A Call To The Culinary: Food Wars:Shokugeki No Souma

 



I have wanted to review this for more a than a year now, delegated and found out. The anime is nice, educative, interesting, captivating and funny. The over expression to tasting the meal is a. Running gag I never get tired of and the straight man commentator climaxes what would have just been a food anime like Toriko but taken to another level with a pinch of Hajime no Ippo/Kuroko no Basket vibe. Yes it's shounen, but boy do they go all out on research. Every food is detailed and broken down to even scientific understanding, this is just a food anime it is the call to the culinary 

Food is more important than salavation and where there is no flour, there can be no bible, are among sayings that put credence where the brain fuel lies but when an anime decides to go all out and fully appreciate the act of cooking and make it majestic, glorious and even triumphant as the cooking school gears up for a challenge in a competitive Elite college come the ordinary Yukira Souma to try to blow away the mind of God' tongue Nakiri Erina granddaughter to Senzaemon Pro Chancellor of the College. It's twist and tales are sauces and condiments that almost seem to overwhelm the main dish.

You aren't hungry for the main character as other guys are unique and kings of their lanes and your appetite remains whet as to what they have in store.

this is only anime i have watched with book and a biro beside me,  writing dishes,And you will be familiarized with words like "umami" and the mixture of sauce, fruits and cooked food ( like cucumber in rice) You are steamed in the flavoured sauce, ingredients, broths and the different kind of spice and how medicinal they are.

Following Hayami keenly I have written out and listed out spices because his cooking appeals to me. (I like spicy). What more is anime than laughing and also learning new ways to cook

These characters go more than a mile in also using food and food styles to propound and propagate their philosophy. And you understand why Souma likes the one dish.

I too am a foodie and find myself hungry so anytime I watch this anime so I have to munch something in between the rivalry between Yukihira and Erinah. The friendship of the Aldini brothers and Hayami's spices, this isn't an animes It is a treasure trove of information.

Guess why recently i started cooking noodles with cucumber, i believe there is mo much information in this well researched anime that it is a call back for people to leave the restaurants and find joy in cooking again


At the end you too will join in shouting Osamatsu!! (And will definitely like it)
