Sonoka Kikuchi (
Appearance[]
Sonoka is a serene-looking young woman who is similar to Hinako Inui, with waist-length hair accompanied by a chest-length hair strand tied at the bottom by a black bow (which is generally over her right shoulder) with bangs covering her forehead, light-blue eyes and a curvy figure.
During the Autumn Election Semifinals, her outfit consisted of a white dress shirt and a dark-colored vested skirt.
Personality[]
Sonoka is extremely similar to Megumi Tadokoro and Jun Shiomi, where she has an extremely polite and reserved personality.
Because of this soft manner, Sonoka usually finds herself intimidated by her more-outspoken associate and former senior, Taki Tsunozaki.
History[]
Sonoka previously attended Tōtsuki as a part of the 89th generation where she was among the few to graduate. During her time at Tōtsuki, Sonoka held the 2nd seat of the Elite Ten Council. After graduating, Sonoka wasted no time and quickly established her own restaurant, Shunkatei.
Plot[]
Main Article: Yukihira Vs. Mimasaka Semifinal Shokugeki
Sonoka was invited to be one of the five judges at the Autumn Election's Main Tournament Semifinals, being reunited with her fellow alumni. Like Taki Tsunozaki, Sonoka viewed the Shokugeki from above and was initially skeptical about Sōma Yukihira, whom she found to be in a disadvantage in creating a Western dish like beef stew.
When Subaru Mimasaka came and served his beef stew to the judges, Sonoka was first to taste the dish and found it delicious.
Cooking Style[]
While Sonoka has not been shown cooking in the series, according to her profile, she is a Western-cuisine expert and runs her own restaurant, Shunkatei.
