga wouldn't betray Shingen.

Nowadays we would say, to guarantee.

You are a man who thinks about his Lord, don't you?

Then that man, Oda Nobunaga, personally entered Kai.

You have come a long way.

It is natural for me to greet you after giving your young lady to our Kimyomaru.

And I wanted to see the face of the Tiger of Kai for once.

Please accept this.

Think of it as an engagement gift.

I heard that you are using gold to set up a currency system.

It's not much, but please use this too.

That's when I thought...

that this alliance would last long.

Oyakata-sama Takeda Shingen brings to mind the grand earth, while...

that man, Oda Nobunaga, is the fire who even burns the heavens.

Those don't go together.

I have to kill this cook.

But why does Nobunaga have this man by his side?

Why is Oyakata-sama interested in this man?

What will you do about Ken?

What army has been moving near Gifu?

The Takeda army in East-Mino.

It seems that Akiyama Nobutomo has separated from the main body.

If a subordinate of Takeda has taken him, then he will be dead by now.

Akiyama Nobutomo. He's a cunning man.

If Akiyama is his opponent, then Ken should show him what he's worth.

I see.

Because he is a cunning man, if he sees the worth of Ken...

Natsu-san!

Did they wake up? Put them down.

Akiyama-sama...

Let me hear your final words.

Who are you guys?

I am Takeda's Akiyama Nobutomo.

Takeda?

Takeda? Is he a retainer of Takeda Shingen?

Will he kill me? Will I die here?

No, wait. If he wanted to kill me, then he would've done it sooner.

Why hasn't he killed me yet?

What is he hesitating?

He should know that I am a cook.

Then the thing he is hesitating about is my cooking.

Cook! Let me cook something for you.

What?

This is all I can do now. This is all I can do to save Natsu.

I will make the thing you want.

What did you say? - What foolish thing are you saying?

No, it's fine.

Make the thing I want. - Akiyama-sama.

Unfasten the rope. - Yes.

So there's only dried boiled rice and salt?

Don't run away. If you do, then I will kill your companion.

I won't run. Don't touch her.

Her? So it's a woman?

No wonder I thought she was so soft.

This way Natsu-san will get killed.

I have to do something.

Think. What should I make? What does he want?

If I remember correctly, Takeda Shingen dies a natural death.

Then there is only one thing that he could want.

Come on. Warring States cuisine.

Thank you for waiting.

Chinese style... Ming style rice porridge with seri and frog.

What is Ming style?

Different than in our country, the rice is smashed and it makes the rice porridge easier to digest.

It has become a dish that is kind for the body.

I see.

What a rich taste.

It pierces through my intestines.

The seri lowers your blood pressure and has a good effect on the stomach.

The frog fat is very nutritious and improves your immune strength.

Ever since the ancient times, the Ming has used food as a medicine for sick people.

Medicine and food have the same origin, it means that medicine and daily food are equally important for a healthy body.

A well balanced meal can prevent diseases.

What are you saying? - Are you making fun of us?

Wait!

Certainly, this man is not an average cook.

If this is not good, then I will get killed.

Ken.

Will you come to Kai with me?

Akiyama-sama!

Please.

If I refuse... Will you kill me?

She... Promise me that you won't harm Natsu-san.

Former head of the kitchen, Inoue Kyonosuke...

has made this dish with confidence.

Funazushi, futoni and shikitsubo.

Boring.

Just old-fashioned food which I'm tired of.

It might seem old-fashioned, but I'm confident about the taste.

Take it back.

But with Ken gone, only this Inoue Kyonosuke can work as head...

Didn't you hear me? I told you to take it back.

Yes!

You used to eat this before...

What do you want? - I wonder if you would be...

in such a bad mood if would get taken away.

Ken will definitely come back.

You think so, right?

It doesn't matter to me.

It's been a while since I've had such a good sleep!

Natsu-san!

Akiyama Nobutomo has come back from Mino! Open the gate!

Open the gate!

Where is this?

This is Kai. The residence of Takeda Shingen.

Takeda? Isn't he the enemy?

It's fine. Make sure you stay close to me.

Fuurinkazan.

I have seen that in jidaigeki.

What are you talking about?

Is that a woman?

Yes.

What?

This person...

This is the person who led the strongest army in the Warring States period, Takeda Shingen.

But he doesn't look good.

Kill him.

Kill him.

Is what I ordered you, didn't I? Akiyama.

But Oyakata-sama...

It is a waste to kill this cook.

Did you lose your mind, Akiyama? Are you saying that Oda's head of the kitchen...

should be the cook of our Takeda clan?

No, as Oyakata-sama's medicine man.

Medicine man?

Medicine man? Medicine? A doctor?

I am very sorry for my impoliteness.

Recently, Oyakata-sama hasn't been eating well.

This man Ken is familiar with the Ming thought about cooking.

He can improve your physical condition.

I thought that he could make a dish that would work as a medicine.

Shut up, Akiyama!

Are you treating my father as a sick person?

That's right. Signs of his death should already be showing up by Takeda Shingen.

Everyone has noticed that.

Akiyama. - Yes.

You went against my orders. Are you prepared?

So you're prepared?

Fine.

Ken or something, make an appropriate meal for me for tomorrows breakfast.

Father! - But...

if the meal isn't appropriate...

Then you...

that woman...

and Akiyama will immediately get killed.

Ken.

I believe in you.

I understand. I will cook for you.

