Yakitate!! Japan YuM!
Was thinking wat to post here last night. Still getting excited over the newly set up blog. lol xDToday's post im going to share this wonderful anime which i've been chasing recently -chase chase chase- to my anime obssessedcrazylilthingythingy buddies. YAKITATE!! JAPAN
An anime which will really makes you drool and gets hungry while watching it =x and Maxee agreed to it LOL *maxee : (opens the fridge) 'hmmm fruit cake'* xD
Its very knowledgeable as it shows you the facts of bread and at the ending of every episode theres a knowledge seed.
Wats most unbelievable is tat we can really bake bread using a rice cooker. Where rice cooker can only hit the highest 110˚C but a normal bread needs a temperature of 250˚C to bake. Ingredients and the process of baking is shown in Yakitate!! japan ep 27 part 3 avaliable in Youtube =)
Thx greatest buddy Jp for introducing this great anime to ShellyThistle *thumbs up*
ShellyThistle intro you the main characters of Yakitate!! Japan
Kazuma Azuma (東和馬, Azuma Kazuma) A bread artisan who dreams of making the perfect Japan. He doesn't seem very bright, but when it comes to bread he's a genius. (He is knowledgeable about rice because of his grandfather.) Azuma also has solar hands, exceptionally warm hands that allow the yeast to ferment faster and better when he is making his bread. Eternally optimistic and cheerful, he never gets upset from challenges faced in baking competitions, but rather from emotional tragedies. He gets his insipirations for his ja-pan from random sources, like other Japanese foods and stories from his experienced but overtalkative grandfather, a rice farmer.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Kyousuke Kawachi (河内恭介, Kawachi Kyōsuke) Coworker and sidekick to Azuma, from the Kansai area. Initially, Kawachi's knowledge is superior to Azuma's, but as the story develops he becomes the fall guy and comedic relief with jokes focused on his incessant cry of "What was that?!" ("Nanyate?!" in japanese) in every chapter. He considers Azuma to be his rival, but the two develop a dynamic that is more like an older and younger brother, Kawachi being more experienced than Azuma in the world beyond bread. With Tsukino's help, he has obtained "solar gauntlets", solar hands developed through physical training. He is somewhat lazy and perverted, but at desperate times he focuses his effort to create exceptional bread.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Kai Suwabara (諏訪原戒, Suwabara Kai) Kuroyanagi's understudy, a serious bread artisan. A master of the katana who claims to have left the swordsman path of destruction to follow the path of life-giving bread. Despite that, he often becomes very warrior-like and fearsome during baking competitions, which occasionally makes other characters wonder if he is truly focused on the 'life-giving' aspect of his bread. Like Kawachi, he has solar gauntlets and considers Azuma as a rival. On first appearances, he seems cold-hearted and tough, but in the later part of the anime shows a more tender side of him.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tsukino Azusagawa (梓川月乃, Azusagawa Tsukino) Granddaughter to the owner of the Pantasia chain, and understudy to Ken Matsushiro. Seems to have a crush on Azuma, though it is never explicitly stated. Has difficulty getting along with the rest of the Pantasia-involved Azusagawa family because she is an illegitimate child. She is still very dedicated to the Pantasia chain, seeking out talented new bakers (like Azuma and Kawachi) and has garnered the support of many other characters. While she stay behind the scene for most of the time, she is implied to be talented, as she managed to make it to the third place of a past newcomer's battle (where she only won a backpack)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ken Matsushiro (松代健, Matsushiro Ken) Manager of Pantasia Southern Tokyo branch. A burly man with an afro and sunglasses. Renowned as the best French-bread artisan in Japan, he seems to have a predeliction with horses and betting on horse-racing. He is Kuroyanagi's former teacher, but early on recognised his outstanding talent as a food critic, and from that point on discouraged his baking, ultimately driving him away. He also likes to tease Kawachi, to whom he was apparently very similar in his youth, occasionally to give him ideas on bread, but mostly just for the hell of it. He also can make Kawachi hallucinate at times.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ryo Kuroyanagi (黒柳亮, Kuroyanagi Ryō) The head at the main Pantasia branch, and a Harvard graduate with a Food Science diploma. His passion and talent is food tasting, at which he excels. His strait-laced no-nonsense attitude belies his very silly quirk of making strange pun-based reactions to the delicious bread he's eating. He used to be the student of Ken, but Ken drove Ryo away with his behavior. He is given the opportunity by Yuuichi Kirisaki to fully utilize his skills as a judge.
