Story 3/10. Character 5/10.
Story? What story? It's simple slice of life snippets of various characters and good cooking. We barely get to know their names or personalities as most of the 3 minute (excluding OP and ED) run times are cooking.
Art 9/10. Sound 9/10
The animation is beautiful. All the girly Characters look very traditional high end Japanese anime even though this is a donghua (China animation). The food is mouth watering!
Enjoyment 9/10
As a gourmet fan I really, really enjoyed this anime for the food, which is the focus, to the detriment of everything else.
Gourmet Rating 8.0/10 - excellent, one of the best for preparation and cooking with instructions and recipes.
08/10 Visual appeal of food - tasty looking food, very accurate
07/10 Reaction of characters to food - Characters enjoy the food and make satisfied faces especially the "piggy" of the group. No sparkles or clothes flying off, but a more realistic approach.
05/10 Difficulty or complexity of food featured - a few simple recipes, with the rest of medium difficulty.
10/10 Preparation or Cooking Instructions - they actually show the preparation and cooking as this takes up the majority of the anime time. There are recipes with the ingredients and instructions at the end. Some are simple enough you can make them at home.
10/10 Desire of viewer to cook or buy dishes featured after watching show - Will motivate you to cook if you have the ingredients available, especially for the simple, accessible dishes.
Overall 8.0/10
It's a grand gourmet anime that has 100% focus on preparing, cooking and eating the food. There's not much of a story.
