The anime series, "Isekai Gohan: Wandering Meals in an Isekai World with Incredible Skills," based on the novel "Let's Become a Novelist," is scheduled to air from January 2023. The story is sure to leave you delirious, as the protagonist is reincarnated into another world and uses ingredients from that world with modern seasonings and cooking methods to devour otherworldly meals as he wanders around the world. In this article, we'd like to introduce some of the otherworldly meals featured in this series!
Menu 1: Pot-au-feu and bread with plenty of sausages from another world
The pot-au-feu and bread made with plenty of ingredients purchased from the EC site thanks to the protagonist Mukouda Tsuyoshi's "Net Supermarket" skill (you can access the EC site at any time, shop in local currency, and have it delivered immediately). In other words, it's a common pot-au-feu and bread that is nothing unusual for modern Japanese people. However, for the residents of the other world, the solid consommé soup made in modern Japan, which is a serious foodie, was a big hit, apparently. It also turns out that if you eat food made with ordered ingredients on this side, you will receive a buff for a certain period of time.
Menu 2: Red Boar Ginger Pork
A dish made by finishing the meat of the Red Boar, a huge boar monster from another world, with a ginger pork sauce created by a modern Japanese company through extensive research and garnished with cabbage. The sweet and spicy sauce created by a Japanese company matches the ingredients of the other world and is very popular with the locals! On the contrary, the fate of the main character Mukouda will be greatly changed by the strongest creature who is attracted by the smell of this menu.
Menu 3: Rockbird Teriyaki and Onion Soup
The legendary demonic beast Fenrir, attracted by the smell, made a contract with Mukai in search of delicious food, and quickly hunted down a Rockbird, which he cooked. The Rockbird meat is seasoned with the familiar Japanese teriyaki sauce and served with onion soup. It is said to be muscular but delicious. Rockbirds are apparently so strong that an ordinary adventurer can only defeat them if they fight desperately.
Menu 4: Red Boar Steak Bowl
A bowl of red boar meat seasoned with steak soy sauce and served on top of freshly cooked rice cooked in a clay pot. Nowadays, there are many different types of steak soy sauce, and to be honest, it's delicious just to pour it on rice, but if you add meat, it tastes even better. And if you're Japanese, you'll want rice! It's simple, but you can't go wrong.
Menu 5: Spaghetti with extra minced meat
Meat sauce spaghetti made with extra minced meat and meat sauce purchased from an EC site. More meat means more volume and more satisfaction! In real life, meat sauce is a very convenient product and many people use it, but it's also delicious when made at home with extra minced meat.
Menu 6: Stir-fried vegetables and red boar with sweet and spicy miso
I've been eating a lot of meat lately, so I thought I'd try some vegetables for a change. This dish uses sweet and spicy Chinese miso from a tube to give both the meat and vegetables a sweet and spicy flavor. Sweet and spicy Chinese miso is often written as "tianmenjiang" on the package, and is actually a sweet and spicy miso made from wheat flour, koji, and salt. It goes well with rice.
Menu 7: Assorted meat deli from another world
It may sound confusing, but the other world is modern Japan. It's basically a collection of meat-based deli dishes sold in the deli section of supermarkets. When you buy it on an EC site, it seems to come with the option to have it fresh and piping hot, which is a nice touch. It's the kind of thing that makes you want to buy a lot of it every once in a while and enjoy it.
Menu 8: Sweet bread
Mukaida, who is exhausted and not in a position to cook, bought bread from an e-commerce site. He suddenly felt hungry but not enough to eat a big meal. He doesn't have time and wants something that can be bought easily and eaten immediately. It's kind of a hassle. It's the culmination of the technology of a bread company that you can rely on at such times. It's sweet and delicious, and even in another world, you sometimes want to eat it. However, all sweet breads are relatively high in calories, so you need to be careful not to eat too much.
Menu 9: Three types of dishes from otherworldly trout
Fer, who has been eating a lot of meat and wants to eat fish for once, has this fish dish. The violet trout and king trout that Fel caught using a prohibited fishing method that stuns fish with an electric shock are grilled with salt, meunière, and foil-roasted, respectively. Trout is a type of salmon, and basically, the freshwater salmon are called trout, and the ones that live in the sea are called salmon.
