Delicious in Dungeon
When knight Laios Touden’s adventuring group is saved from peril by his mage sister Falin, she tragically falls victim to the very dragon they were battling. With minutes to spare and funds at their disposal, Laios suggests to his companions, elven mage Marcille Donato and halfling locksmith Chilchuck Tims, that they consume the monsters they encounter on their journey through the dungeon as a means to rescue Falin. Upon crossing paths with skilled dwarven cook Senshi, the party embarks on a mission to safely prepare some edible monster fare before the dragon consumes Falin.
In a less conventional style, the characters’ cookbooks in this anime offer ingredients that have a more robust, wild game flavor. If you’re seeking an adrenaline-fueled journey to pair with your main course of fantastical feasts, Delicious in Dungeon is just what you need.
Delicious in Dungeon can be streamed on Netflix.
Isekai Izakaya: Japanese Food From Another World
At the Japanese izakaya Nobu, lead chef Nobuyuki Yazawa and server Shinobu Senke diligently work to offer nothing but top-tier traditional dishes and beverages. Although it may appear as an ordinary eatery, Nobu hides a secret: it opens to another dimension. Drawing in visitors from the fantastical city of Aitheria, buzz spreads rapidly, making this foreign restaurant the town’s most popular topic due to its intriguing new menus. Nobuyuki and Shinobu soon find themselves catering to numerous Aitherian residents with ravenous appetites and captivating tales.
In simpler terms, Isekai Izakaya is a unique blend of fantasy and gastronomy, where it creatively explores exotic dishes from different worlds. While the concept of tasting extraordinary foods may seem overly literal, the idea of savoring mouth-watering delicacies from faraway places isn’t hard to relate to.
Isekai Izakaya: Japanese Food From Another World can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
Food Wars
In his dad’s restaurant, Souma Yukihira is refining his abilities as a driven chef, showcasing innovative dishes that delight customers while aiming to eventually outshine even his acclaimed father in the realm of cooking. However, when Dad (Jouichirou) announces plans to relocate to New York for a fresh venture, Souma elects to attend Tootsuki Culinary Academy, an elite institution known for its cut-throat curriculum and students who match the intensity. To surpass his father in culinary mastery, Souma must endure tough cooking contests and ultimately graduate.
You should be aware that the characters in this show may not always enjoy the food they eat, and it might not be suitable for younger viewers. Despite anime being known for presenting food as an art form, “Food Wars” stands out with its ultra-realistic 4K depictions of dishes.
Food Wars can be streamed on Hulu, HIDIVE, and Crunchyroll where available.
Food for the Soul
Five girls, adjusting to campus life, seek to infuse excitement into their daily routines. They establish the Food Culture Exploration Club! Among them are timid yet gifted cook Mako Kawai, determined and dependable Kurea Furutachi who assists in managing her family’s eatery, spirited club president Shinon Ogawa (also Mako’s old friend), composed Tsutsuji Higa, and Nana Hoshi, a former puzzle club member. Alongside famed food content creator Mokotaro, these budding university students embark on a quest for mouthwatering meals to sample.
Despite kicking off in the Spring 2025 anime season, this series has an intriguing premise that hints at being a delightful slice-of-life show featuring adorable girls engaged in everyday activities. Who wouldn’t be drawn in by the charm of these characters enjoying their meals?
Food for the Soul can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
Campfire Cooking in Another World
with My Absurd Skill
Tsuyoshi Mukouda, an ordinary office worker, is unexpectedly whisked away to another realm where he’s called as a hero for the Kingdom of Reijseger. However, when it’s discovered that his unique ability lies in “Online Grocery”, a skill seemingly devoid of combat prowess, he manages to escape the role since it appears to be useless. To Mukouda’s surprise, this non-combative talent unexpectedly thrives, enabling him to afford goods and food from Japan that are considered luxuries in this world.
When his exceptional cooking skills catch the attention of the legendary wolf Fel, a contract is formed allowing Fel to be Mukouda’s companion. Together, they traverse the realm, engaging in adventures, trading, and naturally, cooking.
This series combines elements from traditional Japanese ingredients, fantastical settings reminiscent of video games, and a touch of economics while traveling with a wolf companion, making it similar to the blend of Delicious in Dungeon, Isekai Izakaya, and Spice and Wolf. In simpler terms, you could say it’s like these three series wrapped into one tasty roll.
