One of the finest culinary academies in the world, Totsuki is a place where youngsters grow from passionate newbies into world-class chefs. It is a privately-owned school in Tokyo, and has every amenity imaginable. An international staff pulled from the best restaurants, expansive grounds, and a devoted student body make this school a truly unique place.
One of the first people Soma encountered upon entering Totsuki was a girl his own age: Erina Nakiri, known for possessing a palate so peerless it is referred to as the “God Tongue.” It was Erina who judged his dish in the academy’s entrance exam, which, shockingly enough, managed to impress her. She denied his entrance out of snobbishness anyway, but was quickly foiled by the school director, who overturned her decision. Soma was in, but it was a very near miss.
Yes, Soma was a bit of an outsider from the beginning at Totsuki Academy. His small-town roots and swagger made him plenty of enemies on day one, especially after he stood up in front of the entire student body and announced he was going to be the best student at the school. While some classmates came to despise him, his attitude and antics also earned him plenty of friends and set him on his path to greatness.
