The beautiful appearance is another captivating aspect of Washoku. It’s not just the ingredients that change seasonally, but the colors of tableware that also reflect the time of year. Additionally, flowers can also be used to accentuate the presentation. <br> In true Japanese style, these details subtly emphasize and create a more luxurious and enjoyable dining experience. In recognition of these elements, Washoku was put on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2013. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li class="heritage__list-item"> <div class="our-heritage"> <div class="our-heritage__aside"> <h2 class="our-heritage__title sp-only"> <picture> <img src="https://yamaki-global.com/wp/wp-content/themes/yamaki-global/assets/img/ourheritage/index/title_katsuobushi_sp.png" width="306" height="113" alt="“Katsuobushi” Bonito-frakes かつお節" /> </picture> </h2> <p class="our-heritage__image"> <picture> <source srcset=" https://yamaki-global.com/wp/wp-content/themes/yamaki-global/assets/img/ourheritage/index/ourheritage_img_katsuobushi_sp.png, https://yamaki-global.com/wp/wp-content/themes/yamaki-global/assets/img/ourheritage/index/ourheritage_img_katsuobushi_sp@2x.png 2x " media="(max-width: 768px)" /> <img src="https://yamaki-global.com/wp/wp-content/themes/yamaki-global/assets/img/ourheritage/index/ourheritage_img_katsuobushi_pc.png" srcset=" https://yamaki-global.com/wp/wp-content/themes/yamaki-global/assets/img/ourheritage/index/ourheritage_img_katsuobushi_pc@2x.png 2x " width="478" height="323" alt="" role="none" /> </picture> </p> </div> <div class="our-heritage__body"> <h2 class="our-heritage__title pc-only"> <picture> <source srcset="https://yamaki-global.com/wp/wp-content/themes/yamaki-global/assets/img/ourheritage/index/title_katsuobushi_sp.png" media="(max-width: 768px)" /> <img src="https://yamaki-global.com/wp/wp-content/themes/yamaki-global/assets/img/ourheritage/index/title_katsuobushi.png" width="388" height="79" alt="“Katsuobushi” Bonito-frakes かつお節" /> </picture> </h2> <div class="our-heritage__text"> <div class="our-heritage__text-body text-body"> <div class="text-body__main"> <p class="text-body__text"> Katsuobushi (boiled and dried-smoked skipjack tuna) flakes are a traditional Japanese cooking ingredient.
