A video game spinoff for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch was released in April 2021 for Japan and June 2021 worldwide. It was delayed from its original release because of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic.

** The hamburg steak chapter has Shirou remember how much Kiritsugu used to love eating hamburgers, as he mentions in ''LightNovel/FateZero''.

* VocalEvolution: Creator/HisakoKanemoto's performance as young Taiga is very different from how she portrayed her as Zecchan in ''[[LightNovel/FateZero Please! Einzbern's Consulation Room]]''. In ''Please! Einzbern's Consulation Room'', Zecchan has a very earnest, serious but naive voice, but it was more on the side of the generic cutesy spectrum. In ''Emiya-san'', young Taiga sounds slightly more mature, playful and very relaxed. This might be justified since Zecchan was an amnesiac Taiga, but the difference is still very noticeable.

* StealthPun: Possibly unintentional, but another name for a pat on the back is a 'clap on the back.' When Lancer gives Shiruo a pat on the back in episode 2 it is accompanied with a thunder sound effect. In other words, a thunderclap.

* SliceOfLife: There's no serious plot in this series, just the characters going about their everyday lives and enjoying the meals Shirou cooks.

* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: Toned down compared to most {{Creator/Ufotable}} series, but can still be seen with the cars, effects and some background elements and objects. Some more noticeable instances include a crate of falling alcohol in Episode 4, some close up shots during Archer's cooking scenes in Episode 11 and Rider [[PedalToTheMetalShot hitting the gas]] in Episode 12.

** When Shinji appears, he is not the arrogant jerk villain that he is in the main series. Rather, he's more like some grumpy-yet-harmless and anti-social teenager that Sakura and Rider have to literally drag to Emiya family meals. {{Justified}}, since it's canon he returns to his still haughty yet tolerable self in the timelines in which he survives the war.

''Today's Menu for the Emiya Family'' (''Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan'') is a SliceOfLife cooking-based spin-off of the ''[[Franchise/FateSeries Fate]]'' franchise's ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', written by [=TAa=]. The manga began serialization in the {{seinen}} magazine ''Young Ace Up'' in 2016, and it has been licensed for an English release by Denpa. The series received an animated adaptation by Creator/{{Ufotable}}, first airing on December 31, 2017 with subsequent episodes airing on a monthly basis. The show is aired by Website/{{Crunchyroll}} with the appropriate regional subtitles.

* SpinOff: For ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.

Similar to ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia'', it's set in a scenario where all participants of the Fifth Holy Grail War survive, and features [[SupremeChef Shirou Emiya]] doing what he does best: preparing dinner for the household.

Has a SpiritualSuccessor in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', ''Eirei Shokubunroku'', featuring the FGO Servants cooking meals from across time and space.

Justified, since it's canon he returns to his still haughty yet tolerable self in the timelines in which he survives the war.
* AdaptedOut: Thanks to circumstances not getting as dire, True Assassin doesn't get to enjoy Shirou's cooking. Berserker shows up, but he's in the same boat as TA consumption wise. Gilgamesh is a partial case, as he does make an appearance in the manga but not in the anime. Bazett is also absent, as she's presumably either still in a coma or has moved away (the series takes place over several months). Caren isn't in this either, but that might be because she's busy with her Church duties and there's no reason for the cast to go to the Church.

* AlternateContinuity: In the same vein as ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia'', this is a LighterAndSofter timeline where everyone survives the Holy Grail War.
* AnimationBump: The volleyball match between Shirou and Saber vs. Archer and Lancer gets the full Creator/{{Ufotable}} treatment in the animation as if it was an actual battle scene in a more serious Fate anime, taking it up to MundaneMadeAwesome levels.

* BigEater: Saber loves food and wolfs down as much of it as she can. As a result, she's almost always one of the first to dig in at the end of a cooking segment and is frequently seen drooling over whatever's cooking.
* BlackComedy: The Volleyball match between Shirou and Saber vs. Archer and Lancer. Even in this low stakes, slice-of-life series, Archer is still [[spoiler:trying to find his opportunity to kill Shirou]]. It gets PlayedForLaughs here.

** In chapter 2, [[Videogame/FateGrandOrder Fionn]] appears in Shirou's thought bubble when he discusses [[Myth/CelticMythology his myth]] with [[MakesSenseInContext the Salmon of Knowledge]].

* ChristmasEpisode: Illya invites the gang over for a Christmas party in her castle in one chapter. Shirou barely cooks anything in that one (he manages a simple roast), given Sella and Leysritt cooked everything else already.

* CoolBigSis: Sakura's admiration of Rin is displayed prominently here, such as episode 8, where she calls Rin "amazing" and pays diligent attention to Rin's explanation on cooking fried rice. [[spoiler: Rin is, of course, literally Sakura's admirable elder sister.]]

