Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma

Yukihira is a popular neighborhood restaurant where Yukihira Soma helps out in the hopes of surpassing his father as a chef one day. But land sharks are after their restaurant, and one day Soma tells them that the restaurant will close if they couldn't serve satisfactory food to their customers. The land sharks are only too happy to sabotage the restaurant's fridge and gleefully orders Soma to serve them a meat dish...

Under his father's orders, Soma attempts to transfer into one of Japan's top culinary schools, Togetsu Tea House Culinary Academy. His examiner, Nakiri Erina, is a student said to possess humanity's best palate: the God Tongue.

Just barely squeaking past the academy's transfer exam, Soma causes and uproar at the opening ceremony by making a brash speech in front of the entire class. In his very first class, he's paired with Tadokoro Megumi, a girl who is at risk of expulsion and is intent on keeping a low profile in order to survive.

Soma arrives at Polar Star Dormitory with high expectations, only to find it a creepy, run-down place. He is then informed by the dorm warden, Daimido Fumio, that he can only live at the dorm after he impresses her with his cooking. Soma rises up to the challenge!

Soma faces off against Alice in the Fall Elections. The theme: bento! Alice specializes in molecular gastronomy. How will each draw on their expertise to craft the ultimate bento?

Soma finds out that Totsuki has a school festival that happens at the end of autumn called the Moon Festival. Soma is told by the 8th seat of the Elite Ten, Kuga, that if he’s able to beat him in any dish there, he’ll accept a Shokugeki from him and Soma decides to enter the Moon Festival so he can challenge him. He then goes to Kuga’s Chinese Food RS and sees...

After seeing the Chinese Food RS, Soma decides to put out a Chinese cuisine food stall at the Moon Festival to challenge Kuga.

It is now the third day of the Moon Festival! While the addition of the Sorta Danzi Noodles dish to their lineup has helped Soma improve their sales, they are nowhere near Chinese Cuisine RS, who continues to dominate the sales rankings. Soma decides to get help and start serving yet another new dish: Mapo Tofu, the same as Chinese Cuisine RS! However, his version has a surprising secret--what is Soma's strategy?
