Gourmet Hunter: From the Start, I Find a Rainbow Oyster

I thought I’d transmigrated to the Human Realm just to open a little shop and live a quiet life,

until I ate the Human Realm’s only living fossil...

Lin Xiao runs Xian Lai Ju, a shabby little shop by the sea. He only wants to keep a low profile and stay alive using the cooking skills he brought from his previous life, far away from the food-world powerhouses who can split islands with a single blow. Then he finds a glowing, seven-colored oyster on the beach. After he steams it and eats it, an IGO inspection team bursts through the door: “Sir, what you just ate was the Human Realm’s only living fossil of gourmet food!”

A storm is brewing. The Four Heavenly Kings of Gourmet Food, Toriko and the others, hear the news and slap the table, convinced he has astonishing gourmet luck. IGO’s higher-ups watch him in secret, while the Gourmet Corp’s fangs draw ever closer. Meanwhile, Lin Xiao reaches for the mysterious Gourmet Encyclopedia in his pocket, awakened by the delicious things he’s tasted.

[Rainbow Treasure Oyster, entry complete!]

[Baby Puffer Whale, analysis successful!]

[Unknown ingredient, scanning...]

From the Rainbow Fruit of the Galbates Islands to the Thunder Grapes of the Sizzling Swamp,

his taste buds guide his steps, and the encyclopedia lights the way.

While the world fights over legendary Gourmet Cells, Lin Xiao discovers that his path of evolution is entirely different:

Every taste is a conquest, and delicious food is power!

Watch as an ordinary little shopkeeper takes up a spatula as his blade and the encyclopedia as his shield,

cooking up his own legend amid the raging tides of gourmet delights and danger!
