MISSION

The Gohan Society’s mission is to advocate for a mutual appreciation of culinary heritage between the United States and Japan through outreach to chefs, culinary arts professionals, and food enthusiasts. Through cultural and gastronomic education and exchange, chefs, food and wine professionals, and those interested in the unique sensibility of Japanese culinary traditions, we hope to inspire and enrich their artistry, as well as their cultural understanding.

The Gohan Society serves as a resource for traditional Japanese food culture and cuisine--the ingredients, techniques and methods of food production, and serves as a catalyst for the expansion of that knowledge.
