Synopsis: Shokugeki no Sōma tells the story of a boy named Sōma Yukihira, whose dream is to become a full-time chef at his father's restaurant and surpass his father's culinary skills. However, as soon as Sōma graduates from high school, his father, Jōichirō Yukihira, closes the restaurant to cook in America. Nevertheless, Sōma's fighting spirit is reignited by a challenge from Jōichirō: to survive in an elite culinary school, where less than 10% of the students graduate. Can Sōma survive?
