What is Fujinokuni, the food capital?
Creating a “food capital” in Fujinokuni
～From the kingdom of ingredients to the capital of food～
Shizuoka Prefecture is blessed with a diverse climate, including Japan's tallest Mt. Fuji and Japan's deepest Suruga Bay, and produces a variety of high-quality agricultural, forestry, and fishery products. The number of agricultural, forestry and fishery products produced is one of the highest in the country, and the number of awards received by the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is consistently high, making it a treasure trove of ingredients in both quantity and quality, a ``kingdom of ingredients'' so to speak.
In this prefecture, we take advantage of the ``power of the place'' as a ``kingdom of ingredients'' and combine the producers of ingredients with the chefs who prepare and serve them. We are creating a food culture unique to Shizuoka that is both beautiful and smart, and are working to create a ``food capital'' in Fujinokuni that will attract people from both Japan and abroad.
