Dungeon meshi is very Japanese.

Have you seen Dungeon meshi or "Delicious in Dungeon" anime?

This anime is originally from manga comic.

In a fantasy world of dungeon exploration, adventuring parties set out on expeditions to raid dungeons, with many hoping to find the mysterious Golden Kingdom, which is said to be the treasure of an island dungeon. The story begins as a group of adventurers unsuccessfully attempt to slay a red dragon and are forced to escape as it consumes the leader's sister, Falin Touden, a "tallman" (human) spellcaster. Wanting to rescue Falin, who used magic to teleport them to safety, the remaining members of the party—Laios Touden, a tallman swordsman; Chilchuck Tims, a halfling locksmith; and Marcille Donato, an elven spellcaster—brainstorm how to get back to the dungeon level with the dragon in time to save Falin from digestion. With most of their supplies left behind in the dungeon, their mission seems impossible until Laios, who secretly wants to eat dungeon monsters, suggests they sustain themselves by finding food inside, to which Chilchuck and Marcille reluctantly agree. Inside, they encounter Senshi, a dwarf with many years of experience surviving in the dungeon by cooking monsters and harvesting food. The story details their travels through the dungeon, the environments, traps, and monsters they encounter, and the meals they create.

I recited from wiki. This is the plot.

They live in a cliched "Lord of the Ring" style fantasy world, but when they make meal using ingredients of monsters in the dungeon, I felt it's very "Japanese".

There are lots of Japanese style dishes in Dungeon Meshi. And most of the ways of cooking are usually done in normal Japanese home. And also, the dwarf Senshi's philosophy about food eco system is also near to that of Japanese. I think the fantasy world concept are originally related to western countries like The Lord Of Ring, Wizardry, War Hammer, Dungeons and Dragons ore Magic the Gathering.

Those things are also really popular in Japan.

So Dungeon Meshi was western fantasy story arranged in Japanese mind.
