The Gourmet Supremos is a group initially comprised of three friends who travel around the world in a quest to improve their culinary skills. After completing The Gourmet Supremos: The Importance of Eating Well, Kamei Munehisa joins the group as their bodyguard and fourth member.
They are the focus of The Gourmet Supremos, a series of World Quests and Commissions in Inazuma and Sumeru.

Overview[]
Making food with unknown ingredients is the principle of Gourmet Supremos.
Though they all share the same goal of improving their skills and cooking good food, each Gourmet Supremo has their own unique perspective on food.
Xudong, who was likely the one who named the group,[1] is a chef that originally ran a restaurant in Liyue[2] and had a cooking rivalry with Xiangling's father, Chef Mao. He travels the world in the hopes of finding a "breakthrough," but struggles with inspiration.[3] However, this does not stop him from experimenting with dishes; whenever he gets a new recipe, he only follows it for a few days before he begins to "improve" them. These improvements are often ways to make the dish less expensive, much to Parvaneh's bewilderment.[4] He has a desire to make sure the people around him never go hungry, and believes that if everybody in the world could eat well, it would be a better place.[5]
Parvaneh is a scholar from the Sumeru Akademiya, focused on her mission of creating an "ultimate seasoning," a seasoning that can make any dish delicious. The "ultimate seasoning" is the topic of her thesis statement, though the other Gourmet Supremos and her fellow academics question whether such a thing is possible. Julie and Xudong are wary of the seasoning and usually try to stop her when she seasons their food.[1] Her reason for joining the Gourmet Supremos, despite her hatred of the name, is partially influenced by Xudong's unconventional cooking methods; similarly, Xudong was likely willing to take her in because of her skills.[4] She has particular tastes and does not find plain foods like Onigiri very impressive.[6]
Julie is an adventurer of extreme focus, who enjoys eating and has the perspective that "it's all good as long it tastes good." She has no issue with most types of food, except for Parvaneh's special seasoning.[6]
Kamei Munehisa is a former samurai of the Shogun's Army, a serious man with deeply-felt opinions about cooking. His best dish is the Tri-Flavored Skewer, one among a number of small dishes he often made to go with wine while he worked for the Shogunate and later teaches to Xudong.[2][4] He believes in creating dishes that are of perfect quality, and explains that his heart is never satisfied with mere acceptability. Munehisa refers to this as the "extreme path," and relates it to swordsmanship. He hopes to enlighten Xudong to his pursuit of perfection, though the younger man seems hesitant.[2]
After traveling in Inazuma, they travel to Sumeru next, as Parvaneh needed to turn in her research results to the Akademiya.[5][7]
Trivia[]
- Original names for the group included "pika pika rice team" (Chinese: 噼咔噼咔饭饭队 Pīkāpīkā Fànfàn Duì, "Boom-Boom Shaka-Laka Rice-Rice Team") and "Gulu Gulu dessert team" (Chinese: 咕噜咕噜甜甜队 Gūlūgūlū Tiántián Duì, "Hungry-Hungry Sweet-Sweet Team").
