Are you lot set? Itadakimasu!

Today'south Menu for the Emiya Family unit (Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan) is a Slice of Life cooking-based spin-off of the Fate franchise'due south Fate/stay dark, written by TAa. The manga began serialization in the seinen magazine Young Ace Up in 2016, and it has been licensed for an English release past Denpa. The series received an animated adaptation by ufotable, offset ambulation on December 31, 2017 with subsequent episodes airing on a monthly basis. The testify is aired by Crunchyroll with the appropriate regional subtitles.

Similar to Fate/hollow ataraxia, it'due south set in a scenario where all participants of the Fifth Holy Grail War survive and coexist every bit neighbors, and features Shirou Emiya doing what he does best: preparing dinner for the household.

A video game spinoff for the Nintendo Switch was released in April 2021 for Japan and June 2021 worldwide. It was delayed from its original release because of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Has a Spiritual Successor in Fate/Grand Lodge, Eirei Shokubunroku, featuring the FGO Servants cooking meals from beyond time and space.

The series has examples of:

second Visuals, 3D Effects: Toned down compared to well-nigh ufotable series, but can nonetheless be seen with the cars, effects and some groundwork elements and objects. Some more than noticeable instances include a crate of falling alcohol in Episode 4, some shut upwards shots during Archer's cooking scenes in Episode 11 and Passenger hitting the gas in Episode 12.
Adaptational Personality Change:
- Ane of Gilgamesh'south motivations in the original visual novel was his cloy for the modern world, seeking to purge it so he could rule over it in a land similar to the ancient Uruk. Here, he has completely adapted to modern times and seems content living in 21st-century Fuyuki.
- When Shinji appears, he is not the big-headed wiggle villain that he is in the main series. Rather, he'south more than like some grumpy-yet-harmless anti-social that Sakura and Passenger take to literally elevate to Emiya family meals. Justified, since it's canon he returns to his still haughty all the same tolerable self in the timelines in which he survives the war.
Adapted Out: Thanks to circumstances non getting as dire, Truthful Assassin doesn't get to savour Shirou's cooking. Berserker shows upwards, only he's in the same boat as TA consumption-wise. Gilgamesh is a partial case, every bit he does make an advent in the manga only not in the anime. Bazett is likewise absent, as she's presumably either even so in a blackout or has moved abroad (the series takes place over several months). Caren isn't in this either, only that might be because she'due south busy with her Church duties, and in that location's no reason for the bandage to go to the Church.
All Just a Dream: Special chapter 6 graces u.s. with the first appearance of Saber Alter, who inexplicably turns upwardly in place of the regular Saber and gets hamburgers out of Shirou. Turns out to be the outcome of a peculiarly nasty bump on the head when Saber and Shirou were sparring.
Alternate Continuity: In the same vein equally Fate/hollow ataraxia, this is a Lighter and Softer timeline where anybody survives the 5th Holy Grail War.
Animation Bump: The volleyball match betwixt Shirou and Saber vs. Archer and Lancer gets the full ufotable treatment in the animation every bit if it was an bodily battle scene in a more serious Fate anime, taking it upwardly to Mundane Made Awesome levels.
Badass Driver: In the Christmas Episode, Leysritt tries to bulldoze the girls to Illya'southward castle. She tries to accept a shortcut on the mountain, simply loses control and the machine about goes off the mountain. Passenger takes the wheel and effortlessly gets them dorsum on rails, borderline defying physics in the procedure... which makes sense because she'southward a Rider-course Servant with A+ rank in the Riding skill, allowing her to take her mounts (including motor vehicles) well beyond what they should be capable of.
Big Eater: Saber loves food and savors it whenever she gets the chance to. Every bit a effect, she'southward virtually always one of the kickoff to dig in at the stop of a cooking segment, and is frequently seen drooling over whatsoever's cooking.
Black Comedy: The Volleyball lucifer between Shirou and Saber vs. Archer and Lancer. Even in this low stakes, piece-of-life series, Archer is still trying to find his opportunity to kill Shirou. Information technology gets Played for Laughs hither.
Brick Joke: In episode 11, Lancer plays Archer like a damn dabble into helping out at the cafe by saying "perhaps Shirou is a better cook than yous", bringing out his competitive nature. The episode's outro has Saber unwittingly play into Shirou's competitive nature into cooking more past telling him that the omelet rice Archer fabricated was quite skillful. Chalk that bit up to their mutual feelings of showing up a version of themselves.
The Cameo:
- In affiliate 2, Fionn appears in Shirou's thought chimera when he recalls his myth with the Salmon of Cognition.
- In special affiliate 5, 1 of the available prizes in the lottery is a Fou plushie.
The Charmer: Lancer successfully charms Ayako with a single compliment and the use of a flower, despite her being a tomboy. Considering his existent identity, it shouldn't be a surprise.
