Ep. 9: Inui Hinako assigns Soma's group a Japanese dish challenge using local ingredients.

Totsuki alumna Inui Hinako tasks Soma's group with preparing a Japanese dish using only ingredients found in their immediate surroundings, excluding condiments and spices. Provoked by a challenge from Takumi Aldini, Soma experiences a sudden inspiration. He then rushes out with Megumi to gather the necessary components for their culinary creation from the area. This mission requires the team to rely entirely on their environment for food sources while adhering to the specific constraints set by Inui. The group must quickly identify suitable items to complete the assignment under the pressure of the competition and the strict limitations imposed on their ingredient selection process.
