Exploring History Through Food
By Felix Lim
Our ancestors lived cohesively with nature and their lives were blessed by it. Chef Yoshihiro Narisawa has been trying to replicate the knowledge our ancestors had because he recognised that it is sustainable and beneficial to the human body and spirit. To eat seasonal and local products is to nourish us. Ingredients are derived from nature, so a chef needs to understand the nature as a naturalist and has to champion the importance of it to the world. That is the reason one of his signature dishes “Satoyama scenery" was made; his responsibility as a naturalist.
