Cooking Master Boy
Chuuka Ichiban!
The story is set in 19th century China during the declining Qing Dynasty, in a time known as the Era of the Cooking Wars. This is when top chefs from across the country compete fiercely to perfect their craft and claim the title of greatest chef in China. The stakes are incredibly high—insulting a master chef or disrespecting cooking itself can land you in prison, and pretending to be a legendary chef is treated as an act of treason. Chefs risk everything for the chance to gain respect and power. China is divided into four major culinary regions: Beijing, Szechuan, Shanghai, and Guangdong. The story begins in Szechuan, the hometown of Mao. After his mother, Pai—known as the Fairy of Cuisine—passes away, Mao becomes a Super Chef and takes over her restaurant as its Master Chef. But he's not content to stop there. Instead, he travels throughout China to master the different cooking styles of each region, determined to become as legendary as his mother once was. Along the way, he befriends talented chefs and faces off against fierce rivals, all pushing each other to greater heights.
