The Japanese Food Culture

In Japanese society, a meal goes beyond the food and eating it. It is known that Japanese doos were influenced by Asia countries due to geographical proximity. Traditional food is an important aspect of the culture and it is considered a world heritage. Thus, a traditional meal is not only aiming for the taste but also aiming to protect nature and transmit knowledge to future generations. The climate in Japan varies considerably, which allowed each city to develop its traditional dishes representing the area.

This has encouraged culinary tourism, where people travel throughout Japan to experience different flavours. Culinary tourism benefited Japanese culture and economy by supporting local villages and smaller communities.


The Roots of Japanese Food Culture

Food and its preparations, has always been important in Japan. Centuries ago, the Japanese have treated food with such unique approaches that traditions are born, passed down through generations.

These traditions have now become an art, preserved and maintained for the future. Some of these traditions form Washoku that is centred around using fresh ingredients grown in the earth of their bountiful homeland and combined together to present healthy & nutritious meals.
