Trails to Tsukiji
"Trails to Tsukiji" is a show that focuses on Japanese food available at Tokyo's iconic Tsukiji Market where every kind of fresh food is gathered from around the country.


Gobo, or burdock root, may look like a piece of wood, but it has been treasured in Japan for centuries. With a dense, rich aroma similar to truffles, gobo can be used in a large variety of dishes. Rich in dietary fiber, it is also said to improve health and appearance. We visit a gobo farm, a wholesaler, and a chef who uses gobo in his inventive recipes in order to discover the secret behind this strange-looking but delicious root.
