Survey Respondents Say Which Ghibli Movie Has Tastiest-Looking Food

Delicious and malicious — food from Spirited Away

The restaurant supply company Hachimenroppi and marketing firm Nexer decided to do a survey about food. But not just any food — it’s specifically about food in Studio Ghibli movies. 500 people shared which Ghibli movie had the tastiest-looking food.

In fifth place is Howl’s Moving Castle. A person voting for this movie remarked, “The bacon and eggs look so good, but the ones I make end up so plain-looking.”

In fourth place is My Neighbor Totoro. “I want to eat Satsuki’s bento,” commented someone in the survey. “Just thinking of a young girl working that hard to make them for her family brings tears to my eyes.”

Third place went to Kiki’s Delivery Service. “The bread they bake and the coffee Osono pours for Kiki look so good,” insisted a person who voted for this movie. “Watching the anime, I almost feel like I can smell them even.”

Spirited Away nabbed the second spot. One of the comments for picking this movie was, “The meat that Chihiro’s parents eat right at the start of the movie looks so good.”

So which movie took first place?

The answer is Castle in the Sky! The fried eggs on toast apparently got a lot of people salivating, and it got this movie the top spot.

What Ghibli movie would you pick?

GKIDS releases Castle in the Sky in English, and gave this description for it:

Castle in the Sky is a timeless story of courage and friendship, with stunning animation from acclaimed Academy Award®-winning director Hayao Miyazaki.

This high-flying adventure begins when Pazu, an engineer’s apprentice, spies a young girl, Sheeta, floating down from the sky, held aloft by a glowing pendant. Both Sheeta and Pazu are searching for the legendary floating castle, Laputa, and they vow to travel there together to unravel the mystery of the luminous crystal. But their quest won’t be easy, as soon they are being pursued by greedy air pirates, the military, and secret government agents, who all seek the power Sheeta alone can control.

The English-dubbed cast includes the vocal talents of Anna Paquin, James Van Der Beek, Cloris Leachman, Mark Hamill, Mandy Patinkin, and more!
