About Washoku

Washoku, or traditional Japanese cuisine, is the dietary culture of Japan with two important characteristics. The first element of washoku is a respect for nature by following the seasons and accenting the natural taste of the fresh vegetables rather than overpowering them with various seasonings. The second element is harmony by serving three components of rice, soup, and side dishes that complement one another.

Through the leadership of Isao Kumakura, the director of MIHO Museum in Japan, washoku is now officially listed as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity under the United Nations of Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
