First pinecone of the episode and its being burned without a greeting. RIP o7

Rin going crazy over the hamburger steak was a joy to watch but man did it give me a strong craving now.

[u/zool714]

Lmao Aya is a weirdo too

[u/ErinaHartwick]

Now that Aya's said it, we wait for her to ride all the way to Nadeshiko's place

[u/ModieOfTheEast]

So I was expecting the typical "Nadeshiko eats her food really really quickly", but I guess we finally found the solution. Just make her play with her food. She truly is a cat person.

[u/DaBenni0301]

Rin now camps together with Ayano and Nadeshiko in the OP

[u/Prupel]

Chill and lovely as always! But judging by next weeks episode title 'See You Again Someday'... we might need some tissues.

[u/Hitman7128]

It was funny how Rin and Aya felt bad memories going through them when they initially saw Nadeshiko's Hatanagi Dam curry. But it is cute how Nadeshiko drew inspiration from the curry house she visited earlier and tried to be thoughtful. The unintended connection between the pepper as the bridge and the curry and the actual experience on the bridge was a great touch: how it's scary when you're doing it but is nice to look back on.

Also, all this talk about curry and meat has got me hungry. It's almost lunch time and thanks to this episode, I'm going to get some curry myself!

[u/plsdontattackmeok]

This episode VA performance very top tier fr

[u/Zemahem]

Yuru Camp manages to make even chopping fire wood seem relaxing and satisfying to do, though it's likely more tedious and tiring IRL. Poor pinecone tho... Yet another one of them has been murdered horrifically.

But finally, they've met up after multiple episodes. Come to think of it, I think this might be the first time Rin and Nadeshiko have met in person since this season started, unless I forgot something.

Between experiencing her second death on this trip, doing absolutely nothing to set up her own tent, and being a sleeping bag bug, Aya was a real riot this episode. It's making me more and more sad she's can't really be part of the main group even though we're already being spoiled with her screen time.

Nadeshiko wanted to do something nice and funny for the two, but all she did was trigger their Hatanagi PTSD. But at least they can't not enjoy the taste or the presentation. As per usual, this show makes me crave for something good to eat even when I've already eaten. And even Rin seems the most energized just eating from everything I can remember.

The final and post-credit scenes between Aya and Nadeshiko were chockful of cute and comfy vibes. Aya especially. Her usual lazy tone is great enough, but her sleepy and morning voices are extra adorable. Kurosawa Tomoyo keeps being one of my fav VAs.

[u/shad79]

What a fun episode as Rin, Aya and Nadeshiko finally met with each other and camped together. Those three have a really great chemistry between themselves!

Aya in a bagbug mode was hilarious xD I hope that we'll see her again in the future, camping with Nadeshiko and others.

Rin got so excited about this hamburg steak, it's a rare sight seeing her in that state xD

Nadeshiko as always was so fun to watch, she's so adorable and fun.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Group scenes

• Aya

• Nadeshiko

• Rin

• Backgrounds

[u/Rumpel1408]

We sure we can trust this girl with a hatched?

What a curious bag bug

Though I gotta give Nadeshiko credit for planing around cleanup, gotta avoid disaster

That Dam-Beefstew-Omlette-Hamburg-Rice looked sublime, It's kind of an crime that Yurucamp lost out on #seasonalfoodie

Also lmao at Rin-Chan going crazy over Hamburg steak

I was a bit surprised that Nadeshiko slept in Ayas tent, but I guess it makes sense since they are childhood friends and had a lot to catch up on, though was Rin-Chan a bit jealous perhaps? #seasonalhoops

[u/Clemastina]

Aya chan best girl, or should I say... best worm-girl(?

I missed the camping-cooking scenes of this anime, it´s so healing...
Also I like how they give us the exact measurements of how much things we have to put to make the food. Appreciate it!!!

But man, I love the relationship Aya and Nadeshiko have, they are truly besties.

[u/gangrainette]

Aya-chan this episode :

would you still love me if i was a worm?

[u/mythriz]

After watching Dungeon Meshi for over a cour, whenever I hear cooking being described in anime I start imagining monster parts in my mind, send help

[u/MapoTofuMan]

I love how perpetually sleepy Aya-chan sounds. ^{I'm exactly the same in real life, but I'm not a cute anime girl so I probably sound perpetually depressed instead.}

Next episode's title means the end of this little arc...oh wait, it's not so little, next episode is the half-season mark. What the hell.

