The latest chapter of "Shokugeki no Soma" continues the battle of Hayama and Soma. However, their bear meat battle is nearly coming to an end while another set of student chefs prepare their battle with one of the best in the school.

Chapter 189 of the popular cooking manga "Shokugeki no Soma" can be read online on Manga Stream. After the judges have completed their evaluation of the meat, they move on to the sauce starting with Hayama's dish. Just like the meat, the judges were impressed with Hayama's ability to control the Cajun spice while perfectly blending them with Juniper.

The review of Hayama's dish was so impressive that Judge Soe Nakiri's clothes immediately disintegrated. Hayama noted that his superior sense of smell will ultimately defeat Soma in the competition.

After the impressive review of Hayama's dish, the judges move on to Soma's prepared dish with its sauce. The judges were also impressed with Soma's dish but aside from Soe's clothes, the clothes of Berta and Sheila also disintegrated. Even though the disintegration of clothes is only experienced by the Nakiri clan, Soma's sauce was very impressive that Berta and Sheila experienced the same disintegration.

Soe revealed that Soma used honey and balsamic vinegar in his sauce so he could add some sweetness while binding the flavors together with the mentioned vinegar. Hayama also surmised that Soma successfully caramelized the honey to achieve the deep and distinctive flavor.

Soe deduced that Hayama's meat has an advantage while Soma's sauce also has an advantage. Berta and Sheila voted for different chefs with Soe as the difference maker. The chapter ends with Soe about to announce the winner of the competition.

The forum posts on Manga Helpers mostly points to Soma's win over Hayama. The sheer reaction of Berta and Sheila alone is an indication that Soma won the match.

But aside from Soma's win over Hayama because of the sauce, an upcoming match against the top students is coming. To fully prepared the readers, the 21st volume of the manga will feature the origin story of Eishi Tsukasa and Rindou Kobayashi.
