| At Yukihira Family Restaurant, teenager Soma Yukihira aspires to someday beat his father Joichiro in a cook-off. A woman tries to persuade Soma to sell their property so her clients can build a high rise. She challenges Soma to cook for her a meat dish, but she has the place vandalized and the meat spoiled. Soma improvizes a near-meat dish that overwhelms her in taste. Later, Joichiro closes the restaurant to go on a worldwide cooking tour, and has Soma enroll in Totsuki Saryo Culinary Institute, an elite cooking academy. Erina Nakiri, the valedictorian of Totsuki's junior high and a member of Totsuki's Council of Ten Masters, presides over the transfer student entrance exam and has candidates cook an egg dish that would satisfy her. While other candidates flee because of Erina's reputation of being the nation's top food critic, Soma cooks a furikake dish that Erina discovers she really enjoys. However, because Soma is a commoner, she fails him anyway. At the school's entrance ceremony, Soma appears as the sole transfer student representative and declares he will aspire to be the top student in his class, angering his classmates, and shocking Erina. In his first class, Soma is paired with Megumi Tadokoro, a shy girl who ranked at the bottom of her class and is on academic probation. Although some of their classmates sabotage Soma and Megumi's beef bourguignon, Soma is able to save the dish and the teacher gives them a top grade. The bonus story was the one-shot that originally ran in Jump Next's 2012 issue where Erina, a top student and teacher at the academy, has the student Soma compete in a cook-off against one of her top student chefs.

| During the meet and greet between the Council of Ten and the first-year Fall Classic main event participants, eighth seat member Terunori Kuga tells them they have a long way to go before they can think about challenging anyone on the Council, but this inspires the first-years more. When Kuga mentions he will consider shokugeki if they can beat them in any type of cooking-related contest, Soma enters a booth in the school's Moon Festival, placing it adjacent to Kuga's Chinese Food Research Society. He learns that Kuga specializes in Sichuan Cuisine, leading an army of cooks that make an addictively spicy but delicious mapo tofu. He also learns that if he does not turn a profit, he will be expelled. With Megumi helping him, he tries some ideas and gets Erina's feedback, and presents a food cart with black pepper buns for the first day of the festival. However, Kuga's massive booth makes a huge profit while Soma's booth ends up in the red, along with Team Shiomi (Alice, Ryo, and Akira). Soma learns that The bonus chapters show the first-years in normal student life situations. ||||

| Soma expands his offerings to include noodles made from the same dough as the buns, and slowly climbs up the rankings in profits. On the fourth day, he rolls out a bunch of benches and takes advantage of the frustrated customers in line for Kuga's restaurant by offering a mapo tofu dish combined with a lion's head meatball with curry. The customers start to defect to Soma's booth, but as it gets crowded, Subaru Mimasaka comes to help, reproducing the dish. Ikumi Mito and Takumi Aldini also join in to support, and the food cart clinches first place for that day. Afterwards, second seater Rindo Kobayashi invites Soma to try out first seater Eishi Tsukasa's work. Meanwhile, Team Shiomi turns a profit finally when Alice 3d prints chocolate designs to go with Ryo and Akira's dishes. Erina is shocked when she receives a visit from her father Azami Nakiri, who was banished from Totsuki. Azami announces he has taken over the school as the new dean by majority vote by the Council. He dismisses Hisako as Erina's aide. The now-retired Senzaemon tells Soma about Erina's past and asks him to save his granddaughter. ||||

| Senzaemon tells Soma to save Erina, who is restricted in her school activities and classes. Alice, Ryo, and Hisako help Erina escape and seek refuge at Polaris Dorm. Azama announces that all research societies and seminars are to be disbanded, and that the school will teach his curriculum from his organization known as Central. He orders the eviction of Polaris Dorm in ten days. Soma challenges Eizan to a shokukgeki, but Eizan has Soma watch his match against one of the societies where he has already bribed the judges to rule in Central's favor. While the other societies withdraw their challenges, Soma challenges Eizan anyway. The theme ingredient is Satsuma jidori (free-range) chicken. Eizan sends people to evict Polaris immediately and is met with resistance. Eizan serves his Hainanese chicken rice. ||||

| Banking on the judges' curiosity, Soma presents jidori chicken-wing pot stickers and persuades the judges to try them. The judges award Soma the match, thus canceling the eviction. As Polaris celebrates, Isshiki informs them that the societies can now challenge Central to be reinstated with fair judging. Azami visits the dorm as a Polaris alum, but instead of taking Erina back, he notes that he still has greater plans to rule. Erina is shocked to learn that Joichiro Saiba, the person she admired, is Soma's dad. After dismissing three Council members (including Isshiki), Central dispatches its Council members as well as its new recruits to battle in the society challenges, easily winning matches and disbanding clubs while the Polaris students and allies scout them out. The next shokugeki challenge is between the Cutting Edge Research Society (of which Alice became de facto president) member Ryo Kurokiba and Central's recruit member, Rentaro Kusunoki. ||||
