Wake-Up Kiss is the 42nd chapter of Shokugeki no Soma.
Plot Summary[]
This chapter covers the first half of the showdown between Sōma and Jōichirō.
Daimidō, Isshiki, and Megumi were the chosen judges for the showdown.
The judges decide on a morning dish that will not overwhelm a sleepy Megumi, Daimidō (due to her old age), and a starving Isshiki (who just finished fieldwork).
Of the two, Sōma manages to finish first. His dish is an Apple Risotto garnished with Bacon, which receives good reviews as the perfect answer to their criteria.
However, Jōichirō's aura as he serves his dish after Sōma makes Daimido state that even though Soma's dish exceeds their expectations, she thinks Jōichirō's dish will easily surpass his son's.
