How Manga and Anime Influence Food Culture
Summary
Broc Cellars, an under the radar Berkeley winery, had a solid Japanese following. But when its Zinfandel “Vine Starr” was featured in the beloved manga “Drops of God,” its sales took off. You’ll often find loving descriptions of comfort food favorites like curries, ramens, and rice balls featured in mangas and animes. And cookbooks have been written about dishes featured in their plotlines. In the next All You Can Eat, a collaboration with the KQED Food Team, we’ll talk about the influence of manga and anime on food and vice versa. What are your favorite food anime and manga?
