Shinei Animation announced a new Oishinbo television anime at its 50th anniversary stage presentation during ABEMA Anime Matsuri 2026 on Saturday, under the title Shin Oishinbo. The manga by Tetsu Kariya and Akira Hanasaki launched in 1983 and has been on hiatus since 2014. The earlier Shinei Animation adaptation ran 136 episodes from 1988 to 1992. The new series is set for 2027, 35 years after that run ended.

A teaser on the official website set the 2027 debut and named Yohei Azakami as Shiro Yamaoka, Hitomi Sasaki as Yuko Kurita and Akio Otsuka as Yuzan Kaibara, with Ken'ichi Nishida directing, Takahiro Nagano on series scripts and Nozomi Kawashige on character designs. Shinei Animation produces, with animation production by Synergy SP and Vega Entertainment. The manga has surpassed 135 million cumulative copies in print.

Late October brought the Tōzai Shimbun supporting cast: Toru Furusawa as deputy editor-in-chief Hideo Tanimura, Kosuke Echigoya as Tomio Tomii, Nobuo Tobita as Daizo Ohara, Hiroshi Naka as Kyoichi Koizumi, Anzu Yaoya as Kinue Arakawa and Yuko Ushida as Noriko Mitani. The same round of announcements named Yui Makino for the opening theme "PROMISE ME" and Skoop On Somebody for the ending theme "Akashi". Both openings of the 1988 anime were love songs: "YOU", sung by Megumi Yuki for episodes 1 to 23, and "Dang Dang Ki ni Naru", sung by Yuma Nakamura for episodes 24 to 136.

Before any of the anime news, the official Oishinbo X account scheduled a compilation for the official YouTube channel titled "A Little Kind Kaibara Yuzan Special", collecting episodes where the strict gourmet advisor Yuzan Kaibara shows kindness. The special is scheduled for June 12 at 8:00 PM.