Christmas Episode: Illya invites the gang over for a Christmas party in her castle in one chapter. Shirou barely cooks annihilation in that one (he manages a simple roast for the whole feast), given Sella and Leysritt cooked everything else already.
Cooking Show: Shirou narrates on how to cook various meals he prepares. Rin, Sakura, and Archer do the aforementioned during their Twenty-four hours in the Limelight.
Cool Big Sis: Sakura's admiration of Rin is displayed prominently hither, such every bit episode 8, where she calls Rin "amazing" and pays diligent attention to Rin'southward caption on cooking fried rice. Rin is, of course, actually Sakura's admirable elder sister.
Beautiful Little Fangs: In a rare male instance, Lancer has ane. They emphasize his cheerful and boisterous personality, likewise as his overall dog motif.
A Day in the Limelight:
- Downplayed in Episode seven, where Shirou is still featured prominently, only Rin and Sakura are the ones who cook the episode'southward repast instead of him.
- Episode 11 has Archer every bit the chief focus, and he's besides the one who cooks the episode'southward featured meal. Shirou doesn't even appear until near the end of the episode. If you consider how Archer is Shirou'due south Alternate Self and that his True Name is EMIYA (making this episode "EMIYA-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan") it's not too surprising. He even gets a more than jazzy version of the cooking theme, including a little snippet from "EMIYA"!
Does Not Know His Own Force: Friendly pats on the back from Lancer can be very painful. Of form, Lancer is a Servant and a demigod to boot, and so of class a squishy homo like Shirou is going to feel information technology.
Dynamic Entry: Kaede Makidera in episode 10 enters the student council room in a rather dynamic manner (she fifty-fifty wall-runs!) when against Issei well-nigh rejecting the track team's schoolhouse festival proposal. Her rail team companions are significantly less noisy, especially the demure Yukika, who apologizes repeatedly to Shirou and the council present every bit she enters.
Early-Bird Cameo: Immature Shirou, Young Taiga and Kiritsugu appear in the ending credits, referencing the Whole Episode Flashback chapter where Shirou recalls his first time making hamburger steak.
Eating Optional: As Lancer points out, Servants don't actually take to eat. They can, though, and probable will if it'south good food.
Edutainment Show: Part of the show'southward charm has Shirou state out loud the rather simplified recipes he makes as though he were hosting a cooking evidence. The manga itself features the full recipes for each meal at the end of every chapter.
Everybody Lives: Fate/Stay Night has three routes, and several people dice in each one. In this particular timeline, somehow the Fifth Holy Grail War concluded without anyone dying at all. Thus, all of them have a take chances to enjoy a meal at the Emiya household.
Anybody Calls Him "Barkeep": Servants are by and large referred to by their class proper noun than their real name, every bit is usual in Fate/ backdrop besides Fate/Grand Lodge.
The Faceless: Archer gets this treatment in the early series. Whenever he shows up, the serial makes certain that he'due south not to have his face shown at any point, whether he's facing abroad from the viewer, having his face up obscured, or being and so far away in the background that y'all can't brand out his facial features. Later on installments are a little more merciful, equally the anime gives him a shot of his face on the promotional affiche for the second half of the testify, and the manga has a few chapters where he's relevant and fully shown. This gets hilariously reversed in episode eleven when Archer is the focus, so this fourth dimension nosotros never fully come across Shirou's confront the entire episode.
Famed in Story: Played for Laughs in that Shirou isn't famous around his school for his bodily heroics, simply his cooking. In episode 10, the prospect of actually getting the chance to eat one of his meals actually motivates the Student Council, who are very much dead-tired at the time, to finish their preparations for the school festival.
Food Porn: The theme of the manga/anime shows off known Japanese meals, for the most office.
Friendly Enemy: About of the animosity between characters from the main series is heavily downplayed here. Across occasional bouts of suspicion (such every bit Saber finding Lancer or Caster at the Emiya house), everyone gets along rather well.
Going Native: Caster discards her sinister-looking mage's cowl for something fitting in 21st-Century Japan, and happily becomes a housewife. We see her sweeping the temple's pathway and learning to cook for Kuzuki.
Go-Karting with Bowser: Technically speaking, Saber and Lancer are withal on opposing sides of the Holy Grail War. While Lancer simply doesn't care much about all that anymore, Saber is equal parts suspicious and baffled when Lancer shows up at her and Shirou'south doorstep in casual clothes and with a bag of booze. Even more than so when Caster shows upwards wanting to learn cooking from Shirou.
Happily Always After: The whole series acts equally this to Stay Night. Although the original story has multiple endings, some of the characters inevitably die in each i. Emiya-san Chi is a continuity where the Holy Grail State of war ended with anybody surviving and becoming friends and neighbors afterwards.
