Koizumi from Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles is a ramen connoiseur – a true ramen foodie who will stop at nothing to have her ramen and eat it too. In this episode, Koizumi treats a lost child to a bowl of ramen, straight from the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum. It is only after the fact that she returns the child, but hey, if I was lost, I’d probably enjoy having a hearty bowl of ramen. The child’s mother, overwhelmed by gratitude, gives Koizumi a tick

Just chuck everything into a pan and voila! A delicious and super easy meal emerges! Well, who knew such a thing would make its way into an anime? I certainly wasn’t expecting it when this recipe showed up in Laid-Back Camp, but I really felt compelled to make it when the show practically outlined the entire recipe from start to finish. I mean, how much easier could it get

It’s no secret that Cardcaptor Sakura is one of my favorite series, so of course when I saw this cheesecake being made by Sakura, Kero, and Tomoyo, I knew I had to give it a try. I mean, they even gave us the recipe in the anime- how could I resist? First step…get someone to translate this for me. I speak and read a little Japanese, but not enough to read a whole recipe. Luckily for me, I have a few friends who are fluent, so I enlist
Penguin SnacksFeb 2, 20184 minCrunchyroll # 77: Pineapple Ramen from “Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen”Learn how to make it here. Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen, at the outset, seems like an innocent and harmless anime. It is a nice little show about a girl, Koizumi-san, who, you guessed it, LOVES ramen. A lot. I’m honestly not sure how she’s able to consume so much ramen, sometimes up to an estimated 5 times a day. I mean, I’m a fan of ramen, but that seems… a little extreme. That’s not the end of it, though! She loves ALL KINDS of ramen. Ramen and burger combinations? Check. Super

Laid-Back Camp, the adorable new 2018 winter anime, is all about a girl getting away from the hustle and bustle of regular life to go camping for the weekend. As someone who just came back from a two-week winter break, I can tell you that there is no better thing to do while “getting away from it all” than eating some really, really good food. To be fair, ca

First big thing we need to address: Erina’s father somehow thinks it’s a good idea to shut down one of the dormitories that houses students at his own academy. His justification is that the house is set apart from the school and therefore hard to control, which is all well and good, but let’s be real…WHERE WILL THE STUDENTS LIVE INSTEAD? Seriously, you don’t just shut down a dorm because you don’t like that you can’t control the kids there. Logistic

I’m on a first name basis with the lady who runs the local cupcake shop in my town. I visit at LEAST three times a week just to satiate my cupcake cravings. I’ve wracked up so many frequent customer points that I barely have to shell out money for these treats any more and you know what? Sadly, cupcakes just don’t really show up all that often in anime, so I never have much of an

As a food blogger that focuses on anime food, this was very intriguing to me. However, the only thing she really ate was THIS: I was immediately befuddled. Was this meatloaf? Something else? On first sight, I thought it was meatloaf. I decided to see what everyone on Twitter thought, and the resounding conclusion from almost everyone was this: I was really thrown for a loop. If

Bananas and citrus and honey and milk – whip it all into a drink, and you have something refreshing, comforting, and so, so satisfying! I swear, Chi-chan from Love is Like a Cocktail! is so lucky. Her husband is my dream come true. Have I said this before? I think I have. I’m a hardworking girl myself. I would love it if someone lived at home and made me dinner and fixed me drinks every night and carried me to bed when I fell asleep on the couch. Bu

The black pepper bun, the mapo tofu…all good…but all just PRACTICE for what was to come. Soma outdoes himself, AND his competition with the Time Fuse Mapo Curry Noodles. It’s a dish that combines his original idea- the black pepper bun- with the noodles he knew his customers would enjoy, and with the food of his competitor, with a super special surprise- a curry filling in

Not the formative children’s show you probably watched in your youth (at least in America). No, today we’re talking about Dragon TAIL, as in, the appendage (is that the right terminology?) found on mythical (are they, though?) creatures. In the first episode of Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, the titular dragon is trying to prove that she can earn her keep as a maid for Miss Kobayashi. Very adorably, she proves herself competent
