ICYMI Encore Episode of The History of Japanese Food in America

Asian American History 101

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 56! In today’s In Case You Missed It (ICYMI) Encore Episode, we revisit Season 1, Episode 62 where we discuss the history of Japanese food in America. So many Asian foods in America are expected to be cheap either in price or quality, but Japanese food is one of the few Asian cuisines that is viewed as more refined and deserving of higher prices. However, it wasn’t always that way. We took time to discuss that in this episode. One high end Japanese restaurant we mentioned was Shojin with locations in Downtown Los Angeles and Culver City. We also shared What Are We Watching and discussed the Netflix Rom-Com Love Hard starring Jimmy O. Yang. We gave our thoughts both good and bad on the Asian representation in this movie.
