This special was shown during the 2009 Jump Super Anime Tour.
In a world where taste and texture are of utmost importance, there are experts called Bishoku-ya—luxury food suppliers who specialize in tracking down rare ingredients and unusual animals. Toriko is one such Bishoku-ya, whose goal is to find the most delicate delicacies and create the ultimate gourmet meal. Known as one of the best hunters globally, he is often hired by high-end restaurants and wealthy clients to obtain new and hard-to-find ingredients.
Endowed with incredible abilities, Toriko uses his immense strength and deep knowledge of wildlife to capture dangerous, elusive, and uncommon creatures, all in service of his greatest ambition—crafting an unrivaled banquet featuring the finest dishes in the world. He is currently accompanied by a timid and inexperienced chef, who, out of admiration for Toriko's dreams, joins him on this adventure to improve their cooking skills and seek out exclusive ingredients.
