Law, Territories, Terroirs & Gastronomy in France and Japan
With the support and participation of the Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie in Val de Loire, and in partnership with the IEHCA.
This symposium, organised in close partnership with the IEHCA (European Institute for the History and Cultures of Food) and leading Japanese experts in gastronomy and sake, will give focus on a comparative approach to the relationship between law, territory, gastronomy, as well as wine law (vines and appelations) and sake in Japan.
This multidisciplinary event focuses on the valorisation of land and terroirs in France and Japan, in collaboration with the City of Tours, one of the four cities awarded the label of International City of Gastronomy. It is the fist Franco-Japanese symposium devoted to a comparative approach to gastronomy and viticulture from the perspective of law, geography, and the history of food, wine, and sake. The scientific event will feature renowned experts from both countries, as well as sommeliers and chefs from France and Japan.
