Jun Shiomi (汐見 潤 Shiomi Jun) is a 74th Generation Tōtsuki Academy Alumnus and a former resident of the Polar Star Dormitory. She is one of the lecturers in Tōtsuki Culinary Academy as well as the professor of the Shiomi Seminar before it was disbanded. un is the youngest lecturer in the academy, but is actually older than she physically appears. Despite the fact that she is in her 30's, she is shorter than both Sōma and Megumi and has a noticeably youthful face, causing both Sōma and Megumi to mistake her as a middle school student. Jun normally has her hair tied in a high ponytail and wears square glasses. When she was introduced, she wore a T-shirt with the word pattern spice written on it, and track shorts. When she entered her lecturer mentality, she wore a long, fitting lab coat over her casual clothes, though the tail of the coat slightly dragged on the ground. When she attended Tōtsuki, she wore a standard Tōtsuki uniform and her ponytail was noticeably shorter than its current length. She also wore circular glasses instead of her current square glasses. A bookworm who has intensive knowledge of herbs and spices, Jun is an expert on the science of spices and their effects in cooking. Once she enters "lecture mode", she will solely focus on her lecture and will not notice anything else. While she has the educational knowledge, it is her assistant, Akira Hayama, who puts that knowledge into practice. Similarly to Megumi, Jun is extremely polite, has low self-esteem, and constantly apologizes for her actions. This once led to a very humorous, endless apology loop with Megumi. Despite being a lecturer in the academy, she is often scolded by Akira for her many faults such as sleeping on the ground or forgetting to care for the various spice plants in their vicinity, since most of her chores and duties are being taken care of by Akira. Regardless, Jun has confidence in Akira's abilities and mastery of spices even though she is sometimes livid about some of Akira's crude jokes. Being one of Polar Star residents during the dorm's Golden Era, Jun knew both Gin Dōjima and Jōichirō Saiba during her time. Unfortunately, Jun is more hostile towards the latter as Jōichirō used her as a guinea pig for many of his failed dishes, many of which left her emotionally scarred, creating a grudge against him. This grudge, unfortunately has an effect on Sōma whom she immediately punched when he told her that he was Jōichirō's son and initially refused to help him learn about spices.
