Cooking

Spicy mastery

Chika seems to grow fond of the spicy flavors, due her passion for History which made her extremely curious about the Discoveries and as such she turned to that cuisine style the most.

Kitchen Leadership

Strength:
Since she was taught by her father in his restaurants, Chika started to grow aware of how to run a kitchen, and a team of cooks along with it.

Card games

Strength:
Chika loves to play card games specially poker, and rarely loses. When she plays, she likes to make stupid bets and challenges for the loser. This is the reason why her hair is shaved.

Mahi'ai Cooking Style

Chika's cooking style is a quite complex one. While it's not unlike Souma's, she doesn't seem to do everything at random, and it's easy to realize which dish is she changing. People say that the dishes she cooks, are dishes well known to everyone, with a huge twist, which earned her the "International Twister" title. Chika's cuisine style is a mix between Hawaiian, American, Portuguese, French and German cuisine styles, result of her multiple nationalities, and of her travels and training. Since she experienced first-hand all of those styles, she holds great knowledge over them. Not only that, she is studying in Tootsuki, she is also gradually gaining knowledge in Japanese dishes and their cuisine style, which gives her a great flexibility in the dishes she is preparing. Also, Chika seems to know a lot about the ingredients, specially Portuguese ones, whom are almost unknown to everyone in Japan, as well as their specialities. She was shown to be able to use old goat meat (commonly called "chanfana" in Portugal), Oporto wine, and a Spanish sauce ("molho à espanhola") to make curry. All of the styles that influenced this one are mentioned below.

  • Portuguese cuisine
  • French cuisine
  • Japanese cuisine
  • American cuisine
    • Hawaiian cuisine
  • German cuisine

Clubs

Chocolate RS [ former ]: Upon joining Tootsuki Cooking Academy, Chika joined the Chocolate RS along with her twin sister, in order for them to learn more about it, so they could help their sister later on. She has been a member of it ever since her second year in Middle School, and it was talked that on her second year of High School she could take up the leadership of it, however not only Chika quit it, but the Chocolate RS lost against Momo Akanegakugo, which caused it to dissolve.

Shiomi Seminar [ former, later returned ]: Jun Shiomi invited Chika to join them, during the Autumn Election, after discovering Chika's talent for spicy food, which complimented her own research and Akira's own talent in fragance manipulation. With the two, Chika was able to evolve and develop her own cooking style more than she thought it was possible, and was able to also assist both Akira and Jun in their projects and research. The Seminar was dissolved during Azami's administration, after Akira lost to Souma Yukihira which caused them to be dissolved. Four months after the Régiment de Cuisine, the Shiomi Seminar was allowed to continue, and Chika returned.

Daniella's father works for Chika's and as such both ended up meeting each other. As usual, Chika didn't pay any attention to Daniella, despite the latter's admiration towards her. They never grew close, until they both attended Tootsuki.
