Palmed Meat Rice Trees (Haayashi) Kumamoto Prefecture Miyakou-san's work!
Someone once said...
Palm trees droop with heavy, exquisite hashed meat with rice fruits,
Palmed Meat Rice Trees.
That there are sheep with sweet, fluffy fleece,
Baatton Candy (Wataameemee) Kanagawa Prefecture Mr. Green-san's work!
Baatton Candy
The world is in the Gourmet Age.
the age of seeking out yet-unknown tastes.
Two of the training ingredients requested by IGO President Ichiryuu remain.
One of them is said to be located in the largest sea of trees in Human World,
the Lost Forest.
Toriko had an Ehou Maki made by Sushi Chef Monchy in order to have its location predicted for him.
Now we can go to the Lost Forest!
Hands Together and Bow!
Gourmet Human National Treasure Chin Chinchin Appears!
This is way too big, right?!
It's going all the way into the clouds!
That's just how high the difficulty for predicting this direction was.
It had to be this big, ya moron.
Thank you. I really appreciate it, Monchy.
It's still a little early for handing out thank-yous.
It's falling!
It's tilting!
Stand back.
With it packed so full of components, it's going to extend some several thousand times when it falls.
And that'll tell you guys the direction you wanna go.
Okay! That's it!
Here it comes!
Don't come this way!
So it's in that direction?
Yeah. If you eat the Ehou Maki as you follow along it,
you're certain to find the ingredient you're after.
Now hurry and get goin', morons.
Th-Thank you so much, Monchy-san!
You're the one who made the Century Soup, Komatsu, right?
Ah, yes.
There's still a lot of trouble for you ahead before you'll find the direction you should be going in.
It looks to be a long, perilous road.
But rest easy.
There's tons of hope for ya.
Someday, I'll predict your direction, too, moron.
Okay! I'd love to!
Hey, I'm gonna get eating, Komatsu!
Ah, coming!
With thanks to all of the ingredients in this world,
Itadakimasu!
Yum!
This vinegared rice!
I'd expect nothing less from the ruler of all vinegars, King Vinegar!
This Eco Nori is awesome, Komatsu!
Sure is, Toriko-san!
Eat up and find the thing you're lookin' for!
In the near future, those guys are sure to come across some incredible ingredients in the direction they should be heading.
The morons.
Ah, these are Wieneggplants!
That Monchy guy, he must've gotten some and snuck em in!
That's so cool of him!
The flesh of the fruit is as fleshy as sausage!
Plus it's overflowing with meat juices! This eggplant's delicious!
Ooh, this is an Imitation Crab Meat Flower!
The petals of the Imitation Crab Meat Flowers are the best!
All right! We made it to one of the ingredients we captured!
The Madam Fish!
This taste, it's like a combination of top-quality tuna and salmon roe!
I just love it!
It melts the moment it touches your tongue!
But this that certainly is odd...
Even though it's such a delicious Ehou Maki,
not only are no animals eating it, they're not even getting close.
It's only a tiny amount, but remember the Dodurian Bomb is in here.
Ah, so it's because of that smell?
I'm so glad we got that Dodurian Bomb!
All that suffering was worth it!
An Ehou Maki traffic delay?!
Sorry! We'll have this cleaned up in a jiffy!
I wonder what ingredients we'll find next.
I'm always looking forward to seeing what I'll find!
It's delicious, but I can't take anymore.
Let's take a little break.
Look.
The largest sea of trees in all of Human World, Lost Forest.
It's insanely huge!
It's got an area of 30 million square kilometers.
Because of its unique magnetic field, all electro-magnetic waves get jammed and even compasses and GPS's don't work.
If you get lost inside it, you'll never find your way out.
But we'll be all right because we have the Ehou Maki, right?
Yup. This thing'll be our compass.
C'mon, Komatsu.
Okay.
Um, there's one important thing I forgot to ask about.
What exactly is the ingredient President Ichiryuu requested of you?
It's a soap bubble.
Huh? Soap bubble?
Well, to be exact,
they're fruit made out of soap bubbles. Bubble Fruits.
Soap bubble fruits?
I've never seen any either, of course.
But this Ehou Maki should guide us to it.
Uh, T-Toriko-san!
The Ehou Maki just stops suddenly!
What's going on here?
The friggin' Ehou Maki just stopped in the middle of the sea of trees?
It's like the Ehou Maki itself was scooped out.
This huge hole...
Someone excavated a huge part of the sea of trees?
Uh oh.
Hey, wait!
