World Heritage – The world of Washoku
“Encountering many delicious foods increases the pleasure of any journey. In Japan, there are many different food cultures, including famous foods such as sushi, tempura, and sukiyaki, that are well known overseas, and also other, equally delicious but less well known foods such as ramen and takoyaki. Among these is “Washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which has been recently recorded on the list of the World’s Intangible Cultural Heritage. Let’s explore the world of Washoku and discover its flavors and the things that make it special.”
