The prelude is over, and the taste-off begins! Matsushige deals the first blow with charcoal-grilled chicken. The mood is right, but what about taste?

It’s Korea’s turn to present a charcoal-grilled dish. Si-kyung's delectable duck transports Matsushige. It's so good, a new recipe is in the works!

A savory battle of pork bone broth commences. It's tonkotsu ramen versus sundae-gukbap! Matsushige goes first, but his tastes clash with Si-kyung’s.

Following Japan's tonkotsu is Korea's sundae-gukbap. Si-kyung reveals his personal favorite as Matsushige gets creative using a secret ingredient.

The two foodies find themselves in a Korean-style Chinese restaurant. What is Matsushige's preference for eating tangsuyuk, jajangmyeon and jjamppong?

If Korea has jjajangmyeon, then Japan has yakisoba! Matsushige's favorite place in Osaka has the most magical okonomiyaki and smoky-flavored yakisoba.

The two foodies convene at the romantic Hangang Park, indulging in homemade kimbap, delicious ramyeon and takeout food. This date is going swimmingly.
