Smells like Team Spirit (S02E03)

Lyrica introduces the week's focus on teamwork. In this rapid Ikouze Challenge, the chefs are paired up to craft a delectable dish using designated ingredients and traditional Japanese cooking methods. Following this, the victorious duo selects new teams of three for the Kesshou Challenge. Each group must devise a pop-up restaurant concept, presenting dishes that will face off against one another. A surprise guest judge joins the panel, and the chef whose dish falls short on the losing team must unfortunately leave the competition.
