Anne ClausPresented by the Japan Information & Culture Center, Embassy of Japan.Once anchored by a deep reverence for the ocean, Japanese cuisine helped ignite a global appetite for seafood, with sushi as its most iconic ambassador. And yet, even as the world consumes more fish than ever, Japan is drifting away from the sea. The nation’s fishing industry is in sharp decline, and the taste for seafood is ebbing fast. In kitchens across the country, chefs are confronting this quiet crisis. For many, the fading love for the ocean and its gifts is not just a culinary concern; it’s a cultural reckoning. This talk traces the cultural and environmental forces that have reshaped Japanese gastronomy over the past two decades—and tells the stories of chefs and seafood advocates who have come together to fight the current and revive what is being lost.About the Speaker https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/49a6c550-ef4a-11f0-a259-774255d9d109-rimg-w1200-h290-dc000000-gmir.png Dr. C.
