Yōhei Azakami voices Shirō Yamaoka, Hitomi Sasaki is Yūko Kurita, and Akio Ōtsuka is Yūzan Kaibara.

Tetsu Kariya and Akira Hanasaki's Oishinbo last ran as a television anime from 1988 to 1992, a 136-episode run from Shinei Animation that came with two additional specials. The new series returns to the same production house: Shinei Animation is handling production for Shin Oishinbo, with Ken'ichi Nishida directing at Synergy SP and Vega Entertainment.
The manga launched in 1983 and has been on hiatus since 2014, when Shogakukan published the 111th volume. It follows a fierce food showdown between the newspaper Tōzai Shimbun's Ultimate Menu and gourmand Yuzan Kaibara's Supreme Menu.
