「クリキャン!」 (Kuri Camp!)
“Christmas Camp!”
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas this St. Patrick’s Day weekend, and not just because it’s still cold outside. Our girls are finally on their Christmas camping trip to the Asagiri Highlands. This place in particular has an up-close view of Mt. Fuji that changes into a red tint when the sun goes down. What makes this and the next episode special though is how everyone is together at last. Chiaki and Aoi have their itinerary planned out with how they’ll go about the day ahead of time, Rin came in for the assist, Nadeshiko brought her enthusiasm and breakfast items with her, Toba-sensei brought bacon and beer, and Ena came with both her collection of expensive camping equipment and her chihuahua Chikuwa. It was great to see everyone in the cast in one place, and it really feels like a great way to cap off such a terrific show.
As everything that’s happened up til now reveled in the tips and techniques for stable camping, this episode aimed its sights on presenting how amazing the food looked. I haven’t had s’mores in a while until this past year, but seeing them being put together and the melty marshmallow fall over had me reminiscing about how great they are by the campfire. One area of interest that I am less versed in is Western-style versions of Japanese food. Aoi’s recommendation from her grandma to have Sukiyaki as a meat dish to share with company inspired her to take on sukiyaki two-ways: your standard method of stewing meat and vegetables together, and an Italian-inspired variant with tomatoes, basil, and stir-fried onions. It’s something I’ve only seen from a Western POV, but I’m curious about how Italian-style Japanese dishes turn out, especially since Aoi was going with the motif further with cheese pasta.
Rin’s moment of reflection at the end of the episode is a good chance to bring back up what makes Yuru Camp so charming. Rin’s burst of happiness from enjoying her time with the other girls calls attention to how great it has been to see her slowly develop overtime. Thinking back to when Rin was too uncomfortable to even consider camping with someone else, it is really something to see how her joy from camping with Nadeshiko had eventually given her an interest in sharing time with everyone else. The anime doesn’t look down on her for being shy, but instead gives her an experience with friends that reveals to her that it’s not so bad to have a little company while you’re camping. I’ll try to refrain until the last episode to gush about the music and visuals again, but it’s something that I’m appreciating more now that the season is almost over. It’ll be devastating to lose Yuru Camp because it’s been so relaxing and amazing, but we’ll have to see how Nadeshiko’s breakfast turns out in the next episode’s continuation of the Christmas camp.

Toba-sensei definitely needs an intervention, though she does know the best liquor to marry with the food she’s eating. This also was certainly a cornucopia of food p0rn. Not that there isn’t a lot in anime already.
Chikuwa is just too cute. I was expecting her to wind up in Toba-sensei ‘s lap though.
I am definitely going to miss the girls and especially Rin, but I was glad they ended the cour with them all together.

I should try hot cocoa with rum. Thank you, Toba-sensei!

We do use rum in chocolate cake to make it taste better, I imagine it’s more or less along the same taste range.

Wow, this episode had me ROLF (well, more specifically my bed). I suppose this is the climax of the season, so I shouldn’t be surprised the episode went all out with humor and warm/fuzzy feelings.
As usual, the food was the highlight of the episode. I make sukiyaki several times a year myself and will splurge on expensive Wagyu beef at least once a year. The lack of rice made me cry like Toba-sensei though. In my opinion, nothing beats freshly cooked rice and a steaming pot of Wagyu beef sukiyaki. What I found interesting was the “Western styled” sukiyaki. I’ve never thought to add tomatoes and fried onions/garlic but from the various recipes I Googled, it seems fairly common for sukiyaki. I did question the fresh basil, but I guess shungiku (chrysanthemum) is fairly herby and Vietnamese Pho is all about adding basil to the noodle soup, so in theory basil should work in the same way in sukiyaki. Well, no way to know until I try it!
In any case, I can’t wait to add this series to my BD collection.

Loved how they were like this while feeling Ena’s sleeping bag, and then they did the same thing while looking over Rin’s camping gear! That was funny.

Having fun with the kids was a nice touch too.
I can’t wait to see what Nadeshiko has in store with her “Japanese style breakfast” for the next episode. Alas, this series has ended so quickly… >_<

Well, this time for camping is also an “bless” for the ones that snore while sleeping.. imagine an “full” camping place in the summer and you snore many wood in your dream.. next morning all have black eyes and you are the only one that sleep well :)

I love it when Nadeshiko’s voice almost turn into a crying tone when Chikuwa simply ignore them both and runs straight into sensei’s blanket.
