The all-boy answer to Food Fantasy, the Chinese answer to Touken Ranbu.Shíwùyǔ (食物语 "food story") is a Chinese turn-based mobile battle game developed by Tencent, released on September 3, 2019. It is set in a China where its dishes manifest good-looking male Anthropomorphic Personifications known as "food spirits" (食魂). Long ago, the "food deity" Yī Zhì (伊挚) built a place called Kòngsāng (空桑) to house and protect food spirits, whom he formed pacts with in the titular Tale of Food. However, Kòngsāng is then destroyed by Yi Ya, head steward of the Realm of Melanya who plans to usurp the throne from him for his master. As Kòngsāng burns, the Tale of Food becomes corrupted, threatening to turn all the food spirits into demons. The player, taking up the role of the food deity's child, a.k.a. the young master of Kòngsāng (空桑少主) and next in line as food deity, having little power to undo the corruption, destroys the Tale of Food, breaking all the spirits' contracts, erasing their memories of their life, and sending them back to their origins to save them from becoming demons. With Kòngsāng in ruins, the young master is on a quest to rebuild the place, reunite the food spirits, and defeat evil.A Singapore/Malaysia localization opened on May 27, 2020. A Japanese localization, complete with dubbing, opened on Nov 3, 2020 and closed on Apr 7, 2023. Later, an global localization with English dub was released on April 19, 2023. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
| The Tale of Food (Video Game) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death Is Cheap: It is hard to kill a food spirit – slain spirits can always be resurrected if their dishes still survive in culinary tradition, albeit with loss of memory and some alterations in personality. The only way for them to be Killed Off for Real is for the dish to be forgotten by humanity and no longer prepared. Averted with the young master's death; a whole arc is dedicated to bringing their soul back from hell. | |

Immortality Through Memory | |
| The Tale of Food (Video Game) / int_57917bb0 | comment |
Immortality Through Memory: This is how Food Spirits live; as long as the dish they embody is alive through tradition, then the spirit lives on. Otherwise, they will die if their dish becomes forgotten and lost to time. Peach Petal Congee in "Spring Nimbus" comes close being forgotten, as his dish is all but a dead tradition by the Ming Dynasty. He thankfully avoids this, as Longjing Shrimp manages to give new life and tradition to peach congee as a gift from the God of Spring. | |

Anti-Frustration Features: There are mechanics that guarantee an SSR after a certain number of summons. After an event finishes a rerun and thus is gone for good, the food spirit introduced in that event will be added to permanent summoning pool in a later update. Cooking Contests allow you to quickly participate in them without engaging in combat, without altering your ranking, and gives out a set amount of peaches. This allows players to get the rewards should their opponents be too difficult to defeat. After clearing a battle once, the Fight On option is available to use, allowing you to autopilot the battle repeatedly until you either use up all your stamina, or after a set number of runs. | |
