Washoku rests on seasonality, precision and respect for each ingredient — UNESCO-listed since 2013. The pleasures range from a single perfect piece of nigiri to slurped ramen, crisp tempura and the multi-course theatre of kaiseki. Tokyo regularly tops the global table for Michelin stars, yet the soul of the country is the neighbourhood izakaya and the dawn market. Regional identity runs deep: Osaka lives for street food, Kyoto for refined kaiseki, Sapporo for miso ramen…

Sushi, ramen, tempura, kaiseki: Japanese cuisine, «washoku», has been on the UNESCO list since 2013. Precision, seasons and respect for the ingredient make it a world benchmark.

Tokyo is regularly the city with the most Michelin stars, ahead of Paris.

To taste: the Toyosu market and neighbourhood izakayas. With a data eSIM, translate Japanese menus, read reviews and find hidden gems.
