Okinawa

Gastronomy is a vehicle for many things. For Tomari, it is also a vehicle for peace.

A native of Okinawa, a Japanese island strategically located in the China Sea, Yasuhiro Tomari has seen how the region's food culture has been closely linked to war throughout history. 

Now, from the perspective of peace, the Japanese chef reflects on what the cuisine of Okinawa Prefecture should be.
