Iron Chef 7

Chen vs Xie Huaxian (Lobster) (1999)

Sakai vs Kamimura Kouei (Cod) (1999)

Kobe vs. Costantino Gemmoli (Bell Pepper) (1999)

Morimoto vs. Hiroyuki Hakogi (Yellowtail) (1999)

Toshiro Kandagawa is not happy with the results from the Ohta Faction challengers so far. Two have tried to defeat Morimoto, and two have failed. Ohta responds by choosing a challenger that is skilled at using salt. This challenger first met Ohta when he was only 15. Eight years later, he was one of Ohta's favorite cooks. He feels that salt is essential for drawing out the natural flavors of the ingredients. Will the third time be the charm for the Ohta Faction.

Morimoto vs Tetsuji Iio (King Crab) (1999)

The Royal Park Hotel's Grand Chef Mitsuo Shimamura's last two proteges defeated the Iron Chefs. Iio is Shimamura's right hand man, and his strongest yet to enter Kitchen Stadium.
