Summary: The story takes place in 19th century China during the Qing Dynasty, where the Emperor was weakened and the country was close to chaos. It is also during a fictitious era called "The Era of the Cooking Wars". It was an era in which top chefs with different cooking styles tried their best to improve their skills and to become the best chef in China. It is a country where insulting a high-grade chef or fooling around with cooking could land a person in a jail, and impersonating a top-chef is as good as usurpation of authority. Chefs compete with each other in order to gain respect and even power, but also with the risks of losing everything.
The country of China has four major regions: Beijing, Szechuan, Shanghai, and Guangdong.
The beginning of the story takes place in Szechuan, Mao's birthplace.
After the death of Mao's mother, Pai, who was called the 'Fairy of Cuisine', Mao becomes a Super Chef in order to take the title as Master Chef of his mother's restaurant. However, before he takes his mother's place as Master Chef, he continues to travel China in order to learn more of the many ways of cooking, in the hopes of becoming a legendary chef, just like his mother. During his journey, he meets great friends and fierce rivals who wish to challenge him in the field of cooking.

This anime was my childhood anime and it is definitely a good classic. It is an exciting adventure of cooking battles. Though reactions can be cheesy and exaggerated, everything made on the show can be made in real life. It is a story about Mao's growth as a chef and the embodiment of the ideals that he was taught. It is very positive and I hope viewers feel the same way too and perhaps a thing or two. There is some humor (though it tends to be Shirou's lecherous attempts) and some good drama going on between the characters. Friendship, rivals, love, fighting the evil, and some good food. The dialogue is well written and the entertainment level was very high for me.

I highly suggest this to those who like food animes and this is one of the good old school animes to watch.
