I'm powered by Poky. Says so on my blog. I'd buy boxes of these and snack them whenever.

Also, I'd make riceballs with leftover rice. I just eat them plain like that with some soy sauce and a tinch of wasabi.

Don't forget ramen as well. What I do is fry egg and schnitzel separately and then add them on top of the ramen when its in the bowl, keeping them from being soggy. Makes for a great quick lunch or dinner.

You guys should read or watch Cooking Master Boy, it isn't bad for an anime as well despite being so old.

I never would have thought eating raw fish was appealing until seeing characters drooling again and again over slivers of fish flesh in anime and manga. Now, next to nachos, it's my favorite food. I eat it at least once a week, and have brainwashed several co-workers into thinking it's yummy too! Now Fridays are udon/sushi combo days.

My favorite snack that I've seen in Anime is beer ^.^

On a more serious note, we don't get Japanese snacks here in Madeira.

@Kabitzin, yeah, something like an animated Cooking Mama, but with dishes either featured in anime or dishes that somehow tie into anime. For example, takoyaki, a dish from Osaka could be tied in by an anime that takes place in Osaka, an anime that mentions Osaka or takoyaki, or an anime director/creator/producer/seiyuu from Osaka. Yatsuhashi, a souvenir wagashi from Kyoto would be likewise tied in. There's so many fun ways to entertain while educating!

@Gnorb, really? You never heard of Pocky before anime? I would see it in the international store and pass it by with a, meh. So are you hooked on it now? What's your opinion of it and which is your fave if you like it?

@Scrivs, narutomaki is gooooood in udon too! That stuff is tasty but can be pricey around here-i.e., in the Midwest.

@Micheal, glad you like our snack section! I thoroughly enjoy testing out new foods.

@Ozone42, oohhhhh I love umeboshi in onigiri! I could eat umeboshi every meal. The good variety is really expensive, though. Something like $13-$17 for a 1/4 lb.

I've read about "Yakitate!". Will it teach me to make better wagashi? That's what's needed; a series that will teach fans how to make the foods featured in anime.

rice balls with pickled plums

On this subject, if you like food you need to watch "yakitate japan!"

I love the Anime Blogs Snacks section.

For me it would be fish cakes and Ramen. I want to say I got them both from Naruto, but can't be too certain.

Poki sticks. Seriously, I'd never even heard of them until I watched Onegai Teacher.

Okonomiyaki is everywhere in anime and manga. I'm always seeing it in slice of life anime and I read how seiyuu just love the stuff. I actually made okonomiyaki after being "brainwashed" by anime to try it. After that, well, I've developed an intense love for quirky Japanese food (Takoyaki, you're next on the "To Make" list baby!!) I even started posting successful Japanese recipes on the site so other fans can make the same things at home. Thanks anime, is there nothing you can't do?

How about any of you? What food featured on anime or manga, or even mentioned by the folks who help create anime, have you ever tried or made? What would you like to try or make if you haven't already done so?
