Food-Anime-Storyboard-Generator Prompt

Create a professional anime production storyboard sheet for a **15-second cooking animation featuring authentic Edo-style Sushi (江戸前寿司 / 握り寿司)**.

The cooking process should accurately reflect professional Tokyo high-end sushi restaurant techniques while delivering elegant anime-style food presentation and a **calm early summer atmosphere in a refined Tokyo sushi counter setting (初夏・静謐な高級寿司店の空気感)**.

The storyboard should depict the complete preparation process of **maguro (tuna), toro (fatty tuna), and unagi (eel)** sushi while maintaining strict visual continuity across all panels.

# Workflow Adaptation Rule

Before creating the storyboard:

1. Follow authentic Edo-mae sushi counter workflow
2. Separate fish preparation, rice shaping, and nigiri assembly stages
3. Emphasize craftsmanship and hand technique
4. Highlight maguro, toro, and unagi equally
5. Build toward final plated sushi as the hero composition
6. Maintain strict continuity of counter, lighting, and tools

# Realism and Culinary Accuracy Rules

Prioritize authentic sushi craftsmanship:

* Precise slicing of maguro and toro
* Hand-formed sushi rice (shari)
* Clean, minimal unagi handling
* Realistic weight, pressure, and texture of food

Avoid all exaggerated or stylized effects.

---

## Ingredient Preparation Rules

* Maguro: clean block slicing into uniform nigiri portions
* Toro: delicate slicing emphasizing marbling texture
* Unagi: already grilled kabayaki, cut into sushi topping size

---

## Unagi Correct Technique Rule (FINAL)

For unagi nigiri:

* Grilled eel (kabayaki) is placed on top of hand-formed sushi rice
* After the nigiri is fully formed, the chef applies tare sauce **using a brush directly on the surface of the eel**
* Brush movement is slow, precise, and minimal
* No pre-dipping in sauce
* No cutting during final assembly
* Focus on glossy finish and craftsmanship, not drama

---

## Liquid Realism Rules

* Sauce is applied as a thin controlled glaze via brush
* No drip
