JANICE WONG - The Kochi, Japan Prefecture Tour | Wanderspiel Presents
WANDERSPIEL tours Japan's Kochi Prefecture for a unique travel insight with JANICE WONG, celebrated pastry chef from Singapore of 2:am dessert bar fame, with her namesake 'Janice Wong Dessert Bar' present in Tokyo, Macau and Singapore.
Janice's trip objective was to be inspired - through a cultural immersion, across a multitude of facets of the Kochi Prefecture in Japan.
The Kochi Prefecture has plenty of offer - from drinking the source-to-table tea at Kunitomo Tea Plantation to understanding tradition at Paper Museum Inocho, and hand-made wooden products at Tosaryu.
Naturally, taste is imperative to Chefs.
Wanderspiel captures an array of tasting experiences, from an array of Finger Lime, to meeting the farmers and tasting the unique-to-Kochi citruses (the Naoshichi and Buntan)at the Naoshichi Farm and Shiraki Orchard Buntan Farmer.
Witnessing mornings at Sukumo Fish Market and the processes at the Takeuchi Dried Bonito Factory were other key highlights, with the tour ending at Hokiyama Cutlery, where exquisite Japanese knives are made.
One thing for sure - Janice did draw much inspiration from the majestic surroundings of Kochi, in sight, sound, smell and her tactile interaction with the immediate environment around her.

Kōchi Prefecture comprises the southwestern part of the island of Shikoku, facing the Pacific Ocean. It is bordered by Ehime to the north-west and Tokushima to the north-east. It is the largest but least populous of Shikoku's four prefectures. Most of the province is mountainous, and in only a few areas such as around Kōchi and Nakamura is there a coastal plain. Kōchi is famous for its many rivers. Inamura-yama in Tosa-cho is the highest peak in Kōchi prefecture with an altitude of 1,506 meters above sea level.
As of April 1, 2012, 7% of the total land area of the prefecture was designated as Natural Parks, namely the Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park; Ishizuchi, Muroto-Anan Kaigan, and Tsurugisan Quasi-National Parks; and eighteen Prefectural Natural Parks.[4]
