Umami

Bring your American menu to a worldwide battle of flavours. Face animal chefs, discover traditional dishes, and learn how a well-chosen spice can change the outcome of a culinary card duel.

Build a winning menu

Choose dishes for each course and match them against your rival’s menu. Every dish has four tastes: Acid, Salty, Spicy, and Sweet. Together, they determine its Power. Win individual dish comparisons to take the round, then win rounds to claim the match.

Season both sides

Regional spices change the same taste on both dishes in a chosen pair. A spice might turn your weakest dish into a winner—or give your rival the advantage. Check both cards before spending your limited stock, and discover ingredients made specifically for desserts.

Take a chance

Keep your menu or replace a dish with a random card from your deck. The replacement could be stronger or weaker. Decide whether the risk is worth taking.

Discover the world through food

Travel through Lebanon, Italy, Russia, India, Japan, and China in a campaign told through illustrated comics. Meet each region’s chef, face new menus, and earn more dishes as you progress.

The food goes beyond the battlefield: explore real dishes and traditional recipes in the Cookbooks, available from the main menu.

• Learn the rules through guided, interactive lessons.
• Play through the campaign or face computer-controlled chefs in Duel mode.
• Adjust the difficulty as you build confidence.
• Experiment with regional spices and discover new combinations.
