Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma (2015)

Episode Overview

Akira's dish, enhanced by the intense aroma of holy basil and yogurt, impresses the judges with a score of 94, including two perfect 20s. Soma then unveils his own fragrant creation: a curry risotto omurice that merges his previous two failed attempts, featuring a mango chutney that adds depth. It earns 93 points, placing him second to Akira, though three of the five judges actually preferred Soma's dish. Later, during a post-preliminary party where contestants celebrate and reflect on their wins and losses, Soma resolves to sharpen his culinary finesse.
