Kyoto | Japanese Cuisine Exhibition: The Wisdom of Japanese Nature and People
#7月好去地方2025
Starting from the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo, the popular special exhibition "Japanese Food --- The Wisdom of Japanese Nature and People" that has been touring all over Japan finally came to the Kyoto Museum. I happened to be in Kyoto, so of course I couldn't miss this educational and entertaining exhibition. Although I don't understand Japanese, I can get a glimpse of the power of Japanese food just by looking at the pictures and models.
The exhibition is quite interesting from various perspectives such as science and history, as well as various specimens and materials. Just water quality and radish, there are so many varieties produced in Japan alone, no wonder Japanese pickles are so famous! I also saw the evolution of daily Japanese food, and it also incorporated foreign Western food, sashimi, Oyakodon, eel rice, sushi, tempura, etc. The whole tour really made me more and more hungry!
The special exhibition of the Kyoto Museum is on the third and fourth floors, the permanent exhibition is on the second floor, and there is also a cafe on the first floor, which has a pretty nice dining atmosphere.
