Food Wars!: I Became a Fantasy Ingredient Supplier

After eating the startling apple, Managi felt a warm energy slowly coursing through her body, gradually nourishing her already weak constitution.

That's right.

This is the power of imagining ingredients.

It can make food more delicious and also make human physical fitness healthier and stronger.

The previous Jewel Flesh and this time the Shocking Apple are both examples of this!

……

"how is this possible?"

"A tiny apple can give me such a wonderful feeling."

"My body doesn't feel weak, it feels full..."

"strength!"

Then, Managi opened her bright eyes again, her voice becoming sharp and trembling with excitement.

Her hands began to tremble involuntarily, as if she were terrified that the magical taste would suddenly disappear. Her cheeks flushed rapidly with excitement.

"Samagi-sama."

"Your body is still very weak, so please don't let your emotions fluctuate too much!"

Seeing this, Anne couldn't help but worry.

Ignoring the worried look Anne gave her, Nakiri Managi suddenly stood up from her seat and said even more excitedly, "This kind of startled apple is absolutely a miracle in the culinary world."

"It overturned all my understanding of apples, and also my understanding of ingredients and food."

"I never thought of that."

"An apple can contain such enormous energy."

"Moreover, it successfully cured my anorexia, restoring vitality to my ailing body!"

Nakiri Managi's tone had begun to carry an uncontrollable fervor.

After all, before tasting this frightening apple, her biggest dream was simply to find a dish that could satisfy God's tongue.

however.

After truly experiencing the charm of fantasy ingredients.

She then realized that a whole new world of food was opening its doors to her.

……

"magic!"

"It's amazing!"

Managi kept muttering to herself.

As a result, Anne became even more worried about her mental state.

Then, she grabbed Anne's arm and shook it vigorously, saying, "Anne, you have to try this! The taste and texture of this 'Surprise Apple' are simply indescribable!"

"If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Annie was dizzy from being shaken by Managi, but before she could react, Managi rushed towards Ye Chen.

She gripped Ye Chen's hand tightly, her eyes filled with gratitude and admiration: "Ye Chen, how many more 'surprise apples' do you have? I want... I want them all..."

……

Managi's passion.

Ye Chen felt somewhat at a loss.

Helpless, he could only laugh and say, "Don't get so excited. The price of that 'frightening apple' was 750 million yen. How about you pay it first?"

"Look at my memory."

Ye Chen's reminder helped Nakiri Managi calm down a bit.

Then, she slapped her forehead and turned to Annie, saying, "Annie, pay!"

"Yes!"

"Samagi-sama."

Upon hearing this, Annie's lips curled up slightly, and she gave a wry smile.

Since it was impossible for her to carry that much cash with her, Annie ultimately chose to pay by credit card.

Beyond the mountains, beyond the sea, there lives a group of:

Gourmet Hunter!

Because Toriko is a fantastical gourmet world filled with imaginative ingredients.

The ingredients here include gem meat, rainbow fruit, startling apples, BB popcorn, and so on. Because these ingredients are often difficult to collect and capture, the profession of Gourmet Hunter was created.

They often possess various unique skills and venture into perilous places, even at the risk of their lives, to obtain those delicious, fantastical ingredients.

Of course.

In the world of Food Wars!

There is definitely no such profession as a gourmet hunter.

However, people's pursuit of top-quality ingredients is also extremely fervent.

Those star chefs recognized by the WGO will excessively pursue rare, exotic, and delicious ingredients, from seasonings to meats, from flying creatures to swimming creatures, they can find things that are worth a lot of money!

such as:

In France.

"Fleur de Salt," a natural sea salt from the Hongde Salt Fields, is produced on the southern coast of Brittany and has a history of over a thousand years.

Generally speaking, it takes about 50 square meters of salt field to crystallize 500 grams of fleur de salt.

and.

It must be collected before sunset.

Otherwise, it will dissolve when it gets wet with dew.

Unlike regular salt, "fleurone" has a very rich flavor profile, being salty but not bitter, and has a unique violet aroma.

The price is around $147 per 50 grams, which is equivalent to 21716 yen.

Therefore, it has always been highly sought after by top chefs.

……

High-end ingredients.

Often, only the simplest cooking methods are needed; this is probably the most widely circulated line from "A Bite of China".

As a chef, Ye Chen strongly agrees with this statement.

Take fish as an example.

Carp is considered a famous dish from Henan province in China.

In Henan province, carp is typically cooked in various ways, such as braising, pan-frying, stir-frying with garlic, or sweet and sour.

why?

Because the carp meat is crumbly, not firm, and has a muddy taste.

Therefore, it must be processed using strong-flavored methods, first deep-frying, and then simmering with spices such as star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, angelica, chili peppers, scallions, ginger, and garlic.

thus.

Good ingredients.

For chefs, this can be the icing on the cake.

Fantasy ingredients like the "Scare Apple" are of immeasurable value, far exceeding a few million yen.

This is why Nakiri Managi suddenly became excited!

……

night, deeper.

Along the streets of Paris, streetlights twinkle like stars, illuminating every corner of this city that never sleeps.

A black sedan moved silently through the interplay of light and shadow, like a dark phantom in the night, both understated and stylish.

inside the car.

Nakiri Managi leaned back gently on the soft chair.

My gaze drifted through the car window, silently watching the scenery rushing by.
