Most people would assume that anime would focus more on making backgrounds, characters, and effects look as awe-inspiring as possible, with the superfluous details being ignored in the grand scheme of things. This couldn't be further from the truth though, since it's the anime with amazing attention to detail that tends to become popular.
Even something as simple as animated food in anime takes on a whole new life of its own when a ton of care is put into making said food look as delicious and appetizing as possible. Most people would agree that the following anime take the cake when it comes to animating the most delectable items of food in anime history.
10 Ramen (Naruto)
Ramen is something that Naruto can have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In fact, he was so infatuated with Ichiraku's ramen that the store ended up reaching astronomical heights of popularity after he became the hero of the Leaf Village.
It's easy to see why Naruto loves ramen so much, given how flavorful this broth is. Ramen comes in all shapes and forms, and people who love classic Japanese food are doing themselves a disservice if they haven't tried it yet.
9 Oden Soup (One Piece)
The fact that a character in the show is named after oden proves just how much Kozuki loves this broth. Given how light yet tasty the broth is, one can't really fault him either.
Oden is the perfect soupy meal during the winter season. This hot broth warms people up while also letting them taste a delectable and balanced set of flavors.
8 Dorayaki (Doraemon)
Doraemon is a hilarious show starring the titular robot who goes back in time to prevent Nobita from slacking off all the time. Given how complex this robot is, it's rather odd that Doraemon exhibits a ton of human-like behavior at times.
This includes his incessant obsession with dorayaki, a popular dessert in Japan. This red bean cake is absolutely delicious and addictive, and most people who've tasted this unique dessert understand why Doraemon can't stop scarfing them down.
7 Katsudon (My Hero Academia)
The combination of Katsu curry and rice is pretty common in Japan when it comes to an average meal. A bowl of katsudon is a wholesome and all-encompassing meal that is Deku's dish of choice.
Japanese curry has a unique flavor and texture of its own that make it such a joy to ingest. Fans of Japanese cuisine are really missing out if they haven't tasted this combination yet.
6 Takoyaki (Kill La Kill)
Kill la Kill is a parody of shonen anime tropes, throwing pretty much everything but the kitchen sink in a show that is full to the brim with amazing animation and battles. It also features takoyaki quite heavily, which looks quite delectable indeed.
Takoyaki is one of the most popular forms of street food in Japan, consisting of a simple fried ball of dough with octopus inside it. It's extremely tasty and has become one of the most popular fast-food items in the country for obvious reasons.
5 Soba Noodles (D.Gray-man)
Soba noodles are made of buckwheat and can be combined with a bunch of sauces and broths to make a meal that has a great texture. It's extremely popular in Japan and is used in a ton of meals that anime fans will love to eat.
Kanda from D.Gray-man loves soba noodles so much that he has no problems eating them three times a day. This may seem excessive, but there's no denying that soba noodles are pretty versatile and taste amazing.
4 Sakura Mochi (Demon Slayer)
Japanese food is extremely diverse and tasty, with the country's lineup of desserts being pretty phenomenal too. Such is the case with sakura mochi, which consists of sweet pink rice with the patented red bean paste filling that's wrapped up in a cherry blossom leaf.
Mitsuri Kanroji from Demon Slayer takes her obsession with this dessert to new heights. Apparently, the reason her hair is pink is that she eats a ton of sakura mochi, which is just the most ridiculous fact ever.
3 Coffee Jelly (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.)
Psychics have become quite popular in anime over the past decade or so, and Kusuo Saiki is no exception here. He attempts to hide his psychic powers from everyone at school and doesn't like interacting with people too much.
One of the few joys he has in life is coffee jelly, another popular Japanese dessert. Anime viewers who love coffee will get a kick out of eating this dessert, which has a beautiful texture and lets people experience the complex taste of coffee through a completely unique medium.
2 Black Sesame And Honey Dumplings (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)
It's going to be a while until JoJolion gets adapted in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, so this particular dessert is yet to become popular. However, given the exotic nature of the dessert, it's easy to see why black sesame and honey dumplings are so widespread during th manga.
Just the name itself is enough to make most fans salivate. Asian people certainly love their desserts, with each and every item having a unique and delectable flavor profile that anyone would want to taste.
1 Everything (Food Wars!)
Any person even remotely familiar with anime knew it was only a matter of time before Food Wars! would come into the picture. This anime is known mainly for its amazing food items, while also being notorious for the manner in which people overreact to tasting said food.
It would be impossible to mention just one of the many amazing dishes that have been cooked in this anime. Everything from the sumire karaage roll to the soupe de poison ramen looks absolutely delectable, and most fans would hear their stomachs growling whenever any meal is shown in all its tasty splendiferousness.
