Under the Taste Scope
Food is one of the ways we make sense of the world.
Starting with Japanese food and wandering beyond it, I write essays about history, memory, travel, and the people behind what we eat.
Each essay begins with food and ends somewhere beyond it.
About the Author
Kyoto-raised, Tokyo-based. Given my dual background in academic research and business consulting, I can’t help but look for the stories and patterns hidden in what we eat.
