Episode Title:
God Tongue.Episode Description:
Upon arriving at Totsuki, Soma is shocked by its grandness and how famous it really is. He meets many other chefs, all of whom are descendants of gourmet chefs or heirs to high-class food businesses, who have also come to take the transfer exam. Due to his background as a low-class diner chef, Soma is looked down on. When it comes time for the examination, most of the participants flee upon hearing that Erina Nakiri, a legendary food genius with the most selective palate known to mankind (nicknamed 'The God Tongue') will be their examiner. For fun, Erina changes the exam and orders Soma to cook an egg dish to satisfy her. He creates an ordinary-looking rice with seasoning, only to reveal that the seasoning contains chicken aspic, which enhances the flavor greatly. Despite being overwhelmingly impressed with his dish, Erina fails him, disliking his nonchalant and perceived cocky attitude, and feeling that her pride would be threatened if she passed him. Later in the day, her grandfather Senzaemon, the director of the school, tastes Soma's dish and overrules Erina's decision.
