Development
On November 4, 2021, Toei trademarked the name for the new series to be released for the 2022 season. On November 25, 2021, the series title was officially unveiled on Toei's official website. The website was later updated on January 9, 2022, with new information and a reveal of the main characters of the series. Regarding the main theme of the series, ABC Animation Producer Kanako Tada said that "Food and cooking is irreplaceable in life, and at the same time, it has many important elements that give color to everyday life. Through this work, the motto Yui Nagomi cherishes: 'Meals bring smiling faces' will surely be an important word for everyone." Toei Animation producer Yasumi Kaori also said that "Warm feelings will surely make you smile. The happiness and joy of 'sharing' smiles also opens up new smiles... With that in mind, I chose 'gratitude' and 'sharing' as the main theme, and 'food' as the center of the story."The series also marks the debut role for Hana Hishikawa, who started her voice acting career back in 2020.
On March 11, 2022, Toei Animation announced that the series would go on hiatus, due to its production being affected by a third-party hack that tampered with the studio's files. It was later announced on March 13, 2022, that the show would be on hiatus for four weeks. On April 3, 2022, it was announced that the show would be on hiatus for at least another week. On April 6, it was announced that the show would resume airing beginning on April 17.
