PREFACE by SAORI KAWANO

Food culture in the United States has undergone momentous changes in the past three decades. When I first moved to New York City in 1978, Japanese restaurants were small hole-in-the-wall establishments. They served Americanized Japanese food like chicken teriyaki and shrimp tempura, dishes that satisfied a craving for the exotic while still catering to the western palate. Americans were frightened by the idea of eating raw fish, and most restaurant-goers did not appreciate the subtlety of Japanese cuisine.

In this environment, I watched sandwich-eating elementary school students tease my daughter about the lovingly packed bento boxes she brought to school every day. I felt sorry that my daughter was the object of ridicule because of her traditional Japanese lunches. At the same time, I was disheartened by the American publics lack of understanding and appreciation for Japans proud cuisine and culinary heritage.

At this point, I knew that I wanted to play an active part in transforming Americas food culture and to help bridge this culinary gap between the United States and my home country. In 1982 I rented a small space in downtown New York City and founded Korin to introduce to the hospitality industry the exquisite craftsmanship of Japanese tableware and chef knives.

After nearly 25 years of introducing new and traditional Japanese products to western restaurants and chefs, I wanted to share even more of Japans rich culinary heritage. So in 2005 I founded The Gohan Society, a non-profit organization whose mission is to encourage an understanding and appreciation of Japans culinary heritage in the United States by reaching out to chefs, culinary arts professionals, and people who admire and enjoy Japanese culture.
