Upcoming Themes

Our theme for July to September is… For the Love of Japanese Food
Submission deadline: Thursday 31 August 2023

"If I had to eat only in one city for the rest of my life, Tokyo would be it." - Anthony Bourdain

Japan Society members are no doubt familiar with the wonders of Japanese food in Tokyo and beyond! Sushi, ramen, kaiseki cuisine, even matcha latte or fluffy shokupan – it appears in all corners of the world; but what’s the thing you crave the most when you think about food in Japan, or even Japanese food in the UK?

Is there a recipe you make over and over, or something you always order at a Japanese restaurant? Maybe you’re Japanese and miss certain ingredients that you just can't find here in the UK? There might be a particular flavour or texture you seek when in need of a Japanese-food-fix, or something you must have when you go back to Japan for a visit. We want to hear from you! All submissions are welcome.

Members who are interested in contributing should submit these to membership@japansociety.org.uk with the subject header ‘Member’s Corner – ‘For the Love of Japanese Food’.
