In each episode, Chef Matsuhisa will travel with another world-renowned chef, visiting the lesser known regions of Japan to witness the faces of Japanese life not typically seen in the popular cities such as Tokyo and Kyoto. The chefs will experience the lifestyle of the locals as they coexist with the seas, mountains and rivers, encounter food ingredients of the highest quality and discover a rich and unique culinary heritage. As the chefs journey together and come across a reality of Japan that they were previously not aware of, what will they think and feel and how will they be inspired? This program will document not just the travels of the chefs but also their emotions and reactions to what they uncover. Each episode will culminate with the chefs developing new dish based on the inspiration they find during their travels. The program will document that process as the chefs take ingredients they find on their journey and tap in to the inspiration they unearth to create a new dish that pushes the boundaries of culinary creation. The new dishes will be presented and served at a charity dinner, with proceeds of the charity being donated to the earthquake recovery effort.
