Destination Flavour: Japan

In his twenties, Adam Liaw embarked on the biggest adventure of his young life: he packed a suitcase or two, (along with his Law degree), and set up shop in Japan. Over the next seven years he learned the language, fell in love with a Japanese girl, and was overwhelmed by a food culture that rivals – more often eclipses – all others. Now Adam returns to the country that first fired his passion for food in Destination Flavour: Japan. From the frozen ponds of Hokkaido in the north to the southern multicultural island of Okinawa, we follow the much-loved recipe of the first series of Destination Flavour: one-on-one encounters with the obsessive primary producers, local food legends and master chefs; peppered with recipes that anyone can try in their own kitchen.
