Anime is not just characters with tremendous action and an amazing storyline. It’s more than that. Emotions, fun, lifestyle, and also food. You can taste the different cultures from other parts of the world. For your bored taste buds, I have given created a list of the best anime food for you to refresh them. And a must-try for new flavors on your platter.
Ramen
The very famous ramen from anime is the topper of the list. And my personal favorite too. If you have seen Japanese anime you aren’t a true fan of it if you don’t know what ramen is. This classic Japanese dish with noodles and broth soup is the all-time craving of our anime characters. Like Naruto at Ichiraku Ramen shop, who loves Miso Chashu ramen. And like Goku and Beerus from Dragon Ball Z.
This Japanese dish is a cooked blend of wheat noodles, broth, veggies, and meat. The perfect topping or soft-boiled sliced egg boosts the ramen craving. The good part of it is that you can cook the way you want. No hard and fast rule. It’s entirely up to you how you want it and how you can create your version of it.
You can make it spicy and sour, depending on your taste. It’s all done as it’s easy to make and you’re the chef. But the bottom line is ramen is comfort or soul food.
Onigiri
This innovative food is delicious and nutritious as well. It is a triangle-shaped white ice ball that is centered with vegetables and meat. It looks like a big sushi ball but it’s not because it doesn’t have raw fish in it.
It is very popular due to its accessibility and affordable fee. It’s the favorite go-to snack in Japan. And it’s perfect for high school students and early morning workers who are short on time for a good meal. This cute snack can be seen in many anime like Pokemon, Demon Slayer, Sailor Moon, etc.
Mitarashi Dango
This variant dish Dango has various platters to serve. But the best one is the Mitarashi Dango. A Dango is a rice flour dumpling soaked in soy sauce glaze which is grilled. It is stacked up in a wooden skewer. And it’s deliciously eaten in springtime.
This sweet chewy tango snack as dessert goes perfectly with tea. Naruto, Sailor Moon, Demon Slayers, and other anime characters are fond of it.
Omurice
This iconic food is delicious and filled with protein. It’s an omelet packed with rice, veggies, and meat. Regardless of what time it is in the day, you can enjoy it. You can decorate it with ketchup or plain parsley. This food is a must-try for a fan of Jean from Attack of Titans. This food is one of Jean’s favorite foods as her childhood memories. And helped her win a cooking competition against Sasha.
Takoyaki
This salty chewy street food will be your favorite once you try it. It is a wheat batter ball filled with chopped octopus, green onions, tempura, and veggies. It’s served with various sauces and seasoning. And it’s served in various forms such as on a skewer or chopsticks.
Crepe
This sweet-savory French-style pancake is delicious and easily accessible. It’s very famous and trendy among high school students. Especially when they are out shopping.
Crepes are eaten in various versions in different countries in South Asia. For example, South Korea and Thailand have their crepe version with seafood. You can have yours too. Give it a try.
Bento Box
This box is a staple food often seen in anime. This is a home-cooked meal box with rice, meatballs, stir-fried veggies, and other side dishes. It’s considered to be balanced and healthy food. Our anime characters from Pokemon, Sailor Moon, and Inuyasha have various characters from high school students bringing their bento boxes.
You too can try them with your cooking skills and according to your mood and spice level. This is a list of the best anime food you can try. Mention yours in the comments
