In the anime, Nakiri is waiting for Jōichirō Yukihira to come, why is that? Is
it possible that Nakiri is related to Soma? Because we don't know anything
about their mothers?

shokugeki-no-soma
Are Erina Nakiri and Sōma Yukihira relatives?


It's because Joichiro is like an influence to Erina and he is really dear to
her and also he agreed to taste her cooking when she becomes a good chef. And
also no, Yukihira Soma and Erina Nakiri are not relatives.

This is explained in chapter 168 of the manga. It is stated in the
[Wiki](https://shokugekinosoma.fandom.com/wiki/J%C5%8Dichir%C5%8D_Yukihira#History)
that,

> At the age of 28, Jōichirō was summoned to the Nakiri Mansion by Senzaemon
> to discuss a matter of importance. During his visit, he met a young Erina

> continue to discuss something with Jōichirō, Erina's stomach growled.
> Jōichirō immediately prepared a dish just for her and with a single bite,
> Erina was completely enthralled not just by the unique taste of his dish,
