Washoku’ (Japanese cuisine) usually refers to food that was around before 1868, the end of Japan’s isolationist policies.  A few aspects that set Japanese cuisine apart from other cuisines are its emphasis on using fresh high quality natural ingredients, particular seasonality and impeccable presentation.
