Where to Watch
You can watch Food for the Soul episode 8 on Crunchyroll, which is great for fans outside Japan. It’ll be available soon after it airs in Japan, usually with English subtitles. Some regions might get a dubbed version too. In Southeast Asia, you can stream it on Aniplus Asia through Plus Media Networks Asia. In Japan, tune into Tokyo MX, Tochigi TV, Gunma TV, BS11, Nagoya TV, ABC TV, or AT-X. More platforms might be added later, so check Sportskeeda or the anime’s official pages for updates.
To watch on Crunchyroll or Aniplus Asia, you might need a subscription. Some platforms let you watch free with ads, but a paid account gives you better quality and faster access. Look for the episode a few hours after it airs in Japan.
What Happens in Episode 8?
A Tasty New Story
Episode 8 picks up with the Food Culture Research Club, a group of five college girls who love food and being friends. In episode 7, they went camping, made pizza, played at the beach, and watched fireworks. Kurea felt lonely about losing touch with old friends, but Mako cheered her up, making their friendship stronger. Episode 8 will likely show more of their summer fun and food adventures.
Expect the girls to try a new recipe or visit a fun place, like a food market or festival. The show always has pretty food scenes and sweet moments, so this episode will probably have both. It might focus on Kurea again or show the whole group enjoying a new activity together.
Why It’s Special
Food for the Soul, created by Atto (who made Non Non Biyori) and animated by P.A. Works, is a cozy anime about friendship and food. The club members—Mako, Nana, Shinon, Tsutsuji, and Kurea—each have unique personalities that make the show fun. Mako loves cooking, Nana is shy, Shinon is lively, Tsutsuji is chill, and Kurea is thoughtful. Episode 8 might show Kurea growing more confident or Shinon being funny at her restaurant job. The story will feel warm and happy, like always.
How to Get Ready
