I think that’s right. Chewy is often coming up in English articles about the noodles. I think it’s the meaning below for こし - the phrase literally means “it has some body/resilience/springiness”, i.e. it’s not too soft.

I assume the Torii was being renovated and a facade was put up so you don’t see the actual construction

Edit: apparently that’s an illustration of how the torii looked while being renovated:

As @Gorbit99 pointed out we are looking at the shrine gate hidden behind the renovation wrapping.

I think you’re right with 炒る. Wanikani teaches 煎る which seems to be the same word with a different kanji. What’s in the brackets after 雑魚 in the text? I have a photo of that page on my phone but my finger is covering that bit!

From p 66:

* * *

雑魚（ざこ）(n) small fish, small fry

D’oh! I should have made the connection between the verb and the word they were defining and looked that up first: いりこ = 炒り子, いり → 炒り → 炒る. 🤦 Thanks for sending those details.

I’m finding it surprisingly challenging to read the stories in Hiragana with the ambiguous word boundaries and the number of homonyms there are in Japanese. Still, definitely a good exercise.
