Outline of Final Research Achievements

We tried to resolve the meaning of the concept of gastronomy by analyzing the results which were done by survey research.As a result, we could find that gastronomy of the day is composed of three basic elements; “the art of good eating” that means a selection of ingredients and a way of cooking, “the studies of delicious food” which means the whole knowledge regarding the delicious food by systematized in the interdisciplinary field, “the good flavor field” which indicates the place concerning the delicious food in which should be involved an impelling force to seek the delicious food both in regions and home.
As mentioned above, that is the good flavor field which is a new concept, and should be developed or succeeded in regions. We define it as a resource of society that can make region and culture richer. On the development of food tourism, we could reach the conclusion that it is very important to establish gastronomy in our own region and create the gastronomic experiences.
