Tosakure
Bonito Gastronomy
The components of gastronomy are ”production area, agriculture/fisheries, agricultural and marine products, distribution processing, chefs, cooking methods, food services, festivals/ceremonies, foodways, wineries/brewing, and food culture." The food culture of Tosakure includes all of these and is able to meet all the criteria.
It's not just gourmet food, it's real gastronomy here.
gastronomy
While the word cooking refers to the method of preparing ingredients, cooking refers to a comprehensive academic field that focuses on cooking and considers various cultural elements such as art, history, science, and sociology. This course considers the relationship between culture and cuisine, and researches everything from specific aspects such as ingredients, cooking, and taste, to the significance of meals and the practice of eating from a spiritual perspective.
Gastronomy tourism refers to tourism whose purpose is to enjoy food and experience food culture that has been nurtured by the ingredients, customs, traditions, and history of the local climate.
