What Is Omotenashi and Why It Makes Japanese Restaurants, Inns and More So Special

"Warm sake quickly fills your cup when it's running low. Kyogoku herself will come to the table to make sure your noodles don't get soggy in your simmering hot pot. She seems to embody the very word, omotenashi. Indeed, after traveling up and down Japan last month, she's purposefully instilled Bessou with that Japanese sensibility. Here, she details three ways to bring that omotenashi magic home, inspired by three surprising moments where she experienced it herself." - Elyse Inamine
