February 13, 2024No bụng ấm lòng 😊💖 mê cái sự chu đáo và nụ cười rạng rỡ của em Shinobu quá. Quyển truyện làm mình hạnh phúc vào ngày đầu năm, quả nhiên cảm giác dc no ấm, dc quan tâm săn sóc vẫn là những điều con người ta mong muốn nhất. Nhìn gương mặt rạng rỡ của mấy vị khách lúc thưởng thức món ăn cũng làm mình sảng khoái lây 🤣 nội dung đơn giản chủ yếu mấy cảnh ăn uống mà sao mình lại mê quá đọc hoài ko chán 🎶

I took a long break between Volume 5 and this volume in the series. But this is my favorite so far. Plot seems a bit stronger.
OTOH, at times faces of supporting characters in the background seem to be blank here (at times they look like the mask from Ironman!). Was that done in the earlier volumes? Or are they now saving time and effort in these later volumes?
And, they do not go back through the portal, which I missed.
Can be read in one sitting, which is part of their fun. Characters from the past are explained in one or two lines. Which means that even if you have taken a year off from reading the series, it is still easy to undertand who is who, and what is what.
Looking forward to No. 7 (sitting on my desk) and the final three after that.
Strong 4 out of 5.
Great read the night before Thanmksgiving!

A chef and a renowned bard stop in to try Nobu's food.
This is a wonderfully warm, cozy food manga. It's nice to be able to drop in on old faces like Miss Camilla, the herbalist's apprentice, who gets to try fried chicken cartilage (that's a bit beyond what I'd be willing to try) and Arne's tempura mushrooms which makes the chef realize that mushrooms are an iffy thing for these folks. The hint of a possible witch hunt makes things interestingly tense. I'll be reading the next book in the series.

Wait, Enrico!! No! The pudding is a conversation between you and God!!The witch hunt looms closer and closer, the Chief creates Japanese/crypto-German fusion cooking and doesn't feel very comfortable with it, and little children have refined enough palates that they can say things like "I never had meat this soft and yummy."

I enjoyed all the new characters in this volume. I like the few returning customers. Chief's subplot was used effectively in multiple chapters and made some movement forward. A threat is increased in this volume. I'm interested in how that will be resolved.

Beautiful and wonderful.

Still lovely story and food info appreciation, with a hint of something dark on the horizon for the izakaya

I hope this witch nonsense doesn't last long.

Ooo looks like trouble is finding it's way inside Nobu with rumours of witches. I wonder how the staff are going to handle this one in the next volume?

Gah, I wish my library had the next volume!

I quite enjoyed the stories in this one. All this witch staff is getting out of hand. I can wait to see the drama it will bring.

Watched the anime first, wanted to see more.
All these fried food can't be healthy though.

Nobu is a Japanese pub that mysteriously opened in the back alley of a fictional, medieval European town. The story almost exclusively takes place within the pub as we get to know its staff, and the new patrons with the guts to visit this peculiar location. Nobu is a pub with exotic food and drink, unlike any the citizens of this medieval European city have experienced....
Otherworldly Izakaya Nobu is a seinen manga based on a light novel series, Isekai Izakaya "Nobu." It's also been adapted into an ONA series (hello, Crunchyroll), and a television drama series.
This manga is hella fluffy, even the conflicts are light at heart and easily resolved. I love the sense of community and camaraderie. There are plenty of great characters, and we get to see them grow and change throughout the series. I like I’ve gained something with the completion of each volume… knowledge, a life lesson, or a sense of warmth.
Otherworldly Izakaya Nobu is informative on both a cultural and cooking front. It boasts Japanese, German, Italian, and French representation; I'm sure I'm forgetting some, and I expect more as the series progresses! The translation notes are a fantastic aid that I always enjoy digging into after finishing a volume.
If you like food based manga, or perhaps enjoy learning about other European and Japanese cultures, you’ll probably enjoy this series!
As for me, this is a series I plan to collect, though I am a bit sad that the more recent printings appear to be pretty different both the covers and the print paper.

Chapter 39 -- can I have Eva's siblings on the page all the time? *hearts*
