Yeah, nowadays every isekai has a chapter or two where the main character wants to eat something like rice or soy sauce. Man, at this point feels a bit like brainwashing, the kind of "other places are good but remember that Japan is better".

I figure its just a way to show how the MC in an isekai misses the comforts of home which being japanese and made for japan mostly it's gonna be japanese stuff.

It's basically just a trope at this point.

So that's where giant enemy crab comes from

Somebody should make isekai manga where the protag is tired of rice for once.

@quagzlor @NoForcee You guys do know that Soy Souce originate from China and not Japan and practically Asian countries use them alot. Heck I'm Asian and I can't live without the stuff.

Peoples complaining about story with japaness people miss his home food(soy sauce & rice) kinda stupid, i mean the one who write it is japaness in first place, MC of story is japaness too, i pretty much weird if he miss hamburger and frenc fries or something else, at most maybe chiness food but that hardly anyone cant do if the MC supposed to be single who live alone

-Soy sauce is actually good instead of superior nihon mayonnaise.
-Do ppl really call english sauce Worcestershire outside of England?

In the past, I tried a bag of fried mini crabs that came from Japan. They were the size of the small pinky fingernail. It tasted strange. Very crunchy.

For once, it would be funny to see a MC hate soy sauce, rice and mayonnaise. But I also know that this is an impossibility because all Isekai Japanese people are physically dependent on those 3 things to the point where if there isn't any here, but maybe somewhere in the world, it becomes the driving plot point for the entire series. There are too many Isekai's whose plot is almost entirely "The quest for the a legendary grain of rice, and select condiments". Also, why is every single person somehow an expert at making these things? They can be the biggest NEET in the world, but they have a professional grade ability to manufacture perfect quality soy sauce, mayonnaise, etc without practically any kind of practice or recipe. At least this one uses a computer to make it.

I get "home foods" are nice to have and all, but are there no picky eaters, allergy restricted people, or people who just do not like to eat it in Japan? And does every person in these different worlds like literally every edible thing pushed in front of their face that is not necessarily "odd" (like bugs and such)? I know in these worlds it is more "eat what you got" than pick what you want, but it does not mean you automatically like it.
