Meal arrangment
Experiencing Japanese cuisine culture is one of the great pleasures and treasures of traveling.
Japanese food and culture is inextricably entwined and has been created by the various factors
of each region such as natural features, landscape, local climate and geography, farming
practices and specializations as well as historical influences.
Therefore, there are many unique and special flavors to savor in each local cuisine and every
authentic Japanese meal.
We visit various kinds of restaurants and eating establishments to share the experience of
enjoying their meals and the standards of their service.
