Welcome to the golden age of the gourmets! In this world, you will find trees where lobsters grow, Brandy's headwaters and many  fruits and creatures whose tastes are as unknown as delicious. At that age, gastronomy is so important that it can shatter the world economy. As everybody is looking for new flavors, professionals appear: the "Gourmet Hunters"! Those people, who have a very high knowledge of food, have traveled in unknown lands and encountered unimaginable hazards in order to become true "taste explorers". Some Gourmet Hunters benefit from a reputation beyond borders; among them is Toriko! Once, Komatsu, a young chef receives an important order: he has to prepare a meal with "Gararawani" meat, a ferocious kind of alligator, as well as fugu-whale and other impossible-to-find ingredients. To look for these ingredients, he hires Toriko. But the Gourmet Hunter has something else in mind; he wants to fulfill his dream: find a legendary ingredient: "GOD", and create the ultimate dinner course. (official distributor synopsis)
