What makes this episode a rare and special treat for current Iron Chef fans is that it comes from the time before Iron Chef was aired on Food Network. It was recorded from one of the local stations broadcasting the show. It is in Japanese WITH English subtitles. I know you will enjoy being able to experience this rare episode not shown in North America in over 10 years.
There are two options for viewing this episode. The pop-up player will use the usual divx encoded file. This smaller, lower quality file can also be downloaded directly using the “Download File” option. Also in the download menu this time is an option to download a higher quality VOB file (approx. 0.9GB). (You can play the VOB file in VLC Player.)

While you are waiting for the episode to finish downloading, take a moment to visit my friend Kim’s new Scentsy site. There is also a link on the left side of the page. I have some of their products in the Iron Chef Collection office (OK, it’s just my living room :)) but I really like them.
After a long absence, I have returned with a new episode for you. More should follow before next weekend.
The challenger is the grandson of a very famous chef who specialized in Shanghai cuisine. He was trained by his father and became a head chef at the age of 32. He is said to be the number one young chef in Yokohama Chinatown.
