Description

Welcome to the Wabi Sabi podcast. This is episode number 192. Today, you’re going to hear something very few people in the world know about — insider knowledge, straight from the Prime Minister of Japan and Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. I was one of only six Japanese American journalists invited into this room in New York, where leaders, UN members, and cultural representatives gathered to discuss the future of Japan’s food and heritage. What I’m going to share with you today is not just about rice, wagyu, or green tea — it’s about identity, preservation, and the wisdom that Japan wants the world to understand. Think of this episode as your private briefing — early access to insights that matter for all of us.
