You Must Follow This Japanese Foodie Today!

Japan is a land of culinary tradition and excellence. Even if you never get a chance to travel to the Land of the Rising Sun personally, we’re fortunate enough to live in the Information Age, in which everything is just a click away.

So, if you can’t fit a trip to Tokyo into your schedule, don’t despair! Instead, just give Masaki Higuchi a follow on his Instagram as soon as you can.

Higuchi’s Instagram is an eclectic blend of traditional Japanese fare, Western-inspired dishes, and quirky photos of his adorable British Short Hair cat.

Minimalist and clean, simple food photography is Higuchi’s aesthetic, and it works so well. In a way, it’s also the perfect representation of Japan’s culinary tradition. It isn’t too fancy, but its components are top quality and the end product is unforgettably good.

Higuchi’s also a bona fide food blogger who posts recipes (and more adorable cat pictures) on his personal blog. You can learn how to make some of the fantastic dishes that he makes on his blog.

Give him a follow today. You definitely won’t regret it!