What is it?
It's the guy that filched the Ehou Maki!
He's gotta have some guts to sneak in and take our precious guide!
That's weird.
I can smell the scent of the Ehou Maki and that guy around here, but...
Was there really another person this deep in the sea of trees?
No doubt about it, they were here.
And I'm sure as hell gonna find them!
Wait up!
This is...
Disappearing Cuisine?!
( Disappearing Cuisine (Kumogakure Kappou) literally means "Hidden in the Clouds Traditional Japanese Cuisine" )
That legendary traditional restaurant said to be incredibly difficult to find?!
Yeah.
Its restaurant rank has 10 stars. A 10-star traditional restaurant!
C'mon, Komatsu! Let's go in!
Let's just stop in for now!
Ah, okay. But what about the guy that took the Ehou Maki?
Ya can't fight on an empty stomach!
Let's get some grub first!
So you'd like to get something to eat first, huh?
But wait, weren't you just eating that Ehou Maki nonstop for a while?
Ah, can we go in without a reservation?
I'm sure it's fine.
I mean, this place is hidden, you can't make reservations, can you?
Up close, it looks sort of majestic...
I can smell some refined, tasty-smelling scents coming from inside.
Hello!
Sorry for the intrusion!
Huh?
The restaurant... disappeared?
The restaurant was... just here, right...?
Toriko-san! Someone's over there!
Huh?
Where?
There was a person right there...
Put your hands together and bow.
Wah! The restaurant!
What happened?!
And hey, did you just hear that?
Y-Yes.
Someone said "Put your hands together and bow."
Do you think it's some sort of charm used to get in?
You need to do something like that to get into a restaurant?
I don't really get it either, but maybe we could give it a try and see what happens?
Hands together and bow.
Amazing! We really got in!
Even though just finding the restaurant is really hard,
it's still hard to actually get inside?
Welcome.
I welcome you to our humble restaurant,
Disappearing Cuisine.
I am the head chef, Chiru.
Th-Thanks.
It's the person ranked 15th on the chef ranking, Chiru-san!
I never thought I'd meet him in this sea of trees!
Now, allow me to show you in.
Um, we don't have a reservation, is that all right?
Of course.
Please, step right up.
Okay, sorry for the intru...
There's another customer here, huh?
This place is full of mouth-watering fragrances.
Just what I'd expect from a 10-star restaurant!
But why is it in the middle of the sea of trees?
If it was easier to find, it would be more accessible to customers, wouldn't it?
We handle incredibly delicate ingredients at our restaurant.
Therefore, we are forced to have some exclusivity with whom we allow to enter.
Exclusivity?
Yes.
Yes. In terms of food etiquette.
In other words, unless one is acquainted with Food Honor,
they cannot eat our cooking.
In order to protect our ingredients from wild customers that know nothing of Food Honor,
we hold our business operations here in this sea of trees.
I see. So if customers like that showed up, the restaurant would disappear.
Yes. This restaurant is built with a Gourmet World wood made from the shiest tree in the world,
the Invisibility Tree.
Isn't it that camouflaging tree that's been used to make safes recently?
Invisibility Tree
Yes.
The Invisibility Tree is a mysterious tree that hides its form when wild creatures approach.
The materials of the building themselves protect the delicate ingredients.
So that's why the restaurant became invisible?
The two of you have been willingly accepted by both this building and the ingredients here.
That's a rare feat as of recent.
Though what's most impressive is that you were able to locate the restaurant.
Well, we really only just followed the smell of some weird guy.
Weird guy?
Chiru-san!
That customer still wants to eat more!
Our cooking can't keep up!
Is that what happened?
One of our employees has been very rude.
Chirin, please apologize.
B-But when I found it,
the Ehou Maki was already in pieces.
I just took a little of it.
So you're saying the one who took the whole Ehou Maki wasn't you?
Of course not!
There's no way I'd be able to do something like that.
Please apologize anyhow.
W-Well, it was thanks to Chirin-san that we were able to find this restaurant.
That's true.
Our guide to the Bubble Fruits was cut off, but we'll figure something out.
Did you say Bubble Fruits?
You've heard of it?
Yes.
The Bubble Fruits are located in a place even deeper into the sea of trees,
they're the temple treasures of Shokurin Temple.
( Shokurin = Food Forest/Thicket )
Shokurin Temple, huh?
Also known as the Disappearing Temple.
It's a legendary temple that no one knows many details about.
The Bubble Fruits are said to be among the most delicate of ingredients.