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
Fighting Foodons
In this world, conflicts are resolved by combating Foodons, peculiar creatures with distinct talents that are crafted by chefs using enchanted cards known as Meal Tickets on food dishes. With everyone being subjected to the tyranny of King Gorge and his Glutton Gormandizer empire, along with the wicked Glutton Clawdia, 11-year-old Chase is determined to resist and excel as a skilled Foodon chef. Accompanied by his younger sister Karen and fellow chef Pie Tin, they unite in an effort to thwart the Gluttons from abducting chefs and compelling them to develop potent, malevolent Foodons.
Foodons Battle is just as underappreciated in gourmet anime as adding chives to instant noodles. If you’re yearning for a delicious comedy adventure that blends elements of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and Pokémon, then this flavorful fighting anime is perfect for you.
Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits
In a unique predicament, Aoi Tsubaki survives encounters with ethereal beings known as Ayakashi, which are visible only to her, by cooking delicious meals in an attempt to keep them from feasting on her instead. One such spirit, famished and opportunistic, approaches her for food, transporting Aoi unexpectedly into the concealed realm of spirits. The spirit unveils himself as Master Innkeeper Oodanna, a formidable ogre-god, who explains that Aoi’s grandfather had pledged her as collateral for his debt to the spirit. With the burden of the debt now on Aoi, she resists becoming the bride of the ogre god by opening a restaurant within Oodanna’s inn to repay the debt herself.
Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits” is an appealing option for those seeking a dash of spice in their fantasy, coupled with a gradual build-up of romantic tension. In this otherworldly inn, Aoi discovers that there’s more to savor than just the spirits appreciating her culinary skills.
Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
Toriko
In the Era of Fine Dining, the world is abundant with exquisite dishes such as gigantic ears of corn and towering hamburgers that seem to sprout up everywhere like unwanted weeds, and a fusion of seafood and meat in one enormous, mouthwatering creature. While there are always chefs and food enthusiasts, it takes great courage to search for rare, delectable ingredients, and those who do are known as Gourmet Hunters. Toriko is not just any Gourmet Hunter; he is the most famous, having discovered 2% of all known ingredients. Equipped with a unique arsenal of culinary combat skills, Toriko, accompanied by his talented five-star chef friend Komatsu, battles against dangerously delicious monsters, malevolent organizations, and food itself to complete his Grand Menu of Existence.
Toriko’s strength and hunger are as immense as the enemies he encounters, rivaling those of characters like Goku from Dragon Ball and Luffy from One Piece. In a remarkable coincidence, they all came together in a joint episode, feasting on an enormous meal that was fit for a monster.
Toriko can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
Sweetness and Lightning
Kouhei Inuzaka is a widowed father, diligently working as a teacher, striving to give his daughter Tsumugi the best life possible. With limited cooking abilities, he often resorts to ready-made meals from nearby convenience stores. An unexpected turn of events arises when Kouhei’s student, Kotori Iida, learns about his solitary dinners due to her mother’s work commitments. Moved by this, Kotori extends an invitation for Kouhei and Tsumugi to join her for dinner at her family’s seldom-open restaurant. This marks the start of a narrative that goes beyond just learning cooking skills; it delves into the development of a warm, culinary bond among these characters.
This show stirs up feelings as deeply as the cozy dinners cooked by the trio at home, emphasizing small joys that we frequently overlook such as savoring more than just delicious meals, but also cherishing the warmth and bond of family.
Yumeiro Patissiere
Despite being clumsy and lacking success thus far, Ichigo Amano unexpectedly uncovers a remarkable talent for taste-testing when she encounters renowned pastry chef Henri Lucas. Impressed by her potential, he extends an invitation for her to attend the esteemed St. Marie Academy. Although Ichigo has no prior experience in dessert making, Henri’s personal endorsement results in her being grouped with the top students at this prestigious pastry school called the Sweets Princes. Guided by magical beings known as Sweets Spirits, who help fulfill the dreams of patissiers, Ichigo refines her sweet-making abilities and works diligently to excel in dessert competitions.
Savory dish shows are delightful, but wrapping up a ten-course menu with an anime focused on desserts feels satisfying. If you’re intrigued by diving into this borderline magical girl culinary series, consider watching Doreimani’s video where she attempts to replicate these complex yet fashionable sweets.
