It doesn’t take a Food Wars to make us go hungry while watching anime. Some anime simply have their share of food appearing in it and sometimes we find our stomach growling for the food we see on the screen. No matter if it is only color on a paper, they manage to make it look so super delicious.

Since not all of us are from Japan, there are certain things we can’t simply go out and buy. What did or do you want to eat the most that you have seen in an anime? If you don’t know some of the words, try to ask our beloved Google-sensei for help or you can read our very, very brief description to help remember what the food looks like
