''Wakako Zake'' differentiates itself from many other notable food-related manga with its utter simplicity. It doesn't have an central conflict, an overarching plot, or even a cast of significant characters outside of Wakako herself. It makes no special effort to be dramatic, educational, or comedic. It's essentially a SliceOfLife JournalComic centering around the pleasure of food and drink, and a character study of a young woman who's alone with her thoughts.

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Downplayed. Wakako is drawn slightly differently from all other characters -- mostly in her large oval eyes -- though this may be to more readily distinguish her from other characters.

* JournalComic: ''Wakako Zake'' certainly follows the ''format'' of a JournalComic, and the restaurants in the manga are based on places the author has actually visited, but the actual comics are at least somewhat fictionalized.

* AuthorAvatar: Played with. Wakako's character design is somewhat based on the author's likeness (a decision based on the editor's suggestion), and the first volume's afterword shows that the author is likewise fond of food and drink, but there's no clear evidence that Wakako and the author share opinions or beliefs.

* ObsessedWithFood: Wakako is portrayed as a regular person who loves food, but some chapters certainly show that food and drink occupy a rather large portion of her headspace.

* SliceOfLife: ''Wakako Zake'' is all about the simple pleasures of day-to-day life; its focus just happens to fall on a character's culinary life.

In contrast to many other noteworthy manga about food, ''WakakoZake'' doesn't strive to be action-packed, educational, or even especially comedic. There's no greater narrative linking it all together. It's essentially a SliceOfLife JournalComic centering around the pleasure of food and drink, and a character study of a young woman who's alone with her thoughts.

* ComfortFood: Eating (and, in some cases, being comforted by) familiar foods is more or less the basis of the entire series.

* FoodPorn: As is par for manga involving delicious food, the drawings of food are much more lovingly detailed than the characters or backgrounds.

* ImpossiblyDeliciousFood: Wakako is pretty good at making all her meals sound like this.
