THE UTMOST ATTENTION TO DETAIL

 

Traditional Japanese food has always been as pretty as it’s tasty, becoming recognized as an Intangible UNESCO Cultural Heritage. From the perfectly arranged shapes and colors to reflect the seasons, the style of every little plate and cup, to sushi bites and the Japanese cute take on pastries, every time you buy food it will have the utmost attention to presentation. The land that loves ‘kawaii’ and cartoon characters bento boxes never disappoints when it comes to food aesthetics. Staying home and cooking more in the spring of 2020 blossomed into these beautiful cooking trends in Japan.