Heroes Gone Fishing: As expected for a Cooking Show where half the cast is made up of ancient resurrected heroes. Some of them even have twenty-four hours jobs.
Shirou: [referring to Lancer] The bang-up Celtic hero, peddling fish.
I Know Madden Kombat: Archer tries to kill Shirou during the beach volleyball game with ridiculously powerful and fast spikes.
Late-Arrival Spoiler: Sakura calls Rin nee-san (sis) in Episode 3, spoiling a very important plot twist in the Sky's Feel route.
Lighter and Softer: In comparison to the often dark and tragic tone of Stay Dark and other entries of the franchise, every bit it's substantially a laid-back Slice of Life alike to Hollow Ataraxia, where none of the characters have died and the principal focus is on cooking and enjoying succulent nutrient.
Men Can't Go along House: Averted. Both Shirou and Archer are very adept at cooking and housekeeping. Rin primarily uses Archer, him being her Servant, for the latter.
Mundane Made Awesome: The beach volleyball match betwixt Shirou and Saber vs. Archer and Lancer is basically a directly upwardly Servant battle. With poor Shirou in the mix being completely outclassed.
Mundane Utility: Ane of the few uses of supernatural abilities is Assassin preventing a couple of carts of alcohol bottles spilling when Neko trips at the top of the Ryuudo Temple stairs via Flash Step.
Mythology Gag:
New Job as the Plot Demands: Lancer can be seen working everywhere. He's introduced in the first episode as a fishmonger; but likewise appears delivering flowers for Shirou's school'south festival, and working in a café as a waiter.
Non-Standard Graphic symbol Blueprint: Fifty-fifty in a lighthearted series such as this, Kiritsugu and Kuzuki however take empty, lifeless eyes—Kiritsugu moreso.
Odd Friendship: Not just are Taiga and Lancer friends, they fifty-fifty share an elaborate Secret Handshake. Even funnier since Taiga appears in Grand Order equally the Lancer Jaguar Man.
Oh, Crap!: Shirou's panics when Archer uses strengthening magic on their volleyball earlier he serves it in episode 7, as well as Saber declaring that they volition play more volleyball until they win.
1-Sided Arm-Wrestling: Taiga'south effort to arm wrestle Lancer does non become well ◊.
Pretty Freeloaders: The eponymous Emiya "family" isn't exactly a conventional family so much as Shirou and a bunch of unrelated people (usually girls) who hang at his house and swallow his nutrient. Well, aside from his one bodily family unit fellow member, his adoptive sister Illya, and his long-deceased adoptive male parent Kiritsugu in a flashback. Taiga is an interesting case: she'south legally Shirou'southward guardian after Kiritsugu passed away, but doesn't actually live with Shirou and instead at her family domicile in the same neighborhood.
Puni Plush: Uses a softer, more rounded art style than nigh other works in the franchise, which fits with this one'southward softer atmosphere.
Existent-Identify Background: The cafe seen in episode xi looks strikingly similar to the existent-life Ufotable Café in Nagano.
Serious Business: Obviously Servants treat embankment volleyball with all the gravitas of existent combat, if Episode 7 is to be considered.
She Cleans Up Nicely: Anybody tells Illya how darling she looks when she is dolled upwards in a kimono for Girl's Twenty-four hour period.
Shout-Out: Upon finding Caster cooking with Shirou, Saber quickly puts up her baby-sit via BLACK's pre-transformation pose.
Spin-Off: For Fate/stay dark.
Spin-Off Cookbook: Both the manga and the anime tells the audience on steps for cooking the featured dishes.
Supreme Chef: Shirou and Archer are considered this amidst their peers. Just the thought of tasting Shirou'south cooking is enough to whip the educatee quango into a frenzy, and when Shirou is unavailable, Lancer enlists Archer'southward help despite being an splendid cook himself. That said, Rin and Sakura are no slouches either and can go on up with Shirou in the kitchen.
The Thing That Would Not Exit: Lancer is significantly more subdued and courteous than most examples (even paying for his own share and helping with the dishes later on), merely that doesn't modify the fact that Shirou really wants Lancer to go home and go out him alone, and he is not at all happy to learn that Lancer plans to stay the night and get drunk with Taiga.
Lancer: At present that we're done cleaning upwardly, what exercise you say we get hammered?
Shirou: No, no, no!
Vocal Evolution: Hisako Kanemoto'due south performance as young Taiga is very different from how she portrayed her every bit Zecchan in Please! Einzbern's Consulation Room. In Please! Einzbern's Consulation Room, Zecchan has a very hostage, serious but naive voice, but information technology was more than on the side of the generic cutesy spectrum. In Emiya-san, young Taiga sounds slightly more than mature, playful and very relaxed. This might be justified since Zecchan was an amnesiac Taiga, but the difference is yet very noticeable.
Whole Episode Flashback:
- Affiliate half-dozen of the manga, where Shirou reminisces over the first time he fabricated hamburgers for Kiritsugu.
- Chapter 21 has Shirou recalling how he and Shinji first became friends.
- Chapter 23 covers Sakura and Shirou in middle schoolhouse, with the latter teaching the former how to cook a dish.
- Chapter 31 is almost immature Rin trying her hand at cooking.
