		<description><![CDATA[First sushi, then noodles; next sake and wagy&#363; beef: The world&#8217;s fascination with Japanese cuisine shows no sign of abating. More and more people are writing about it, too, from travel buffs and visiting cooking experts to untold legions of foodie bloggers. Rarely, though, do the books, articles and blog posts go further than the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a scenario few restaurants would dare to dream of: All tables fully booked a month ahead, all year round; lines outside an hour before opening time; a prompt turnover of satisfied customers, with as many as three rotations per evening. And a bulging bottom line. It sounds almost as unbelievable on the other side [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Soil, dirt, mud &#8230; Call it what you like, the not-so-secret special ingredient at some of Japan&#8217;s high-end restaurants has a distinctly earthy quality. And over the last couple of months, it&#8217;s been getting substantial media attention, both at home and abroad. For that, we can thank veteran chef Toshio Tanabe. He is so keen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Food production in Japan is not in great shape. For decades, rural populations have dwindled and local farmers have been undercut by imports, at both the cheap and luxury ends of the market. Current plans to open up Japan&#8217;s famously closed farming market through free-trade pacts sound like a death knell for traditional agriculture. Change [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a city the size of Tokyo, it&#8217;s all too easy to be unaware of where your food comes from. Most of what we eat is shipped in from far away, not just the extremities of the country but from all around the world. Japan&#8217;s overall food self-sufficiency rate is bad enough &#8212; a mere [...]]]></description>
