  • For the Expansion of Exports of Kansai Food and Food Culture
    For the Expansion of Exports of Kansai Food and Food Culture －To a wider world through EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai－ OTSUBO Masato Director General of Kinki Regional Agricultural Administration Office March 15, 2021 Washoku: Intangible Cultural Heritage Listed by UNESCO in 2013 Japanese dietary cultures originated in the idea of “having respect for nature” Characteristics of Washoku: Characteristics of Washoku: 1) A diverse range of fresh food 2) Healthy, nutritionally balanced diet ingredients and respect for their natural tastes Characteristics of Washoku: Characteristics of Washoku: 3) Expression of natural beauty and 4) Closely associated with New Year changing of the seasons through food celebrations and other traditional events (c) Masashi Kuma, 2006 １ Food Culture Kyoto Prefecture in Kansai Region ◆Example: Kyoto Located roughly in the center of Japan, Kyoto faces the Japan Sea in the north and is surrounded by green-rich mountains along the borders with Nara, Osaka, and Mie Prefectures in the south. With the blessings of the Kamogawa River and other mountain streams, seasons come and go, making a vivid contrast there. After the relocation of the Imperial Court to the city of Heian-kyo in 794, Kyoto was the national capital for over one thousand years and flourished as a center of Japan’s politics, culture, and religions. Kyoto cuisine was formed during this time. Dishes are prepared using cooking methods backed by traditional techniques based on “dashi” (soup stock), synthesizing the five systems of Japanese cuisine formed over the history of Kyoto (daikyo ryori, shojin ryori, honzen ryori, kaiseki ryori, obanzai); combining this with the arrangement techniques, rooted in the traditional culture to express the spirit of hospitality in the way food is dished up and served, resulted in a perfect work of art.

LA LISTE is based on an algorithm that cross-references over 550 specialised publications & food critics to calculate a annual score that sets its ranking scale. The end result is an impressive range of memorable food experiences which have been handpicked by discerning critics.

  • Press Review Background Note - December 2015
    PRESS REVIEW BACKGROUND NOTE - DECEMBER 2015 LALISTE.COM 1,000 OUTSTANDING RESTAURANTS AROUND THE WORLD LA LISTE , the leading international restaurant ranking based on data compiled from hundreds guidebooks and online review sites, lists 1,000 exceptional restaurants from around the world. The results of the 2015 edition will be revealed in Paris on 17 December and online at LALISTE.COM. PROJECT BACKGROUND Once a privilege of the elite, gastronomy is now undergoing a radical transformation. Through entertainment and images, it is entering our daily lives, while new culinary cultures are constantly emerging. Gastronomic guidebooks are getting in on the act, with hundreds now available featuring reviews of restaurants in their regions, based on a wide variety of criteria. International rankings have sprung up, which for some have kept “culinary nationalism” alive. Online, comments posted on various interactive websites (e.g. TripAdvisor, Yelp, L’Internaute) provide essential extra information, but which is sometimes disputed. Although this abundance of information is of great use to gourmets, it can also be a source of confusion or even manipulation if clear criteria are not set out. The goal of LALISTE , whose first ranking will be unveiled in Paris on 17 December, is to provide these criteria by summarizing all available information on the world’s 1,000 top restaurants. 2 BACKGROUND NOTE - DECEMBER 2015 METHODOLOGY LALISTE is designed to be an aggregator, a «best of the best» based on the ATP model for tennis, the Shanghai Ranking for universities and Rotten Tomatoes for film reviews. Its aim is not to rank gastronomic cultures or pass judgment on the quality of restaurants, but simply to compile the reviews from all existing guidebooks and online comments in order to provide a list of 1,000 exceptional restaurants around the world.
