Japan's Ultimate Food Tour — Kyoto, Osaka and Yamanishi

Editor's Take

Moving from the formal restraint of Kyoto's kaiseki to the clamor of Osaka's Dotonbori, this food tour is organized around contrast. It sets refinement against exuberance, then detours to rural Yamanashi for sake and wagyu to widen the picture. The film is as interested in setting and ritual as in the dishes themselves. It offers a useful sense of how varied a single national cuisine can be.

This film is an ultimate Japanese food tour, moving from the ancient kaiseki tradition of Kyoto to the street food madness of Osaka's Dotonbori. It also ventures into rural Yamanashi for extraordinary sake and wagyu, revealing the range of the country's cuisine. Shot in 4K, it captures both the refinement and the exuberance of eating in Japan. It is a rich journey through one of the world's great food cultures. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
