Kirk with something about vegan cuisine in Kumamoto. UEDA Satoru, who is from Mifune and who won First Place in the Vegetarian Chance vegan cooking competition held in Turin, Italy in 2019, returned to Kumamoto to show people just how good vegan cuisine can be when it’s done right. KKT reports that 25 or so influential Kumamotoites (KOYAMA Kundo, the guy who invented Kumamon, was one of those in attendance) were invited to tastes Chef Ueda’s creations. (For some strange reason, they forgot to invite me :( )
I heard on an RKK report that Chef Ueda will return to Italy to continue his training. So, I’m not sure when ordinary folks like us will be able to try these dishes. Still, I think it’s interesting that Kumamoto is the home of a world leader in vegan cuisine. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/3d89d65ae8764d14d1c00e0c97b53b45afcf39f1
