Interesting quotes from the summit:
Junichiro Koizumi: If tourists understand Japanese food they will undertand Japanese food better.

Joel Robuchon on Japanese cuisine: nothing is wated, the wonder of umami, Japanese cuisine is delicate and meticulous, and the importance of seasonality

Pierre Gagnaire: loves Japanese seafood, in particular tairagai, and ingredients such as yuzu, sansho, shiso and shiso flowers

Many of the chefs raved Japanese ingredients including kombu, katsuobushi, seafood, yuzu, sansho, wasabi, shiso and the amazing presentation that is essential in kaiseki cuisine.
