12 Days of Anime: 2016 Food Edition – Day 1 – Breakfast: Year in Review

A fusion of Western and Japanese breakfasts: Fried egg with bacon, rice, miso soup, pickles, and spinach! (Boku dake ga inai Machi, Episode 8)

It’s always a good idea to start at the beginning, so I thought I’d kick off the 12 Days of anime with the first meal of the day: breakfast.

Breakfast is definitely my favorite meal to eat, so it’s only natural that I just love to see what my favorite anime characters have been starting their days off with… From standard meals like fried eggs, bacon, sausage, and jam on toast, to Japanese style meals involving grilled fish, miso soup, natto (fermented soy beans), and tamagoyaki (rolled eggs), there’s definitely something for everyone!

In this post, I’ve included images from the following series: Sailor Moon Crystal: Death Busters, Flying Witch, Boku dake ga inai Machi, Bungou Stray Dogs, Super Lovers, Kiznaiver, Amaama to Inazuma (Sweetness and Lightning), and Flip Flappers.

Hotcakes!! (Flying Witch, episode 11)

I think my favorite breakfasts from 2016 were:

1. The Western and Japanese fusion breakfast from Boku dake ga inai Machi (Erased), episode 8: I love how it’s a cool mix of two cultures… The eggs and bacon borrow from Western breakfasts, while the bowl of rice, pickles, miso soup, and spinach side dish are clearly taken from a more traditional Japanese meal.

2. The hotcakes from Flying Witch, episode 11: My god… these hotcakes look insanely delicious… The syrup, the melting butter, the fluffy hotcake… YUM.