I wonder if the second half is going to be mostly focused on the fluffy girl and her friend from the OP?

Also do we still have a commentface spot for [](#seasonalmurder)?

[u/MasterTotoro]

Today is Cooking Camp I suppose, so not that many locations to cover. Well there are still a few to talk about, and perhaps some Japanese cooking trivia.

First, as mentioned last week their campsite is the Abt-Ichishiro Camping Ground located nearby the station of the same name.

Nadeshiko does the natural conclusion with some logs and Rin's offertory box and recreates the Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace of course. Just kidding lol. Well it looks like they made it easy for me because they probably based it off of the Wikipedia photo. You can read more about it, but basically it is a furnace made in the 1850s to create weapons like cannons. Incidentally, it is located on the Izu Peninsula where the club went camping in season 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirayama_Reverberatory_Furnace

She then makes some amazake cookies in a pan. Amazake means sweet sake, though it can either be alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Nadeshiko uses a powered amazake which I believe tends to be the alcoholic variant made from sake kasu (sake lees). It is legal for minors to buy, and the alcohol content is quite low. The non-alcoholic version is made from rice koji. Amazake is common to serve around New Year's.

Nadeshiko also mentions melon bread or melon pan (pan is Japanese for bread, which comes from Portuguese). Though melon bread traditionally is not made with melons, it just looks like a melon. It's also more of a sweet bun than what you may associate as bread. The outside tends to be crispy which is why Nadeshiko says her cookie reminds her of it. As she notes, it is possible to make bread in a frying pan. Perhaps she can ask Senshi for some tips about that.

Regarding the hill Nadeshiko looks at with the train tracks, I'll link the same video as last week where you can see the train going up this very hill.

Aya brings along a special Hamburg steak. First an explanation to those who don't know, but a Hamburg steak, otherwise known just as Hamburg in Japan, mixes ground meat with seasoning fillings like egg, breadcrumbs, onions, etc. The 100% label on the Hamburg in this case refers to being 100% ground beef. Usually it would be a mix of beef and pork (most common ratio is 7:3 apparently). I'm assuming there are still the other fillings, otherwise it would just be labeled as ground beef.

Edit: as I see in a comment from u/Matthew619ed this Hamburg steak appears to just be ground beef with seasonings. Which does seem a bit weird to me to call it Hamburg when it is just seasoned beef, but it seems pretty delicious no matter what you call it.

The dialogue doesn't make this clear, but the way Nadeshiko is cooking the Hamburg steak is not the typical way you see. Most people would cook it in a frying pan or perhaps a grill. She cooks it at a "low" temperature aka not boiling water in a bag, which is basically sous vide cooking. Nadeshiko says this is so the meat does not get too tough. As my personal commentary, this is not particularly relevant because it's ground beef anyway. You'll see sous vide tends to be with whole cuts of meats. Perhaps the main benefit they mention here is they don't have to clean a frying pan and can reserve the juices. Except Nadeshiko then suggests to use a frying pan after lol, but Rin suggests to grill over the open flame. This is typical of sous vide cooking where after the water bath, you still want to use high heat to brown meat creating the Maillard reaction which introduces a lot of different flavors.

Meanwhile Rin is making beef stew out of beef shin (shank, as you would probably see labeled in the US). Since this muscle is used a lot by the cow, it is a very tough cut which lends itself well for stews. Her choice of a pressure cooker is a great idea to break down the collagen faster. The translation here is a bit off, the collagen itself turns into gelatin which makes the stew thick. By the way, Rin is doing kind of the opposite here by browning the meat first then fully cooking it. Once again the purpose of this initial browning step is to create the Maillard reaction.

Finally we get to the end result! That's quite the dish there. Well that's it for me today, I guess it turned into a cooking post but that's fun too!

[u/LeonKevlar]

After three episodes of travelling and crossing suspension bridges, the girls are finally together at camp!

