If you love a good series that's all about eating delicious food, you're going to get hooked on Otherworldly Izayaka Nobu! Similar in concept to the donghua Cinderella Chef, Otherworldly Izayaka Nobu depicts delicious-looking meals and emphasizes the enjoyment characters have while eating them. Set in what feels like a blend of medieval Germany and modern-day Japan, this series takes place in a fictional land called Eiteriach, where knights still exist and cold beverages aren't available outside of the colder months. Then enters the new local pub, Nobu, which sets up shop right in the heart of Eiteriach and causes quite a stir with its"strange looking" restaurant and "unreadable" menus. The fact that it serves ice-cold beer out of season and food you can't even begin to dream of in the world of Eiteriach instantly creates notoriety for Nobu!

And in true isekai style, this otherworldly restaurant is just that - otherworldly! Somehow, the workers at Nobu can travel from their own world of what seems to be modern-day Japan to Eiteriach, which is similar to medieval Germany, simply by walking through a door in their shop. Yet no one suspects a thing!

The food at Nobu is styled after traditional Japanese cooking, and the restaurant has the atmosphere of an old ramen house. Serving everything from pickled vegetables and oden to kaisendon and tonjiru, Nobu quickly becomes a sensation among neighbors and travelers alike. Each chapter focuses on a special dish that is cooked and served over the course of the chapter, ending with everyone tasting the food and not shying away from their strong reactions to the meal. Each meal serves a different purpose and brings to light different characters' backstories, such as losing one's parents or having an epiphany regarding their dastardly ways.

Overall, this series is cute and fun, with an art style to match. The art is soft yet detailed, showcasing the food in a way that almost makes it jump off the page and straight onto your plate. So, don't go in hungry because Otherworldly Izayaka Nobu will have you craving its dishes right from the start!
