1. Honey Ginger Milk

A very simple recipe to try on a relaxing (or stressful) afternoon. Not only is this drink delicious, but it’ll help when you’re feeling a bit under the weather with a kick of ginger. Make it yo’self with this recipe.

2. Honey Lemons

Something that’s sweet and nutritious? Sign me up. A pick-me-up for athletes during games in Japan, these lemon slices are soaked in honey to get their head in the game. Heck, put it in your tea and save yourself the trouble of searching for some sugar or honey. Give it a go with this recipe here.

4. Mochi

This Japanese dessert is basically rice pounded into a paste. (Trust me it tastes better than it sounds.) Similar to onigiri, there are all sorts of options for fillings (think Nutella, ice cream or jam). Make it in your microwave with this recipe.

5. Tamago Kake Gohan

Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve mastered eating raw fish but now it’s time to try out eating raw egg. Don’t freak out, this recipe is an easy to make staple meal. I only discovered it last year, but it’s seriously one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever seen. Give it a go with this recipe.

6. Shiozuke

In Japan, one of the most common side dishes I’ve seen in anime is pickled vegetables or pickled cucumbers. These quick pickles are easy to make and use salt instead of vinegar. The process may take longer than the name makes you think, but those crispy pickles are worth it. Get the recipe here.

7. Tamagoyaki

I eat eggs as much as the next person for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, so I was pretty sure that I had tried all possible egg recipes. I was wrong. Fluffy eggs rolled to form a log – Japan, you’ve outdone yourself. Ditch your basic omelet and try your hand at this recipe.

1. Tamago Kake Gohan – Silver Spoon

Tamago Kake Gohan, also known as “Eggs on Rice”, is exactly what its name suggests. You only need to know how to steam a bowl of rice and crack a raw egg without leaving eggshells behind.

2. Ham Noodles – Ponyo

Fans of Ponyo will remember Ponyo’s obsession with food, especially her love for ham. The umami dish doesn’t have an official name, but it goes by a few monikers – such as ham noodles, Ponyo noodles, and Ponyo ramen. Here’s how you can level up your instant noodles with just 2 ingredients:

4. Salmon with cream sauce – Porco Rosso

Porco Rosso’s salmon dish doesn’t have an official name, but avid stans of Studio Ghibli have noted that it’s basically a salmon steak with cream-based gravy and baby carrots on the side. While the following recipe isn’t exact, the resulting dish does look very similar to the OG dish spotted in the anime film.

5. Cream Stew – The Secret World of Arrietty

While The Secret World of Arrietty didn’t show a recipe for this dish on screen, many fans have surmised that it is a classic Japanese cream stew. Made with vegetables and a milk-based roux, this heart-warming stew is best served hot on a cold day. For an even heartier dish, you can add chicken or pork cubes.

6. Pork Katsudon – Yuri!!! on ICE

Yuri!!! on ICE is a sports anime about Yuri Katsuki, a Japanese figure skater training for the Grand Prix Championship. Pork Katsudon takes on a central role as it represents Yuri’s zest for ice-skating.

7. Furikake Rice – Food Wars

Furikake Rice first made its debut in episode 2 of Food Wars. Although it is only made of rice, scrambled eggs, chicken, and green onions, this simple dish relies on a secret ingredient to make it special: gelatin cubes. This recipe is a tad difficult if you have little cooking experience, but it gets easier after you’ve prepared the chicken broth.

8. Chaliapin Steak Don – Food Wars

Chaliapin Steak Don appeared in a cooking showdown during episode 7 of Food Wars. A talented chef, Soma, surprises the panel of judges with an addictive meat-based dish made from cheap ingredients. If you’ve recently transcended from “newbie” to “being able to cook”, beef up your cooking skills with this Japanese-inspired steak.

Katsudon - Yuri!!! on Ice

You might not want to be a pork cutlet, but with this recipe you can totally eat a pork cutlet! And, really, what could be more desirable than a steaming bowl of rice, breaded pork cutlet, onions, and egg.

Chocolate Curry Buns - Black Butler

So, this is one of the most requested recipes, and also one that has taken me the most time to figure out. If you’re looking for a quicker, more authentically Japanese curry bun, replace the curry roux and filling with a packet of instant curry and follow the instructions on a package.

Ramen - Naruto

Guess who’s back! I finally have enough time and energy to make up some more recipes, and what better recipe to celebrate than some ramen? I got a lot of suggestions for this one, and I understand why. When I was big into Naruto, those hot steaming bowls of ramen seemed like the absolute perfect meal.

Onigiri - Pokémon

So, for all of you who thought yesterday’s recipe was serious, joke’s on you (Happy 1st of April!). And for those of you who aren’t quite in on the joke, when 4Kids was dubbing Pokémon, they though little children wouldn’t understand what some of the foreign strange foods were, so they changed it in the script.

Pokémon - JELLY-FILLED DONUTS

I LOVE jelly-filled donuts! I love making them for friends to take on all of our adventures, because what could possibly be more nutritious, hearty, and just keep you going than a jelly filled donut? Not to mention how AMERICAN they are! And kid friendly! So everyone, make jelly filled donuts for your hiking trip which involves battling little critters and half-brained villains today!.

Getting my CHEF on!

Embarking on this week-long cooking challenge couldn’t have been done with only a couple of spoons and a dozen eggs. I needed to feel like a proper chef. Listening to Erina-sama lecture everyone in Shokugeki about ingredients, then watching the Yakitate Japan bakers circling the world for the finest flours, I knew that I needed something extra.

