"My name is Teruteru Hanamura. On the streets, I'm known as the Ultimate Cook... But, could you guys call me the Ultimate Chef instead? It has more of a...big-city flavor to it, you know?"

"Tastes change depending on likes and dislikes...feelings and emotions...memories and perception... It depends on each person to determine what they believe is tasty..."

 "I didn't really want...the sparkling city-life or my stunning success... I just... I just wanted to cook for someone important to me."
