Self-initiated illustrated facts about the history of food in Japan, covering the stories behind the dishes you already love. A flour bag that crossed borders twice, the monk who accidentally started Japan’s udon obsession, how disaster shaped okonomiyaki, and the one very determined man with a garden shed who invented instant ramen.
Research, writing, and illustration by Anna Lena Feunekes, originally created for The Illustrated Kitchen newsletter.
