Known for its \u003ci\u003eKyoyasai \u003c\/i\u003e(Kyoto-specific vegetables), its pure water, and as the nexus of Japanese culture, Kyoto is just the place to preserve \u003ci\u003ewashoku \u003c\/i\u003e(Japanese culinary tradition) for future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor and photographer Viola Gaskell and Japanese food writer Momoko Nakamura interviewed more than 30 producers and restaurateurs who go against the grain to perpetuate a lifestyle that is kind to the body and kind to the earth. For some, the choice was spurred by time abroad, for others it was a direct reaction to the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Internationally, appreciation for sustainable food is growing, and Kyoto has much to offer this global community as conscientious farmers and chefs set the course for a new direction for Japanese food that harkens back to its \u003ci\u003eshizen shoku \u003c\/i\u003eorigins that predate the Second World War. Beautifully packaged and featuring more than 100 color photographs, \u003ci\u003eFarm to Table Kyoto\u003c\/i\u003e highlights those who put their time and care into making the restaurant industry a more sustainable source of joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Viola Gaskell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951963660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951963668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trope Publishing Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Viola Gaskell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48460306153727,"sku":"9781951963668","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d30473b9-d185-4727-a1fc-8afc7f988247.jpg?v=1777413882","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/farm-to-table-kyoto-viola-gaskell-9781951963668","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
