ABOUT US
How Japanese Food Craftsman started and our Vision for the Future
Our channel's journey started in 2020.
Since then, we have been creating videos about the stories of Japanese food craftsmen and women.For that, our small team has visited restaurants and small shops all over the country.
But how did our journey start?
During the pandemic, we witnessed neighborhood shops and restaurants closing down. Many long-established restaurants were slowly fading away, whether it was to bad sales or the lack of successors. We started to wonder if there wasn't something we could do to preserve this part of the Japanese culture.
What was it that we could do?
We started sharing the charm of local restaurants and shops with the whole world. So that people would remember them. And perhaps again go out of their way to pay a visit.
What will the future bring?
We hope for Japans nostalgic and beautiful scenery to remain the same, even 100 years from now on.
And we hope that these videos will give all of you the energy you need for tomorrow.
Our Mission
We want to contribute to preserving Japan’s nostalgic sceneries.Townscapes are created by local shops that have been doing business there for years.Long-established stores are filled with Japanese culture that even Japanese people do not know of. Each store has its own unique color.This color is the essence of Japan’s culture and charm.However, as more and more of these stores vanish, their color slowly fades away.To preserve Japan’s charm, we will continue sharing videos. We will continue to do our utmost to carry the colorfulness of the nostalgic landscape of Japan into the future.
