"Local gourmets" are surging popularity in Japan. The local gourmet event where over 300 shops throughout Japan participated was a huge success when we visited. Here, one can enjoy a variety of local dishes while being presented with its related stories. We hopped down to Hiroshima to discover how an itinerary for a tour highlighting local gourmets is being developed. Then moved onto Fukuroi city, Shizuoka Pref. where a 200 year-old gourmet dish was revived to revitalize the town. How will these Japanese so passionate over local gourmets appear to foreigners?
