Shouta no Sushi: Kokoro ni Hibiku Shari no Aji follows a young boy who aspires to become a sushi chef just like his father. Diverging from the competitive tone of the original manga, the series emphasizes Japan’s efforts toward self‑sufficiency in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. By using the beloved franchise as a vehicle, the anime, funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, aims to educate viewers on these important policy issues.
