Inspired by a book on Japanese cuisine written by British food writer Michael Booth, this family oriented foodie anime runs the gamut from chanko to yakisoba, and almost everything in between. Booth becomes obsessed with Japanese cuisine after reading about it, so he and his wife and their two young boys travel the length of Japan over three months, devouring everything in their way. If you're curious about okonomiyaki, or fearful of natto, you'll definitely enjoy this fun, light-hearted trans-national food voyage!

Where it came from
Sushi and Beyond is a 2015 television adaptation based on the popular travelogue memoir by British food writer Michael Booth. The series, produced by the animation studio Fanworks, depicts the author's humorous and often surreal experiences navigating Japanese culinary culture alongside his family. It emerged during a period of heightened international interest in Japanese lifestyle and food culture, translating Booth's observational prose into a distinctively charming animated format.
The character design and art direction reflect a playful, accessible aesthetic intended to bridge the gap between Western storytelling and Japanese animation sensibilities. Directed by Nashida Yuichiro, the series sought to capture the essence of the original book's blend of cultural critique and family comedy. Upon its release, the series was well-regarded for its gentle tone and its ability to act as a bridge for viewers unfamiliar with the nuances of regional Japanese dishes.
