Thank you all very much for gathering here today!

I would now like to begin this food review training session!

Yay♪

Ahem, to explain... I, Minori Hanasato, did a really terrible job of describing what we ate during our shoot the other day!

I didn't think it was that bad.

Hehe. The way you're willing to recognize your shortcomings really is admirable.

Still, I thought you said you were going to practice doing that while having food at home.

So, I tried doing just that...

But it went so badly that my brother wouldn't stop laughing at me...

Which is why I want to work on this in secret and surprise him, Haruka and all the others!

I like your determination♪

We'll give you all the assistance we can.

Thank you so much!

So...!

I'd like to start by practicing with some sweets.

Cream puffs, eclairs, pudding...

Hehe. You brought quite a lot.

Yeah, I bought a lot of stuff because I want to get in a lot of training!

So, please listen as I start by reviewing the cream puffs!

Yes, of course♪

Now, without further...

Oh, shouldn't you say something about how they look before you start eating them?

Wait, you're right!

But what's a positive thing you can say about its appearance?

Hmm... They're a nice golden brown?

Yeah, how they turned out seems pretty important.

What else...? How fluffy they are and stuff?

Oh, good call♪

These cream puffs look very fluffy on the outside.

You could start with the outer pastry and comment about how they feel in your hand, no?

How they feel in my hand?

Yes. They look fluffy on the outside, but could be heavier than you expect because they're filled to the brim with custard.

Oh, Luka, you're a genius!

Lemme write that down.

So, how does it feel in your hand...

I-It feels...

Don't overthink it...

Just say whatever comes to mind.

Yeah, you're here to practice.

R-Right.

Then...

It's so soft and delicate...

I feel that my fingers might puncture it if I grip it too tightly...

Which means it must be filled with quite a bit of custard. It also feels a little heavy as a result, no...?

I think you're right!

And some people prefer ones with a thin, outer pastry.

R-Right!

It's the same with taiyaki! Some people prefer it thin!

Then, uhh...

Wow! You need to be careful when holding these! It feels so heavy with custard that it could burst out of the pastry at any moment!

How does that sound?!

That was great! I think that saved it♪

Yes, this seems like a better approach...

But saying that the custard is “heavy” may cause some confusion.

The custard's so heavy that...

Oh, right!

Some people might misinterpret that as the custard being too rich.

That means you just have to rephrase what you just said a little♪

Okay, then...!

It feels so dense with custard that it could burst out of the pastry at any moment!

Um...

All you did was switch out the word “heavy”.

*Gasp*

You're right...!

Giving a good food review is much more difficult than I realized...

Yes...

She hasn't even taken a bite yet.

This is all a part of her training!

We know you can do it, Minori!

Thanks! I'll keep trying!
