Gourmet Jellyfish is a beast that lives deep in oceans. Long ago, a legendary Gourmet Hunter named Acacia, called the "Gourmet God", discovered miraculous cells within this jellyfish. He named them Gourmet Cells. He noticed that creatures who ate Gourmet Jellyfish would increase in flavor and would also grow in size and power; additionally, the more high-quality foods those creatures subsequently consumed, the stronger the regenerative properties and life processes of their gourmet cells. Now, both IGO and other legal (and illegal) organizations are researching these Gourmet Cells, but the results of said research are shrouded in mystery. It can regenerate itself after being eaten. Many of the superhuman characters in Toriko have Gourmet Cells inside their bodies, though it's not guaranteed that the Gourmet Cells will be compatible with the user.
