Washoku - The Nature of Japan and the Wisdom of Its People

"Washoku" has been established and uniquely developed against the backdrop of the diverse nature of the Japanese archipelago and the wisdom and history of its people. Moreover, it continues to evolve while flexibly embracing foreign food cultures. Twelve years after being registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, "Washoku" is garnering increasing attention from around the world. This exhibition vividly introduces the charm of Washoku, which may seem familiar yet is surprisingly little known, including diverse ingredients, people's wisdom and ingenuity, historical transitions, and challenges for the future.
