I have a book with stories about a Japanese judge named Ooka, and that story was in it. I wondered if the name used was variable.

Ooka sat en banc on a case involving a recipe for egg custard. The plaintiff thought her recipe had been stolen. The three-judge court decided to have a cookoff to decide the case. The picture in the paper showed the judges looking down at the concoction, and was, of course, cutlined Ooka, Flan, and Colleagues
