ABEMA has announced that a new anime adaptation of the Oishinbo manga, titled Shin Oishinbo (New Oishinbo), is in production. The release date of the anime is currently unknown.
Tetsu Kariya and Akira Hanasaki released the original manga in 1983. Shogakukan published the 111th volume in December 2014. Since then, the manga has been on hiatus. Shinei Animation aired a 136-episode from 1988 to 1992. The anime also includes two additional specials. It has also inspired several live-action series and films.

Viz Media has released several volumes of the Oishinbo manga over the years. It describes two of the volumes as follows:
The best selling and most beloved food manga of all time!
Oishinbo: Japanese Cuisine, Vol. 1
Japanese Cuisine introduces us to the fundamental ingredients–rice, sashimi, green tea, and dashi (cooking stock)–that constitute the soul of the Japanese kitchen. In each story we learn about the proper preparation and presentation of different dishes, as well as their history and cultural significance. The result is a moveable feast of a book, as informative as it is engaging.
Oishinbo: Sake, Vol. 2
In this volume, the focus shifts from food to drink: specifically, to sake. For centuries different types of sake have played the same roles in Japan as wine and beer have in the West, from inexpensive everyday drink to refined single-batch rarities. Above all, sake has been enjoyed as an accompaniment to a meal, and after a revelatory moment one night, Yamaoka decides that drink pairings must be an integral part of the Ultimate Menu. So which foods go best with which drinks? Sit down, pour yourself a glass, and read on!
