"Vegetables Are Perfect" - Vegetable Enthusiast Tomokazu Seki Criticizes the Modern Day Decline in Vegetable Consumption!? "Summer is Here! Let's Feast on Fresh Vegetables Special" Event Held

Following this, vibrant summer vegetables like "Bloom Cucumbers," "Romaine Lettuce," "Yanaka Ginger," and "Manganji Peppers" were introduced one after another. Among them, the "Gold Rush," known as the king of sweet corn sweeter than fruit, had the duo's excitement soaring due to its surprising sweetness.

Seki, who loves corn so much that he even grows it at home, exclaimed, "This is a high-end fruit!" "The moment it touches your teeth, the deliciousness hits you!" in excitement. Kawashima, too, quivered with delight and praised it as "the most delicious thing I've ever had!"

Furthermore, Seki boldly declared, "The corn silk is tasty too!" and took a bite of it. Kawashima, though hesitant, tried it as well and was surprised, saying, "Sweet!" enjoying this newfound discovery.

Lastly, the segment moved to creating an "improvised original salad" using the vegetables introduced so far. Kawashima, tearing the vegetables with his hands and cutting them into large, bold pieces, elicited a wry smile from Kinoshita, who commented, "That's dynamic..." filling the studio with laughter. A fresh salad finished with Kinoshita's recommended white balsamic vinegar and olive oil was completed, and Seki commented, "Mmm, delicious! The ingredients complement each other, forming a complete dish!" Kawashima, too, smiled contentedly, saying, "Fresh vegetables are delicious. The best!"

Having fully enjoyed the "vegetable full course," Kawashima, now a complete fan of fresh vegetables, declared, "This is a happy episode!" "The charm of vegetables was perfectly conveyed. I'm feeling the happiness of eating vegetables," advocating the allure of vegetables with a beaming smile as the program concluded.
