Yuri Nomura of restaurant eatrip, Yukari Iki of the little shop of flowers, and two people who walked side by side on the same site in front of Meiji Jingumae in Tokyo traveled in search of unseen Japan. An album-like document book of cooking and flower arrangement.
Yuri Nomura is a chef who works beyond the boundaries of a chef, such as serializing a magazine and acting as a radio personality while presiding over the food creative team .
Yukari Iki, who has a unique career as a flower shop after working in the press industry, handles flowers in various places centered on the atelier and store .
This book has been a business partner for 10 years, and is currently a house surrounded by dense trees in Harajuku, Tokyo, by two people who run a restaurant and a flower shop in the garden. This is my first book.
Travel has always inflated the sensibilities of the two. What kind of deliciousness and beauty do you find in the things that open your sensibilities in a strange land? In this book, the two visited Kanazawa, Nemuro, Kamakura, Karuizawa, four lands and four seasons. Through interaction with people who know the area deeply in each place, we made the encounter with plants and ingredients unique to the area through cooking and flower decoration. It consists of photographs documenting the process, essays on cooking and flower arrangements, and simple recipes for cooking. This is also a document that follows the live performances of the two people, and summarizes what they have seen and felt about each other as they face each other's things that disappear quickly, such as cooking and flowers. Also, it is a unique book like an album, like a photo book.
