In a realm where flavor and mouthfeel hold supreme value, there are specialists called Bishoku-ya—elite purveyors of luxury cuisine who scour the globe for uncommon ingredients and creatures. Toriko belongs to this elite group, and his ambition is to discover the world"s most coveted foods and craft an unparalleled banquet. As one of the planet"s finest trackers, he is routinely commissioned by high‑end restaurants and affluent patrons to hunt down novel components and rare fauna.
A man endowed with extraordinary prowess, he employs his immense strength and deep understanding of wildlife to seize ferocious, elusive, and scarce beasts, all in pursuit of his ultimate goal: a dining experience featuring the finest edible treasures. He is joined by a timid, inexperienced chef who, inspired by Toriko"s vision, accompanies him to hone culinary techniques and locate rare provisions. Together they traverse jungles, tundras, and markets, constantly seeking new flavors to satisfy the most discerning palates.
