Introduction
Experienced head chef Nobuyuki Yazawa and friendly waitress Shinobu Senke run a traditional Japanese izakaya called Nobu—a bar known for serving a tasty array of food and drink. Welcoming any and all customers, the pair strive to showcase Nobu's exclusive menu and provide the best possible experience.
However, despite its ordinary appearance, the establishment opens to the heart of Aitheria, a city from a parallel universe. As news of the restaurant's exquisite dishes spreads throughout the lands, Aitherian citizens from various social backgrounds travel to Nobu in search of new and delicious cuisine, bringing with them an empty stomach and riveting stories to tell.

Isekai Izakaya: Koto Aitheria no Izakaya Nobu is by no mean a bad show to watch.
But I can't bring myself to rate it any higher than I already have.
I find the story being told extremely soothing, not just showing off the food or how modern food totally taste better than some middle age world. Yet, doesn't feel like some great craftmen or sspecialized professionals doing the small little thing because it's the great thing to do.
How do I say it clearly now... Right, it's more grounded to earth. Nobu feels lively with people coming back to it and new people jut keep coming, not though some miracle, but for their own reasons and then they enjoy the food. Even ones who are already regulars also find themsselves interested in new things, not just one template. It just feels more real.

Title: A Wholesome Culinary Getaway
"Sekai Izakaya: Japanese Food From Another World" served up a delightful and refreshing experience that left me feeling satisfied, I feel like after watching so much anime this was a nice palette cleanser for me
What was really nice was the show was able to have a good balance between a relaxed tone and keeping me some what engaged the conflicts were never taken super seriously and I can appreciate that. It managed to avoid diving too deep into heavy themes, allowing me to kick back and simply enjoy the ride.
Now the food animation, shall we? It was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish felt like it came out of a movie. a feast for the eyes most definitely The attention to detail was impressive and added a layer of authenticity to the culinary expe…

Though the episodes are split between the anime and live action segments, this anime is worth watching if you not only want to see the food that’ll make you hungry for it, but also learn how to cook some what I consider to be easy dishes to do yourself, and plan to visit some restaurants in Japan that are shown in the live action segments.
The plot is that there’s a restaurant that serves food to their medieval customers, who eat them up and enjoy them. Its art style is good and the characters are people you’d want to have meals with, unless they are bad patrons. There is some plot for each episode regarding the customers, but they are resolved with food made by Taishou, who makes the food, who is helped by his server, Shinobu.
Would I recommend watching this? Yes. The medieval character…

I'm just going to say this in the first sentence, You're missing out on absolutely nothing by skipping over this Isekai anime.
If I were to make a comparison I would compare this show to Michael Jordon's Space Jam because they're both advertising something to you, only one's advertising Basketball shoes while the other is advertising Japanese Culinary arts to foreigners, which is a shame because the show suffers for it.
The show's greatest strengths lies in how it portrays Japanese Culinary arts in Japanese establishments, and customer reactions and commentary on the food as they eat. There's really no plot line to talk about for this show as it's just a business owner and his cute waitress serving food to their customers with some given background information. The show does have a bit o…

Story: A nice story with a few twists. Now everyone is going to relate this to Isekai Shokudou (Restaurant to Another World) and I feel its a fair comparison and there are two things that completely change what this show is compared to Isekai Shokudou. This restaurant's door is fixed, the front door of Nobu is in one spot, in one city, for the entire series. This means repeat characters like in RtAW but more interaction between them at the trade-off of not having any variety of species or unique pallet/dietary needs. As well as Nobu being able to become more widely known. The second change is all due to Nobu+, at the end of every episode is a short thing talking about the food in the show (sometimes how to make it, sometimes where to get it) which brings the attention to the food a lot mor…

I don't normally write reviews, but after seeing so many people bashing this one and comparing it to Isekai Shokudou Restaurant to Another World I just had to.
First I will say, I enjoyed both, however This one is the better anime for a few reasons.
More thought and effort was put into this one then Shokudou. Shokudou doesn't bother to try and explain or have anything resembling a plot or story line. It is just new episode = new character and new dish. The previously introduced characters (except the waitresses) become nothing but background fodder to make the restaurant seem busy, making only occasional cameos to support new characters. In my opinion, while enjoyable, the writing was lazy, focusing on a large amount of characters with no regard to story telling. The plot is nonexistent…

If you like Alcohol and Fried Food this is your anime. I don't know about you but this is the anime I watch when I'm eating or/and drinking. Have in mind that Izakaya is like a japanese restaurant/ bar where you go drink a lot and eat a lot so this is what the anime is all about: Alcohol especially sake and beer.So 18+ is a must for viewers.
Story 8/10 : the story is weak for my standard but it is not like you are not gonna enjoy it, it may seem silly but i find funny and enjoyable.
Art 9/10: Wow the food and the beerl looks really apettizing! there is not a lot to see landscape-wise. the anime revolves around the izaka so that is where you gonna spend most time watching. Although for the last 5-10m you are gonna watch an old dude eating or a young dude cooking which is new.
Sound 8/10…

Isekai Izakaya is a series I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Not because it's so bad but because it is so different. The approach is original to a point that it doesn't even feel like an anime. The point of the series is to offer a trip to Japanese cuisines and food culture.
The entire series centers around this certain Japanese restaurant and its customers who tend to change episodically. In generally, our customers have the role of foreigners who are absorbing and experiencing the Japanese kitchen for the very first time. This is executed in rather immersive self-insert manner. We end up seeing episodes where customers describe what type of a food they want (many of the characters seem to be real culinary pros) and our kitchen master prepares what they requested, but in the Japanese way.…

This show reminds me of Isekai Shokudou, only less stellar in both quality and storytelling. And granted, both the former and latter are based on light novels of their respective names, of which Izakaya Nobu premiered in 2014 and Shokudou the year after. Yet, when the anime adaptations of both series came out, it was pretty obvious that the production here by Sunrise wouldn't garner the popularity of the latter by Silver Link the year prior.
To create the diversity, I will list what's the same and what's not for both series:
Similarities:
Both series exist in another world (which gives rise to the tiring Isekai genre troupe) through restaurants, offering occupants (where they are able to access the place from) to experience food like they have never tasted before. As expected, they leave…
