When traveling in Japan, "food" is one of the indispensable attractions. Japanese food has been registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage as a Washoku and is attracting attention from around the world.

Recently, gastronomy tourism has been established as a style of travel that enjoys the aims of food nurtured by ingredients, customs, traditions, and history produced by the local climate and to experience the local food culture.

Japan's land stretches from north to south, surrounded by oceans, with mountainous areas covering 75% of the country, providing an abundance of foodstuffs from the sea, mountains, and villages.

The seasons are changing, and each season has its seasonal ingredients, and various cooking methods have developed.

For these reasons, Japan's food culture is characterized by the rich individuality of each region and each season, and there is never a dull moment. Japan is the perfect location for enjoying gastronomy tourism.

Let's go on a journey to Japan's food culture.

📍Towada City, Aomori

Introducing Bara-yaki, a home-cooked dish enjoyed around the Towada area. Bara-yaki is made by cooking bara beef (meat around ribs) and plenty of onions in a hot iron pan. Seasoned with a soy-based sweet and spicy sauce, the recipe is inspired by Bulgogi, a Korean dish with grilled beef. Bara-yaki is not just a popular home-cooked dish; it has become one of the signature dishes at local restaurants in the area.

📍Yawatahama, Ehime

Ehime Prefecture is home to over 200 islands off the coasts of the Seto Inland Sea and the Uwa Sea, and it is a major producer of citrus fruits. Yawatahama is famous for its terraced mikan orchards, which are built on the slopes of stones stacked from the shoreline. Taking in all the sunlight from the sky, the sea, and the stone slopes, unshu mikan oranges grow to be quite high-quality in terms of sweetness and color.

Genboku Shiitake Mushrooms🍄
📍Kunisaki Peninsula, Oita

Surrounded by forests of sawtooth oak trees, the traditional growing of shiitake mushrooms has long been practiced in this area. Shiitake mushrooms on oak trees grow bigger and plumper. By taking well over two years to grow them, they retain umami and aroma, making them perfect for high-quality dried shiitake with a chewy texture.
