Nineteen years ago today (10/10/1993), the first episode of Ryouri no Tetsujin aired on Fuji TV in Japan. To commemorate this birthday, I’m posting an episode that is very special for a couple of reasons. First, this is an 85 minute “no-cut” episode. That means it is 85 minutes long and shows the entire 60 minutes of cooking. I don’t believe I have any other “no-cut” episodes up at this time, although more are coming soon. The second reason this episode is special is the Iron Chef doing battle. Most fans of Iron Chef outside of Japan have seen only one battle (110 – Chicken) featuring the first Iron Chef French Yutaka Ishinabe. Of course, it was the only battle he lost. (Thanks, Food Network.) Now is your chance to see him do battle again. There are many more “new” episodes to be posted in the next couple of weeks, including a never before seen special.
315OA – Karei (Flounder) Battle – Yutaka Ishinabe vs. Tomoyuki Sawaguchi – 04/14/1995
This episode is in Japanese with NO English subtitles. This episode is in two parts.
This episode is a “no-cut” episode that lasts 85 minutes and features the full 60 minutes of cooking time.
I have uploaded this episode in the format it was received (.MPG). The zipped file containing both parts of the episode is a very large file (5.5GB). I have also uploaded the usual smaller .avi versions for those without the space/bandwidth for the larger file.
ATTN: There is a problem with the audio in the .avi files. I will have to fix it tonight when I get home. Sorry about that, everybody. I have re-encoded the avi files and uploaded them again. The Watch Video links and Download links for the smaller .avi files should work properly now.
