Full Description

Bring some magic into your kitchen with this unofficial collection of Japanese recipes inspired by Hayao Miyazaki’s most beloved films.

Since 1985, Studio Ghibli has enchanted moviegoers with fantastic stories of fantasy, magic, friendship, family, and—most of all—the most mouthwatering Japanese food ever seen in animation. Now you can create your own easy Japanese recipes with this cookbook featuring 50 fan-inspired dishes! From Japanese breakfasts and bento lunches to traditional Japanese comfort food like yakitori and onigiri, recipes include:

Skillet bacon and eggs
Anime ramen with ham
Herring and pumpkin pot pie
Steamed red bean bao
Salmon with beurre blanc sauce
And more!

Perfect for fans of anime cooking, manga recipes, and Japanese home cooking!

1. HOT CATEGORY: Japanese animation is on the rise. Netflix reports more than 100 million households around the world watched at least one anime title in 2020, growing by 50 percent. Meanwhile, manga continues to drive comic/graphic novel sales.

2. STRONG COMPS: Books like Cook Anime (Tiller Press, 2020) show average sales of 500 copies a week on BookScan.

3. FANTASTIC ULYSSES TRACK RECORD: Our “unofficial” books continue to sell extremely well. The Unofficial Hogwarts for the Holidays Cookbook has shipped 47K copies in under a year and The Unofficial Hocus Pocus Cookbook (forthcoming October 2021) has received huge interest from TJMaxx, Target, and more!

4. HUGE FOLLOWING + DIGITAL MARKETING PLAN: Studio Ghibli and creator Hayao Miyazaki have been around since 1985 creating films like the Oscar-winning Spirited Away and the beloved favorite My Neighbor Totoro. On Instagram alone, #studioghibli has 1.8 million posts and #totoro has 2.3 million posts. Ulysses will target this audience through a comprehensive online marketing plan.

5. FULL-COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS + SPOT ILLUSTRATIONS: In a beautiful paper-over-board package, recipes will be paired with gorgeous full-color photographs as well as fun, Ghibli-inspired spot illustrations throughout.
