Find Your 'Just Right': Home Cooking That Lets You Be Free

Doi Yoshiharu promotes simple home cooking rooted in the idea of one soup and one dish in a quiet rebellion against the chaos of modern life. We step into his kitchen to be guided by some unconventional wisdom: "You don't need recipes" and "find what's just right for you." These aren't words you'd expect from a culinary expert, but they might just change the way you see your kitchen. We explore the world of home cooking that nourishes more than just the body.

Guest: Doi Yoshiharu (Culinary researcher)