** Episode 11 has Archer as the main focus, and he's also the one who cooks the episode's featured meal. Shirou doesn't even appear until near the end of the episode. [[spoiler:If you consider how Archer is Shirou's AlternateSelf and that his True Name is EMIYA (making this episode "EMIYA-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan") it's not too surprising.]] He even gets a more jazzy version of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBpPu5g051w&t=3477s cooking theme]], including a little snippet from [[spoiler:"EMIYA"]]!

* DynamicEntry: Kaede Makidera in episode 10 enters the student council room in a rather flashy manner (she even wall-runs!) when confronting Issei about rejecting the track team's school festival proposal. Her track team companions are significantly less noisy, especially the demure Yukika, who apologizes repeatedly to Shirou as she enters.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Young Shirou, Young Taiga and ''Kiritsugu'' appear in the ending credits, referencing the WholeEpisodeFlashback chapter where Shirou recalls his first time making hamburg steak.
* EatingOptional: As Lancer points out, Servants don't actually ''have'' to eat. They just do when the food tastes good.

* EverybodyLives: ''Fate/stay Night'' has three routes, and several people die in each one. In this particular timeline, somehow the Fifth Holy Grail War ended without anyone dying at all. Thus, all of them have a chance to enjoy a meal at the Emiya household.

* TheFaceless: Archer gets this treatment in the early series. Whenever he shows up, the series makes certain that he's not to have his face shown at any point, whether he's facing away from the viewer, having his face obscured, or being so far away in the background that you can't make out his facial features. Later installments are a little more merciful, as the anime gives him a shot of his face on the promotional poster for the second half of the show, and the manga has a few chapters where he's relevant and fully shown. [[spoiler:This gets hilariously reversed in episode 11 when Archer is the focus so this time we never fully see Shirou's face the entire episode.]]
* FamedInStory: Played for laughs in that Shirou isn't famous around his school for his actual heroics, but his ''cooking''. In episode 10, the prospect of actually getting the chance to eat one of his meals actually motivates the Student Council, who are very much dead tired at the time, to finish their preparations for the school festival.
* FoodPorn: The theme of the manga/anime shows off known Japanese meals.
* FriendlyEnemy: Most of the animosity between characters from the main series is heavily downplayed here. Beyond occasional bouts of suspicion, everyone gets along rather well.
* GoingNative: Caster discards her sinister-looking mage's cowl for something fitting in 21st century Japan, and happily becomes a housewife. We see her sweeping the temple's pathway and cooking for Kuzuki.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Technically speaking, Saber and Lancer are still on opposing sides of the Holy Grail War. While Lancer simply [[FriendlyEnemy doesn't care]], Saber is equal parts suspicious and baffled when Lancer shows up at her and Shirou's doorstep in casual clothes and with a bag of booze. Even more so when Caster shows up wanting to learn cooking.
* HappilyEverAfter: The whole series acts as this to ''stay Night''. Although the original story has multiple endings, some of the heroes inevitably die in each one. This is a continuity where the Holy Grail War ended with everyone surviving and becoming friends afterwards.

* LighterAndSofter: In comparison to the often dark and tragic tone of ''stay Night'' and other entries of the franchise, as it's essentially a laid-back SliceOfLife akin to ''Hollow Ataraxia'', where none of the characters have died and the main focus is on cooking and enjoying delicious food.
* MenCantKeepHouse: Averted. Both Shirou and Archer are very good at cooking and housekeeping. Rin primarily uses Archer for the latter.

** The first chapter has Taiga and Illya pop up in their Tiger Dojo outfits, asking why nobody's participating in the Grail War.

* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: Lancer can be seen working everywhere. He's introduced in the first episode as a fishmonger and later works in a cafe as a waiter.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Even in a lighthearted series such as this, Kiritsugu still has [[DullEyesOfUnhappiness empty lifeless eyes]].

* OhCrap: Shirou's panics when Archer uses strengthening magic on their volleyball before he serves it in episode 7.

* PrettyFreeloaders: The eponymous Emiya "family" isn't exactly a conventional family so much as Shirou and a bunch of unrelated people (usually girls) who hang at his house and eat his food. Well, aside from his one ''actual'' family member, [[spoiler:his adoptive sister Illya]], and his long-deceased adoptive father Kiritsugu in a flashback. Taiga is an interesting case in that she's legally Shirou's guardian after Kiritsugu passed away, but doesn't actually live with Shirou and instead at her family home in the same neighborhood.

* RealPlaceBackground: The cafe seen in episode 11 looks strikingly similar to the real life Ufotable Cafe in Nagano.

* LighterAndSofter: In comparison to the often dark and tragic tone of ''stay Night'' and other entries of the franchise, as it's essentially a slice-of-life akin to ''Hollow Ataraxia''.
