"Can you talk about the use of bean seeds?"

"Hey! We use the sun-dried Geisha from the Emerald Manor in Panama. Because the beans themselves have a great sourness and sweetness, we hope to highlight this flavor in the later roasting."

"It's really good. I drink the sourness of oranges, the bitterness of cocoa, and the subtle sweetness of sucrose and smooth body! What's your opinion?"

"It's really amazing! I didn't expect a deep-roasted Espresso to have a fruity aroma, which is really eye-opening!"

"Actually, I have tasted quite a few Geisha from Jade Manor before, but none of them can compare to the one I drank today. I didn't expect Espresso to have such a rich taste!"

"Yes, may I ask... Are you really just a barista who has been in business for a year?"

……

Hearing the four judges' generous praise for her coffee, Sakurako's mood finally calmed down. She bowed gratefully to the judges and watched them leave. Immediately afterwards, after Sakurako cleaned up the tools she had used, she slowly returned to the rest area outside the arena.

When Yingzi left the field, the camera at the scene tracked her again. Just as she was just walking out of the competition area, a TV reporter suddenly came to her.

"Excuse me, may I ask you a few questions?"

"Hey!"

"How was your grade just now?"

"This...I don't know yet, but...it's the first time I've participated in the Japanese Barista Competition, so...it's better not to pay too much attention to the results!"

"Ah... It seems that you are still very relaxed about participating in the competition. By the way, do you represent the coffee shop?"

"Me? I'm here to participate in the competition on behalf of the Sakura no Sato Cafe in Tokyo!"

"Sakura no Sato? Wait a minute, may I ask...is that the coffee shop that Ms. Akemi Ennoji shared on Twitter before?"

"Uh... you actually know about this?"

"Really, I'm actually a fan of Miss Ennoji Akimi, and I noticed her tweet about the Sakura no Sato coffee shop before, so...you and Miss Ennoji Akimi are good. friend?"

"Hey!"

"Excuse me... Did Miss Mingmei come to cheer you up in today's competition?"

"this……"

……

"Sister Sakurako, I'm here!"

Seeing the scene of Sakurako being interviewed on the big screen, Mingmei quickly stood up from her seat and waved her hands to greet Sakurako. This scene happened to be captured by the camera that was looking for Mingmei's figure. Mingmei's figure also appeared on the big screen.

"Ah, no! It's really Miss Mingmei!"

"Miss Akimi actually came to participate in the Japanese Barista Competition!"

……

As the picture of Akimi Ennoji appeared on the screen, there was a small noise in the auditorium in the hall. And the reporters who came to interview the game quickly understood what they should do.

"Excuse me... can you accept our interview with Miss Mingmei?"

"okay!"

"Then can you come here with us, please?"

……

The reporter who interviewed Yingzi obtained Yingzi's consent, and quickly took her to the stand to find Mingmei's position. Then, after the reporter explained her thoughts, Mingmei readily agreed to the other party. requirements.

Standing in the stands of the Civic Hall, Akemi and Sakurako, who were dressed in barista uniforms, appeared in front of the camera, and the two accepted an interview from a local TV station together.

"Excuse me... Are Miss Akimi and Sakurako very good friends?"

"Hey, I usually visit Sister Yingzi's coffee shop, and I have received a lot of care from Sister Yingzi. Speaking of which, most of my knowledge about coffee comes from Sister Yingzi. Moreover, Sister Yingzi not only knows how to make coffee. Delicious coffee, always very kind to guests, we all like Sakurako!"

"So Akimi-chan thinks that Miss Sakurako has hope of winning the championship this time?"

"This... Actually, no matter whether Sister Yingzi can win the championship or not, she will always be the best in my heart. Come on, Sister Yingzi!"

Hearing that Akimi cheered for herself so sincerely, Sakurako and Akimi couldn't help hugging kindly in front of the camera, and unexpectedly interviewed the female star Akimi who came to Hakodate to watch the game, and the local Hakodate who participated in reporting the game. TV reporters are naturally satisfied. Just after they said goodbye to Akimi and Sakurako, the referee team of the competition announced the list of players who entered the next round.

"The fifth group's first-place contestant is Ms. Sakurako Sakurai from Tokyo Sakura no Sato Cafe. Congratulations to Sakura no Sato for entering the second round..."

"Ah...Sister Sakura has entered the semi-finals, it's really amazing!"

"Yeah, but Tokai from 100% Arabica Cafe and Izaki from Maruyama Coffee have also entered the semi-finals. The next game can only be more difficult!"

After the results of the first round of competition were announced, the selected players returned to the competition venue and waited for the next round of selection! The next part will test the barista’s ability to make milk coffee. As the most popular product in coffee shops, the production level of milk coffee is undoubtedly the best way to measure the overall strength of a coffee shop~lightnovelpub.net~ After all Compared with the bitter taste of Espresso, most consumers who go to coffee shops still prefer drinks such as milk coffee. Because of this, there are many types of milk coffee, including the well-known cappuccino, caramel macchiato, latte and other coffees are the representatives of milk coffee. However, as a professional barista competition, the organizing committee will naturally choose the cappuccino invented at the same time as the espresso machine as the test of the second round.

When the 10 contestants who had been selected for the knockout round returned to their bar, the scene immediately switched to Donghai Keshi, who represented the 100% Arabica Cafe. You must know that he is the champion of the World Latte Art Competition. Since it is the champion of the coffee latte art competition, the level of making milk coffee is naturally international. And this time, can Sakurako successfully pass the test and enter the final stage?

"Then I announce that the second round of the Japanese Barista Competition has officially started!"

Following the host's order, Sakurako took out another batch of coffee beans that was completely different from the previous espresso, and then put it into the grinder. Compared with making espresso, the coffee beans used to make cappuccino focus on highlighting the caramelized sweetness of the coffee itself. But before that, Sakurako still has to start with making Espresso. In addition to the taste, the barista's latte art is also something that the judges need to focus on.