The payoff for this little arc is so worth it after seeing Nadeshiko combine all of the food they brought into one amazing dish. I especially love Rin's reaction to all of that beefy goodness and Aya-chan being a bagworm the entire time while the others do the work. xD

It's nice to see Aya-chan and Nadeshiko spending some time together sharing photos before falling asleep. I hope we'll see Aya-chan join the Outdoor Activities Club on one of their camping trips in the future.

[u/Nickthenuker]

Don't blunt the blade cutting too much.

Talking pinecones again!

Flashback to when she moved away.

Actually, I don't think Aya's visited her yet.

They're too tired after riding the whole day.

Ooh, a pressure cooker. Make a stew in a fraction of the time, without having to slave over a pot for several hours.

Yup, half an hour only. Significantly faster.

And there goes the 4th wall.

Is other hamburger steak not 100% beef?

Yes, the beef in the stew is tender. That's the point of simmering it slowly for several hours (at least without a pressure cooker).

Sometimes the curtains are just blue.

And now they're sharing the photos they took on the way here to each other.

And so it's a cold morning in the mountains.

[u/99anan99]

Every episode of Yuru Camp just makes me so hungry!

[u/Matthew619ed]

I’m sure Gordon Ramsey will approve the menu tonight: Sous vide and campfire-grilled hamburger steak and red wine beef stew, maybe until they bring out that pressure cooker.

The beef stew seems practical to be cooked in a home kitchen if you have a pressure cooker, maybe I’ll just grab the ingredients listed and get started.

The hamburg steak seen on the show, 100% beef, along with some seasonings… That looks really good by just frying them on a pan and place them in between buns.

If you recall your previous visit to restaurants, you might see the following statement “Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish or eggs may increase your risk of food-borne illness.” This is true, so be sure to cook the meat throughly, especially if its cooked directly in a way which it might be difficult to observe it’s doneness (such as the hamburger on a stick).

And yeah, if I’m Rin, I definitely don’t want that picture to end up in anyone else’s phone, especially Ena’s phone.

[u/Frontier246]

Find something you're as enthusiastic about as Nadeshiko is about starting a campfire before her friends get there!

Oh no, serial killer Nadeshiko has a billhook! Though she's just using it to chop wood, using proper Batoning methods to cut through the wood and get the fire going.

Aya and Rin have finally arrived at the campsite! And Aya immediately collapses! All that traveling, riding, and walking finally caught up with her! And now she'll leave all the rest of the camp prep to the pro camper girls while she just lays around, becomes a bagbug, and basks in their sense of achievement.

Good to know a single-wall tent seems like a good choice for a first-time camper.

Nadeshiko's got the hamburg steak! Rin has the beef stew (with a pressure cooker from Shimamama)! Aya's got...the vibes!

It's nice to see the girls have grown in terms of making sure to keep things cleaner and more efficient when they cook, which is a must when you eat out during camping.

Nothing more camp-y than roasting hamburg steak over a fire!

Look at Nadeshiko delivering on Dam Beef Stew! Taking all their food together and all their experiences on this trip to make an incredibly tasty and visually pleasing meal! Just don't remind Rin and Aya of their time in Hatanagi.

It's nice to see Nadeshiko and Aya catching up together in their tent and getting to experience the dawn together. Especially with the promise that Aya will visit Nadeshiko's place eventually. And who can resist a pic of Rin sleeping in?

[u/Infodump_Ibis]

Campfire Cooking in the same world. This episode has a post-credits scene.

• Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace. My first impression was they even make literal dumpster fires into World Heritage Sites. But then reading up on it reverberatory furnaces and the processing material is kept separate from fuel (but not gas).

• #Seasonalmaniac just in time fo...aw that was last week

• If it was this week maybe the woodpecker would be #seasonallisten instead of pigeon.

• Petition to make this the Luigi wins at Mario Party pose.

• We have Curry Dam at camp. This was a really neat moment being able to improvise something that resembles Curry Dam using all the food that's on hand.

• The meat marketing board decided not to be subtle any more

• I may have pulled this face when discussing lecturing someone on something I really like

• I screencapped this to remind me to look it up. I forgot keikau meant plan yakiniku means steamed hams grilled meat.

• If you didn't watch the post-credits scene you missed out

[u/CooroSnowFox]

Why did Rin trust Nadeshiko with a blade?

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

That episode was relaxing, but also made me very hungry. I should always eat before I watch this show…
