Fermat Kitchen

Gaku Kitada had his sights set on a life in mathematics, but a string of setbacks leaves him unsure of what comes next. While drifting away from academic ambition he crosses paths with Kai Asakura, a restless young chef running a small food business. Kai is full of ideas and hands-on energy, and Gaku finds himself drawn to the kitchen as a place to apply a mathematician's patience and pattern sense to recipes and technique. The series follows their growing partnership, the experiments they try, and how two very different talents reshape each other's goals without giving away major plot turns.

Created by Yugo Kobayashi, Fermat Kitchen premiered in 2025 as an animated drama. The lead voices are Ryosuke Tomita as Gaku Kitada and Taito Ban as Kai Asakura, and the show mixes quiet character work with detailed food animation.

As of its initial release the series has not received major industry awards. It’s still early in its run, and recognition from larger ceremonies has yet to be reported, though the show has drawn attention in niche circles.

Fermat Kitchen has inspired online conversations at the intersection of math and food. Viewers have shared recipe attempts, fan art, and scene breakdowns that highlight the show’s focus on technique and problem solving, giving it a modest but active fan community.

Critical and viewer responses lean positive, reflected in a user vote average around 7.7 out of 10 from early ratings. Commenters often praise the realistic depiction of culinary craft and the quiet chemistry between the leads, while noting the show favors thoughtful pacing over constant action. Major themes include reinvention, the craft of skill development, and how different forms of intelligence can complement each other in creative work.