Menu 10: Soft-boiled, melt-in-your-mouth Rockbird Oyakodon
This oyakodon is made by stewing the meat of the otherworldly bird-shaped monster Rockbird in a sweet and spicy broth, adding onions and bringing to a boil, then adding eggs in two batches. This dish is a perfect match with soft-boiled eggs and rice. The eggs for the oyakodon are added in two batches, and the second batch is cooked in residual heat to create a soft-boiled oyakodon.
Menu ⑪ Deep Fried Black Serpent
The meat of the snake monster, the Black Serpent, is cut into bite-sized pieces, seasoned with soy sauce, sake, garlic, and ginger, and fried with a dusting of flour. Modern Japanese people seem to be reluctant to eat snake meat, but it actually tastes similar to chicken breast.
Menu 12: Hot orc meat tonkatsu
The meat of an orc, a demi-human monster that is a combination of a pig and a human, is cut to the desired thickness, dipped in flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs, and deep-fried until crispy. There seems to be a lot of resistance to eating humanoid monsters, but in this other world, orc meat is commonly eaten and its taste is comparable to that of high-quality pork. Tonkatsu is delicious when it is freshly fried.
Menu ⑬ Tandoori Rock Bird
The now familiar Rock Bird meat is seasoned with yogurt, curry powder, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper, left to rest for a while, and then grilled until golden brown. The smell of curry powder is appetizing. This is my personal opinion, but tandoori chicken tastes even better with ketchup. It is basically cooked by steaming.
Menu ⑭ Rockbird Bang Bang Chicken
This dish is made by tearing boiled Rockbird breast meat by hand, garnish it with sliced tomatoes and shredded cucumbers, and dipping it in sesame sauce. It is written in kanji as bang bang chicken, and it is said that the name comes from the fact that the meat is softened by beating it with a stick. At the original restaurant, there are no ingredients and it is a spicy dish.
Menu ⑮ Oak Cutlet Sandwich and Rockbird Cutlet Sandwich
Oak meat made into pork cutlet, Rockbird made into chicken cutlet, butter, cabbage, tonkatsu sauce, and mayonnaise sandwiched between two slices of bread. It is said that the cutlet sandwich originated at the tonkatsu restaurant "Tonkatsu Isen" in Ueno, Tokyo. It has now become a standard menu item nationwide.
Menu 16 Bloody Horn Bull Steak
This is a steak made from the meat of the Bloody Horn Bull, a raging bull monster that has finally appeared after chicken and pork. Of course, it is also very delicious with steak soy sauce. Although it may seem like just grilling meat, it is a very deep dish with various cooking methods. For example, Chaliapin steak, which is marinated with onions to soften the meat, actually originated in Japan.
Menu ⑰ Rockbird Katsu Nanban Burger
A sweet and sour sauce made by boiling down sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce is made for Rockbird's katsu, and the katsu is then dipped in it. It is then covered in cabbage and tartar sauce and sandwiched between buns. Strictly speaking, chicken nanban is made without breadcrumbs, but chicken katsu is of course delicious as well.
Menu ⑱: Bloody Horn Bull and Oak General minced meat hamburger
A hamburger made by mincing Bloody Horn Bull and Oak General meat, soaking breadcrumbs in milk, adding onion, egg, and seasonings, shaping it, and baking it. After baking the surface over high heat, it is slowly steamed and cooked. It is quite difficult to cook it well.
【Isekai Wandering Meals with Incredible Skills】Isekai Meals Summary
I've introduced a number of otherworldly meals that appear in Isekai Wandering Meals with Incredible Skills! The characters adventure in other worlds, fend off strong enemies with their cheat skills, and save people and towns before they know it, but the main focus is food! It's a gourmet story with a strong focus on food, and I think if it becomes an anime, it will be a work that will further accelerate the food terrorism! I'm looking forward to it, but it may be an anime that you need to be careful of when watching late at night.