Day 3: Shirokuma Cafe (Episode 17) – Japanese Curry and Naan

Japanese curry is such a beloved staple that anime characters have been consistently gobbling it up. Anime moms are shown making it, school cafeterias serving it, and even talking bears cooking curry in the forest. I’m talking about the characters from Shirokuma Cafe, also known as Polar Bear Cafe in English.

Mei Mei Panda Curry from the Real Cafe

For this one, the challenge was in the decoration, so I used instant curry and instant rice. The little green snow peas were the hardest to find, so maybe check a big fancy supermarket first. Heart-shaped carrots are easily made with a small metal cutter, and difficult if done with a knife.

Day 4: Yakitate! Japan! (Episode 14 & 15) – Yakisoba Bread challenge

Here I am, recreating a recipe from an anime all about bakers and I chose the only challenge the bakers face that doesn’t involve baking. Please put away the pitchforks, and hear me out.

Day 5: Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma (Season 1, Episode 1) – Fake Pork Roast

The Holy Grail for cooking anime fans! The fake pork roast cements Yukihira Souma’s culinary mastery early on in the anime and had fans hooked to the show. Many have tried to recreate this dish, curious as to whether it’s possible or is it just anime make-believe. Turns out – it’s very possible.

BONUS DISH: Bacon Miso Soup by Yukihira Souma

If you’re a person who’s not going to spend half a day agonizing over bacon-izing a potato, I have a simpler recipe from the same anime for you. In his transformed bento, Yukihira made an appetizing twist on the humble miso soup. He fried up some onions and bacon, before adding water and dissolving the miso in. Simple as that.

Weekend: Cocktail from Bartender anime (Final episode)

As if cooking 7 dishes instead of 5 wasn’t enough, I just had to try my hand at cocktails too. Just like the passionate chefs, bakers, restaurant owners of anime, the Bartender anime is about a cocktail master in his hidden Eden Hall bar in Ginza and hist customers.

Katsudon (Pork Cutlet Bowl)

Not only did the flamboyant anime series, Yuri!!! on Ice bring us a non-traditional gay show, but it also featured some delicious treats. Every time Yuuri Katsuki wins, he’s allowed to eat this tasty dish. But, he continually breaks this rule. Wouldn’t you too? Katsudon is a heavenly mix of deep-fried pork cutlet, eggs, and rice.

Taiyaki

Almost every comedy and romantic anime series has a perky little girl eating “taiyaki.” But just because it’s shaped like and looks like a fried fish, doesn’t mean it’s an actual fish. Taiyaki are pancakes, sometimes made from waffle batter, that are shaped like a fish and filled with something sweet like chocolate or red bean paste.

Yaki Dango

At the beginning of Mugen, Jin, and Fuu’s weird and epic adventure in Samurai Champloo, the trio are looking for food. When they see a food stand along the road, they spend what little they have on “dango.” The spherical snacks are made from mochiko (rice flour), and they can be eaten year-round.

Onigiri

Better known as a rice ball, onigiri is a quick snack made out of Japanese rice and often wrapped in seaweed. There are many ways to prepare the perfect onigiri — some opt to fill it with umeboshi (pickled plums), fish, jelly, or meat.

Ramen

Ramen is one of those foods that has taken on a life of its own. While many don’t know how ramen became such an instant hit with anime fans outside of Japan, it may be due to the popular long-running series Naruto. Ramen was not only seen as food, but also a symbol of friendship, family, and happiness.

Curry

While technically not a Japanese food, curry is consumed so often that it can be considered a national dish. The Japanese version is somewhat thicker and sweeter than its Indian counterpart.

Pocky

Pocky is a popular Japanese biscuit stick coated in chocolate. It comes in a wide range of flavors including strawberry, cookies and cream, melon, matcha green tea, and much more. So Pocky is the perfect snack to share with anyone, anytime, anywhere.

10. Ichiraku Ramen (Naruto)

How can someone eat something their entire life and not get sick of it?

7. Cho Hakkai cooking (Saiyuki)

If you have to feed a stomach as big as Son Goku’s, you have to be adept at cooking!

30. Wakako

Wakakozaze is also a culinary journey through Japan. Thus, while watching the series, you’ll be witnessing Japanese cooking, and the distinct customs that come with it is a pleasant experience.

29. Cooking with Valkyries

Cooking With Valkyries is a non-canon anime series developed by MiHoYo; it features the Valkyries and other characters cooking and preparing meals. Even though Cooking With Valkyries is not canon, several episodes are based on real-life events.

28. Dream-Colored Patissiere

Fans of pastries will enjoy this series. It includes step-by-step instructions! Even better, the series features a cast of attractive male characters who are well worth seeing.

27. Moyashimon

Of course, some food anime has notions that are outside the box and Moyashimon is one of them. Instead of the usual anime scenario, in which all characters demonstrate how to create or enjoy delectable meals, this movie depicts more.

26. Cooking Papa

Tochi Ueyama is the author and illustrator of the Japanese manga series Cooking Papa. Cooking Papa is one of the all-time great culinary anime series.

25. Silver Spoon

Silver Spoon is worth viewing for various reasons, including the fact that it uses a realistic style of animation. In addition, it has a lot of comedic touches and has excellent character development, not just for Hachiken-kun but also for his classmates.

24. Wakakozake

The food in this drama is a lot of fun to watch. Otherwise, there is absolutely no narrative, which is what makes this show so unique. It is similar to popcorn in that you can eat it whenever you want without feeling guilty about how long it takes.
