Food Traditions in Japan - Traveling to Unlock Secrets of Shojin-Ryori with Bernd Shellhorn & Mitsue Nagase

Revisting a great discussion from 2021 with two creative and talented people: Kyoto-based, talented couple Bernd and Mitsue who love to travel and know great food!

German Shojin-Ryori Chef Bernd Schellhorn and his partner, who is a talented photographer and food stylist Mitsue Nagase talk here about a passion project is called: "Shōjin & the Roots of Food-Traditions in Japan"

In 2021-2 they are doing a series of in-depth interviews with experts and artisans across Japan which will lead to beautiful and insightful content I am excited to see in 2022.

It is so important to document these traditional aspects of Japanese culture, so important to Japanese heritage, but are dwindling in use and understanding in modern life.