I will borrow your kitchen.

Let's go. - Wait.

I will take that woman as a hostage.

You might run away or poison the food.

If you do so, then this woman will lose her life!

No...

It's fine. I told you I believe in you, right?

Natsu-san...

You won't lose.

It seems that Akiyama Nobutomo hasn't returned to the main body, but went back to Kai.

So Ken was captured by Shingen?

Yes, most likely.

Ken is a dangerous man who can be troublesome for me, just like Matsunaga.

If he gets in the hands of the enemy...

Is Nobunaga-sama telling me to kill Ken?

Kaede.

Tell this to Ken.

Yes.

What do you think?

How about that one?

What are you doing?

Oh my, welcome back, O-tono-sama

What did you call me for?

Are you planning on killing Ken before he changes sides to Takeda?

Sooner or later Ken will...

He will bring a catastrophe to the Oda clan.

That's when I will kill him.

As expected, O-tono-sama. I will rely on you.

A millstone?

There's so many other kinds.

Kai is surrounded by mountains and there is not much space for paddy fields.

That's why there are a lot of fields with barley, wheat, buckwheat and cereals instead.

I can use that millstone to grind the barley and use it in the dish.

Father, that man is the head of Oda's kitchen.

If we employ him, then it means that we stole him from the Oda clan.

Don't be in such a rush.

Who said that we would employ him? - But...

It's easy to kill him.

But I wanted to know.

Why did Akiyama bring that man along?

And...

why he is so important to Nobunaga.

Flour... Something with flour?

A galette of buckwheat flour?

A pizza with animal fat instead of cheese?

Vegetables as topping.

If Shingen is interested in the Ming, then a Peking duck-like dish should be good too.

No, wait.

His face seemed really pale, so...

That's it. He must be used to eating that. It has to be!

Come on. Warring States cuisine.

It's from Nobunaga-sama.

Death?

What does this mean?

What is Nobunaga trying to tell me?

Is he telling me to die?

No, is he perhaps telling me to kill Shingen?

There's no way I can do that.

No.

If I leave it like this, then Shingen's illness will get worse and he will collapse.

And he will die sooner or later...

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

No, that's not good.

If I don't make an appropriate meal for Shingen right now, then I will kill Natsu-san.

Change into that.

Hurry up!

Cooking is a thing that should make the people smile.

It's supposed to make then happy.

No matter who, I will make something like that.

Thank you for waiting.

What are you doing? Hurry up!

Yes.

I brought a dish that is appropriate for you.

This is it.

What is this?

Is this appropriate for my father? Don't make a fool of us!

Please give it a try.

It's a dish from the Ming. Noodle soup.

It's just udon without other ingredients!

Please give it a try. - You!

Stop! - Wait, Katsuyori.

You should eat too.

If this is not good, then it's the end.

I have to believe in my own skills... My own cooking.

I'm Nobunaga's chef!

This is a supreme dish of head of the kitchen substitute Inoue Kyonosuke.

It's a big ham.

Please try it.

Do you think this old-fashioned dish is appropriate for me?

Don't kill me!

I will make something different right away!

So Shingen has taken away Ken?

That Ken, this time he's gonna get killed for sure.

What a pitiful man!

That's what happens when you serve Nobunaga!

This is...

I thought it was just udon.

How delicious.

These noodles are as thin as silk thread.

I have never seen noodles like this.

I made it together with eggs.

I made the dough thin and even and cut it up in equal pieces.

This soup has a rich taste too.

I have never tasted it before, but yet it feels so familiar.

I used a local specialty from Kai, cooked abalone.

The effect of abalone is that it increases energy and improves your immune system and liver.

That's not all, right?

I can taste pheasant.

You noticed? As expected!

As you said.

Besides pheasant, I cooked it with dried fish, mushrooms and onions.

It's rich of glucosamine and chondroitin.

Gurucosamin and condoroichin?

Anyhow, there are a lot of things in there that are good for the body.

Did you use that many things?

You can't won't know it when you look at it.

That's not all.

By looking at Shingen-sama's face...

I thought that the functioning of your internals had gotten bad.

So even without directly eating food that is good for your digestion...

the nutrients will remain in the soup that has been cooked well.

That noodle soup is something your body wants.

It's an appropriate meal for you.

I see.

Splendid! Bring me another one.

I refuse.

Do you know who you're talking to?

Ken!

As I said before. Shingen-sama's internals have gotten worse.

Eating too much is like poison.

Being moderate in eating is the main principle of food medicine.

Akiyama.

Prepare a house for Ken and Natsu.

Amazing.

Are you really giving us this amazing house?

Because you're a precious cook.

Cook?

Make delicious things for Oyakata-sama.

I see... Because I saved his life...

I am now Takeda Shingen's cook.

Shouldn't you kill Ken before he changes sides to Takeda?

To you, Ken will sooner or later...

No, he will bring a catastrophe to the Oda clan.

What is Nobunaga telling me to do?

What should I do?

The Heisei chef poisons Shingen!?

There's only one way to stop Shingen.

In Shingen's food...

The Heisei cook poisons Takeda Shingen!? In Shingen's food...

Do you want to protect Nobunaga? In your heart you are still Oda's vassal. The Heisei cook poisons Takeda Shingen!?

Do you want to protect Nobunaga? In your heart you are still Oda's vassal.

Fuurinkazan! - Nobunaga-sama!

Oda Nobunaga vs Takeda Shingen
