Regions.
FUJIRI explores Japan one prefecture at a time — through its ingredients, its makers, and the confections each region quietly perfected. Each pillar is an editorial guide: six places on a map, six pantry ingredients, fourteen-to-fifteen snacks in the canon, and the four centuries of history that bound them together.
Four prefectures, four guides.
