During the Edo period, Osaka was an economic center and a strategic point for both land and sea transportation.
Osaka became an economic center by gathering local specialties and
fresh ingredients from all over the country.
The flourishing commercial activities had a great impact on the culinary culture.
Osaka developed as a city of merchant, it is known as The Nation's Kitchen.
The food culture in Osaka was characterized by a rational concept of
thrift that permeated every corner of daily life.
On the other hand, restaurants with high quality food that wowed customers' taste buds also survived.
In this way, Osaka's passion for food grew, and the city began to develop, a "food culture" that emphasized the importance of taking good care of ingredients, avoiding waste, and discarding as little as possible, this is called The "Mottainai Spirit" took root in the city.
This historical background of Osaka has led to the implementation of food sustainability, which is linked to today's SDGs.
We are pleased to introduce "Gastronomy Tourism," a trip to enjoy unique food culture experiences, including exchanges with producers who are committed to food sustainability.
