I’m documenting my journey of recreating regional food across Japan’s 47 prefectures

As the title suggests, I’ve started a little mini project: documenting my journey across all 47 prefectures of Japan, making a few dishes from each region. Starting up north in Hokkaido and slowly making my way down south to Okinawa. I’m definitely not an expert — honestly, I’m probably (no, definitely) going to make mistakes along the way.

If you’re from a certain prefecture, or if you have any dish recommendations, please let me know! I’d love to add them to this growing list of dishes I’m learning.