Even previous generation head chefs have handled them, but...
You used to be able to eat them here?!
Y-Yes.
Though I'm embarassed to admit,
I'm still rather inexperienced so right now...
Hey!
Can't you hurry the next portion up?!
Yes! Coming right up!
That voice...
Yeah.
Hands together and bow.
That person is the one I saw in the sea of trees.
That customer is eating us out of house and home!
That's rude to the customer.
Now then, please take a seat, you two.
We'll prepare your meal shortly.
Ooh! I've been waiting for this!
This sure is exciting, right Komatsu?
It's a rare treat to eat 10-star cooking.
If you can do a good job in eating it, that is.
Chirin.
Thank you for waiting.
First is the aperitif.
This is Kelp Sake, extracted from a Kelp Stone.
What? A Kelp Rock?!
You start with water at 3 degrees Celsius and raise it 1 degree each hour
and at the same time, you need to soak it into the water at a fixed rate, millimeter by millimeter, over the course of one hour to extract stock from that.
And if you move the stone just one millimeter in another direction, the stock will stop releasing, right?!
That's right.
It takes a minimum of five days to prepare.
Awesome! Itadakimasu!
Ah, please wait a moment!
What just happened?!
Its savoriness escaped.
What?!
There's a specific behavior that must be adhered to when drinking Kelp Sake.
If you neglect it, all savoriness will evaporate.
For real?!
By the way, the behavior requires quite a bit of patience.
I see. So there are even ingredients that require special appreciation, huh?
I'm nervous.
You must not disturb the surface of the water.
You must keep your heart calm.
Draw your utensil gently towards your mouth.
Slowly.
It's taken him 20 minutes to get that far!
I-I don't think I can do it.
Take a deep breath and calm down, Komatsu.
Ah, sorry.
Next is Sunshine Cheese.
Please eat it while constantly keeping it in contact with sunlight.
If it falls into a shadow, it'll get dry and hard.
This looks doable.
Huh? Uh oh. The clouds!
Yum!
This is the Million Tomato.
Each of the thousand layers of skin are peeled politely one at a time.
They break easily, so be gentle with them.
Slowly...
Dammit!
I wasn't trying to use any force at all!
This is Star Rice.
By cleaning and cooking each individual grain at a time
the rice shines like stars.
When you're eating it, you need to look fixedly at the rice
and put it in your mouth without blinking.
It-It's so bright I can't even see it!
Try to endure it, Komatsu!
Next dish, please!
This one's no good, too!
This time for sure...
This one's tasty, too!
Yummy!
This one sucks!
Augh, we keep messing up...
Gochisousama deshita.
We barely ate anything!
All those ingredients were extremely hard to cook,
but I'm surprised that eating them is so difficult.
Those are simply what the ingredients of this restaurant are.
They're so delicate...
It must fray on your nerves to just store them.
Yeah. I get why this restaurant can't do business in a city.
But for all the extra effort it took, it was delicious!
Thank you very much.
That really was all excellent, refined, cooking.
I wish I could've tasted all of it...
Yeah...
He's being so vigorous, but...
He's eating it all.
Gochisousama deshita.
H-He finished it all!
Well, it's only natural.
Long ago, these were the only sorts of ingredients that existed in the natural world.
If one did not master that etiquette, they would undoubtedly starve.
Such an age did exist.
In such an age, you would die,
Tomiko and Koike.
Tomiko? Koike?
Wh-Who's that?
Your cooking skills have improved.
Thank you very much, Master Chin.
M-Master?
That man is master of Shokurin Temple, and a Gourmet Human National Treasure.
Chin Chinchin-shi.
Th-This man is... Chin...
Chinchin?
Find Yun!
Run, run, Yun!
Find Yun!
Run, run, Yun!
Yun will be hidden somewhere in the image we're about to show you.
Try to find him!
Capturehide Level
8
Capturehide Level 8!
The time limit is 10 second.
A heaping helping of a start!
Seconds
This is the third time we've had this corner,
so this is a somewhat difficult level, level 8.
Okay, can you find Yun?
Yun is over here!
How'd you do?
Did you find Yun?
Speaking of finding, I wonder if Toriko and Komatsu will be able to find the Bubble Fruit?
Now we have this corner for everyone excited about next time!
No mercy will be shown to those without manners!
The mysteries behind the temple filled with food secrets will not be unveiled!
Those Without Gratitude Should Not Enter!
The Fearsome Shokurin Temple!!
Next time will be a heaping helping of fun, too!
