Shin Oishinbo, the new Oishinbo television anime, is set for a 2027 broadcast with a named lead cast, Shin-Ei Animation producing, and SynergySP and Vega Entertainment on animation production.

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated 1d ago

Oishinbo returns to television for the first time since the 1988 to 1992 adaptation. The new series, titled Shin Oishinbo, was announced at the ABEMA Anime Matsuri 2026 event during Shinei Animation's 50th anniversary stage presentation. The original manga by Tetsu Kariya and Akira Hanasaki launched in 1983 and has been on hiatus since 2014. The earlier Shinei Animation adaptation ran for 136 episodes from 1988 to 1992.

The new production has a confirmed broadcast window of 2027. Yohei Azakami plays Yamaoka Shiro, Hitomi Sakaki plays Kurita Yuko, and Akio Otsuka plays Kaibara Yuzan. Shin-Ei Animation is the producer, with Kenichi Nishida directing, Takahiro Nagano handling series composition, Nozomi Kawashige on character design, and SynergySP and Vega Entertainment on animation production. A teaser PV and scene photos have been released.

Between the announcement and the cast reveal, the franchise's official channels kept the property active with a compilation special. The official Oishinbo X account announced "A Little Kind Kaibara Yuzan Special" for the official YouTube channel, compiling episodes where the strict gourmet advisor shows kindness. It premiered on June 12 at 8:00 PM.

The new series returns to the Tozai Newspaper's Ultimate Menu showdown with Kaibara Yuzan, with the addition of Daikensha president Dan Ichiro as referee and a love triangle around Kurita Yuko. The premise extends the old rivalry rather than resetting it.
