some time and I Shinji has always been passionate about food, we started watching the anime comes from manga Oishinbo (literally, the greedy of good things) . Of course, like many comics interesting, is not published in Italy and only recently began to emerge in the U.S. (Viz). In Japan, however, the publication began in 1983 and still goes on today in total, think, 103 volumes. The story is
this: Yamaoka, oishinbo the title, is a journalist and he was charged, along with newcomer Kurita, create a special menu to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the newspaper. Yamaoka is a connoisseur of Japanese cuisine and more, and each chapter / episode resolves a doubt, explains a mystery, teaches something. The secret of his knowledge and his father, with whom he broke off relations, which is a famous ceramic artist and expert in traditional arts, has a private club for gourmets of the highest level.
The anime was broadcast in Japan from 1988 to 1992.
For me it is really very interesting because it tells not only about Japanese cuisine meant as preparation, but also on history, on the birth of the various dishes, utensils, the feeling with which we must cook and much more.
amazing things for me this anime are two: first, it makes you hungry even though it is an anime (and is not easy to draw the food.) But I assure you it makes you mouth water. The second is that in Japan there are many manga and anime of this kind, and that you will read / watch the children. This is amazing because the speeches are often quite complicated, we talk about the amount of fat that a fish must have to be good (in a season and then you eat, in another not), what should be a high fire because Cantonese rice is good, and things like that.
But everything is linked to having the Japanese passion for food. Who reads a bit 'manga if they will be noticed: especially in shojo manga there are always lots of references to different dishes. The Japanese are open to anything new: a few not eat something because "I do not know what is." Another thing that surprised me at the time is that there are very few vegetarians (at least as far as I know).
short, just like eating, I think much of us Italians collective imagination that we hold this record.
who understands the Japanese do a tour on YouTube (the first episode is here ), it's worth it.
