Golden Kamuy

Dungeon Meshi is to fantasy ecology as Golden Kamuy is to Ainu culture, making for a refreshing take on the adventure genre and its integration of certain nonfiction elements that make the worlds in each series feel more real/believable. While their plots differ, both have fun characters and incorporate interesting cooking/food preparation elements paired with a good sense of comedic timing throughout. Neither are completely slapstick and are able to deal with more serious themes, storylines and character development without losing their more carefree charm (although Dungeon Meshi is generally more lighthearted overall).
Both of them have a really good cooking aspect to them. Kamuy with it's Ainu inspired, non-fiction dishes. Meshi with its weird but strangely tasteful, monster concoctions.
Both their adventures have a breather-point of cooking what ever food they can find, taking a food break from the story.
Dungeon Meshi has more of a fantasy setting, where the food is surrounding them (creative cooking) vs Golden Kamuy is more realistic, traditional cooking.
Also, facial expressions, especially distaste is gross food material, is similar.
All the food looks good though!
