Abstract

In this text we aimed at presenting aspects of the Japanese culinary that we consider relevant, and we discuss the importance of making the knowledge of this and other traditions that human beings have invented/developed to survive and to create their identity accessible. We based ourselves on the idea that gastronomy, as a set of understandings directly related to the culture and art of preparation and presentation of different kinds of food, must take individuals to a deeper knowledge about coutries and peoples, but, above all, of humanity it self. In this sense, our commitment is not only with a society that has specificity marks, but also generalizes the conquests already achieved. Therefore, the gastronomy that we aupport goes beyond tasting and the experience with news flavors, it has a humanizing and educational character.
