Nabetama Anime Reveals First Teaser and January 2027 Premiere
Juntaro’s idea of a good food trip starts where most travel guides leave off. On November 12, the team behind Nabetama: Getting Shots on a Frying Pan released the anime’s first teaser and announced that it will begin airing in Japan in January 2027.
The series follows Juntaro as he travels in search of dishes he’d have a hard time finding on a typical tourist itinerary. There’s a twist in how he sees the world. After years of immersing himself in anime and manga, he imagines everyone as an anime girl, including himself. Shu Uchida voices Juntaro as he sees himself, while Masaaki Mizunaka plays him as the middle-aged man he actually is.
J.C.STAFF is adapting the nonfiction food and travel manga written by Juntaro Aoki and illustrated by Shin Moriyama. The teaser gives a taste of the trip through unfamiliar dishes and unpredictable encounters. The November 12 announcement confirmed the Japanese broadcast window and gave no international streaming details.
