Judges

Since this is a competition, the judging process needs to be objective and not subjective. Hence, the judge will come from non-human representative. This is when Elementals and Awakened Animals plays a vital role in judging. The lineup consist of two awakened animals and one elemental as an overseer of taste. Each and every year theme will be different and every contestant will be judge by three things.
Creativity, Adaptability, and Taste.

Creativity

Adaptability

Rations are limited and ingredients are limited as well here in Aranama. This is a test to see if the contestant are capable to produce something that can cater to non-human patron.

Taste

Of course, this is one of the most important factor as well. Everyone eats with their eye first but ultimately they'll need to process the food with their palate.
