Flavor, culture, and centuries of tradition—all in one stunning space.
We got a sneak peek into the brand-new “WASHOKU: Traditional Dietary Cultures of the Japanese” exhibition at , and it’s a stunning celebration of why Japanese cuisine is recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
From the meticulous art of seasonal storytelling to the profound philosophy of washoku (harmony of food), this exhibit takes you on a gorgeous journey through Japan’s culinary soul. You’ll even get to see incredible displays like Japanese long kelp, an essential foundation of savory dashi broth, which can grow up to a massive 65 feet in length! 🌊🥢
