[Reading] "Western Cuisine and Japan" Rosanjin Kitaoji / With "Chakaiseki Akiyoshi" in Paris. 

The Japanese artist Kitaoji Rosanjin (1883-1959) was active in a variety of fields, including calligraphy, pottery, seal engraving, cooking, and gastronomy.
In 1954, he traveled to Europe and the United States and wrote an essay about his experiences at that time.
This time, I will read aloud one of them, an essay titled "Western Cuisine and Japan."

The video shows a meal at Chakaiseki Akiyoshi, a high-class Japanese restaurant that opened in Paris in January 2023.
This is probably the first authentic cha-kaiseki restaurant outside of Japan, offering the finest Japanese cuisine.
