Ippon Bouchou Mantarou
|
From the second generation of gourmet manga (mid 80s), these anime give an idea about the usual tropes. Ippon Bouchou Mantarou hews more closely to the first generation with a wandering chef pursuing the perfection of his craft, whereas Oishinbo is known for making the shift from the focus on the craftsman to the focus on the critic evaluates food. Of course this is no surprise as Big Joe is the author of both the Ippon Bouchou Mantarou manga and the OG gourmet manga, Houchounin Ajihei.
