Anime kitchen accessories: Japan moves into your kitchen
Anyone who watches anime knows the phenomenon: at some point you start taking an interest in the food in the series. The steaming bowl of ramen, the carefully packed bento box, the rice cooker in the background of every kitchen scene. This category picks up on exactly that. Here you'll find tableware, cutlery and accessories that carry the excitement from the screen to the dinner table, from the mug for an evening with the latest season to the bowl in which your home-cooked noodles finally land in style.
Mugs, bowls, chopsticks and everything for the bento box
The range includes mugs and glasses with designs from well-known series, ramen bowls and rice bowls, chopsticks with rests, teapots and bento boxes for lunch on the go. On top of that come aprons, coasters, tea towels and décor that round off the room. Some items are officially licensed and show characters every fan recognises instantly, others are more subtle and work with shapes, colours and characters of Japanese script. Both are practical, because ceramic and melamine stand up to everyday use, even when nobody is watching.
Anime gifts for anyone who loves cooking and loves watching even more
Kitchen accessories make a rewarding gift for anime fans because they skip the detour via the collector's shelf. A ramen bowl gets used, a figure just stands around. For moving into a first flat, for a birthday or as a little something for a shared series night, you'll find everything that brings joy here, from a set of chopsticks to a complete dinner service; whatever else belongs in a first home is in the household section. And if you're not sure which series is their current favourite: you can hardly go wrong with the more understated pieces. A simple ramen bowl fits into any kitchen, while a mug with a big character print makes a clear statement. If you're buying several pieces, stick to one colour family so that the table looks like a set in the end and not like a random collection.
