Washoku

Washoku, designated as UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of humanity, is regarded highly from foreigners for being healthy and delicious. The program focuses on a nursery school in Fukuoka city, Fukuoka Pref., popular for its continuing efforts to serve school lunches centered on Washoku. The backbone to its taste is Dashi soup stock. A foreigner visiting a dried bonito factory in Yaizu, Shizuoka Pref. was amazed to find its process of production lasting to date since the Edo period. It will also show the business of leaf decorating Washoku, in Kamikatsu town, Tokushima Pref., where housewives and the elderly were actively participating. The program will rediscover the appeals of Washoku together with our foreign guests.
