Nobunaga no Chef

信長のシェフ ‧ Drama ‧ 2013
There is only 4 ep out on Netflix as I am writing this, but it is reminding me a lot of Nobunaga no Chef with the well known historical figure being fed food that is new and exciting by French Chefs.

Both chefs use their culinary skills and historic knowledge to make a meaningful meal and most importantly, keep themselves alive. I especially enjoy how the King and Nobunaga react to the meal with respect and genuine awe. I like how they are both smart but when they learn new words and cooking methods the chefs has used, they are eager to learn and understand. I imagine if they weren't foodies, the chefs would not have lasted at all.

Do they both change history? You'll have to watch for yourself.

We'll see how the endings differ but I if you enjoy food and history, you may enjoy Nobunaga no Chef.

They both involve time travel between eras and creating food! Chonmage Purina is a samurai who travels forward in time and makes his name by making pastries. Nobunaga No Chef travels back in time, leading to the character making dishes for a powerful daimyo named Nobunaga Oda.
