Japanology Plus
S10E01 Kitchens
Historically, preparing meals in a Japanese kitchen required navigating between a dirt floor and an elevated wooden platform. In contrast, contemporary kitchens feature various innovative, space-efficient designs. Our guest, Associate Professor Suzaki Fumiyo, shares insights into this transformation and discusses the growing trend of some Japanese individuals opting for the rustic charm of a dirt-floor kitchen. Meanwhile, in Plus One, Matt Alt explores the significance of traditional kitchen tools.
