Gourmet Hunters (美食屋 Bishoku-ya, literally meaning "Gourmet Food Providers") are specialized in the acquisition of High-Level Ingredients.

Due to the difficulties inherent in securing certain ingredients, many have trained their abilities to superhuman levels, some of them even possessing Gourmet Cells to do so. Be it unusual displays of strength, phenomenal speed, or unrivaled endurance, these hunters are known for their capacity to surpass any normal, armed human being. While brute force may be the status quo, there are some known for using Knocking and other peaceful methods of collecting their quarry. Many gourmet hunters have artificial immunities to poisons by injecting themselves with a solution made from poisonous plants and animal venom over a period of time: this creates various antibodies.

Most of these individuals are generally for hire, taking varying fees in exchange for the retrieval of ingredients that would be inaccessible to the contractor under common circumstances. Many of the world's most notable and influential individuals are or were Gourmet Hunters during their life.

To prove their worth, Gourmet Hunters tend to create Full Course Menu's made up of Ingredients they've hunted, so that clients can see how good they are, though this isn't compulsory. The higher the quality of the Gourmet Hunter's Full Course, the stronger the Gourmet Hunter in question. Gourmet Hunters tend to do their jobs solo, though there are some exceptions. Sometimes groups are formed, though this does not necessarily mean that they work as a team. This also might attract Chefs to which the Gourmet Hunter can form combo's with.

Trivia[]

  •  In the popular manga/anime Hunter x Hunter, there exists a class of hunters named the Gourmet Hunters similar to that of the Toriko series. This might not be a coincidence since Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro and the creator of Hunter x Hunter are both friends.
