Eating street stall food and remembering your past life is a bit of a stretch, but it's what happens here to the poor MC who discovers that the nobles of this world all eat food with tons of sugary cream!  Cream covered fish for breakfast?  Sugary manticore??? That's crazy!  Well, if you ask me, what's crazier is that there's a country like Japan in this world (MC just wasn't born in it) so Japanese food already exists, roughtly, it's just not popular where she is.  (Yet cream covered fish is?)  Craziest of all, all it seems to take is her introducing the other food and everyone instantly loves it.  Yeah, you'd think their sugary palette would leave them inclined to be disintereested- things like that are cultural and genetic.  If everyone was predisposed to eating sugar-coated food in a world where savory food existed... they should'nt just immediately like it, so that's my biggest hangup.  Also I'm confused on what the premise is supposed to be besides 'I'm cooking and everybody loves me/it' honestly.  (And then there's a perverted magical talking tiger that's also a boy and he seems to just be there to eat too.)

Guilty pleasure read that will certainly be loved by a specific group of people. Unfortunately, I do not belong to that group. I was really excited to read this since it was an isekai story about creating Japanese food. And it did meet that. Just that. Nothing else. The main character is an uber special kid who experiences literally no issues or consequences in her life. They're the Japanese equivalent of a Mary Sue - capable, quiet, respectable, and loved by all. Stories like this cater to people who are after this exact trope. Since it's not my type of content, this didn't meet my standards. I really don't enjoy the fact that she gets everything she wants with no pushback or difficulty from other people. Her family prohibits her from cooking because it's not befitting a noble lady? She feeds them and everything's forgotten. Two noble holy beasts are fighting to become her familiar? No worries, both of you can be the FLs holy beasts. The kingdom disapproves of her cooking methods? The crown prince, sent to control her, ends up falling in love with her. No consequence! No nothing!  The author, who clearly loves Japanese food, should know better. Adding a little spice can help highlight the qualities of the dish, elevating tastes and flavors in ways that they could never do on their own. Similar to creating a story, some conflict would help develop the characters and explore internal thoughts that a smooth-flowing story could never do. Not a bad read, just not for me. You can give it a try if you're interested in a more cooking-centered plot point. Dropped at Chapter 8.
