From Edo-era cookbooks to your kitchen.
Japanese Edo Kitchen brings historic Japanese cookbooks into the modern kitchen. Discover dishes from over 200 years ago, alongside recipes from the Meiji era.
Explore by dish name, ingredient, historical period, or cookbook. Read modern Japanese interpretations and home-kitchen adaptations, then look at the original cookbook pages. Save dishes that interest you and add ingredients to a shopping list.
Original quantities and estimated modern quantities are distinguished. Home-kitchen adaptations can include estimated amounts and cooking times; read each recipe's notes and its relationship to the original. Reference illustrations are not photographs of tested results. Historical methods are not a guarantee of modern food safety. Some features, including viewing source pages and reference images, require an internet connection.
The Japanese-language app name is 歴史料理指南.
Explore Japan's historic cookbooks and recipes. Content is in Japanese.
