Style of Hiroshi Nohara’s Lunch [Season 1 Episode 6: Style of Tonteki Style of American-Style Chinese Food]

Ever stood in front of the school cafeteria or your favorite snack shop, torn between splurging on that thing you’ve been craving and saving your allowance for later? That’s exactly the energy of Style of Hiroshi Nohara’s Lunch Season 1 Episode 6—Style of Tonteki Style of American-Style Chinese Food. And if you think a show about a salaryman’s lunch breaks sounds boring, think again. This Shin-chan spin-off is full of relatable moments, silly humor, and food porn that’ll make you grab a snack mid-watch.

First off, let’s get to know Hiroshi Nohara—yes, he’s Shin-chan’s dad from the iconic Crayon Shin-chan series. But here, we step away from Shin-chan’s chaotic household and follow Hiroshi during his lunch breaks at Futaba Corporation. Each episode dives into his quest for the perfect midday meal, balancing budget, time, and that tiny spark of joy we all need to get through the workday (or school day, for us).

Episode 6 splits into two parts, each focusing on a different dish: tonteki (Japanese pork steak) and American-style Chinese food. Let’s start with tonteki. Picture Hiroshi eyeing a cozy tonteki spot near his office—he’s been wanting to try it forever, but his wallet’s thin after paying bills (relatable, right?). Maybe he’s just had a rough meeting with his boss, or a junior coworker asks him to treat them. Either way, when he finally takes that first bite—crunchy breaded pork, juicy inside, dipped in that tangy, savory sauce—the show goes all out with dramatic close-ups and Hiroshi’s over-the-top reactions. It’s so extra, but in the best way possible. It feels like when you finally get that limited-edition snack you’ve been waiting for and it’s even better than you imagined.

Then there’s the American-style Chinese food segment. Hiroshi’s in a rush—he’s got a sales meeting in 15 minutes and needs something quick but satisfying. He dashes into a tiny Chinese joint, grabs a bento box filled with sweet and sour pork and crispy chow mein, and wolfs it down while checking his work emails. But even in the hurry, he pauses for a second to savor the flavors. It’s like when you have 10 minutes between classes and you scarf down your favorite fast food—you don’t have time to sit and relax, but it still makes your day a little brighter.

What makes this episode so great is the little relatable details. Hiroshi vents about his annoying boss (we’ve all had that teacher who’s always on our case), debates whether to treat his juniors to lunch (like when your friends beg you to buy them boba and you’re like, “But I was saving for that game!”), and struggles to find meals that fit his tight schedule. These moments make Hiroshi feel like a real person, not just a cartoon character.

Fans on MyAnimeList are loving how this show mixes humor with heart. It’s not just about food—it’s about finding happiness in the small things, even when life feels busy and stressful. The art style is warm and familiar (since it’s a Shin-chan spin-off), and the jokes are light and silly—no complicated plots, just good vibes.

By the end of the episode, you’ll probably find yourself craving tonteki or American-style Chinese food (or both). But more than that, you’ll look at your next lunch break a little differently. Maybe you’ll take an extra minute to savor your sandwich, or try that new snack spot you’ve been eyeing. Style of Hiroshi Nohara’s Lunch Season 1 Episode 6 is a fun, cozy watch that’s perfect for a lazy afternoon or a quick break between classes. Trust me, it hits different.

So grab your favorite snack, sit back, and give this episode a watch. You won’t regret it!
