The Food Vessel Story series documents visits to studios and creators who make vessels, as well as restaurant owners with a deep commitment to vessels. We hope that while everyone focuses on ingredients, hones their cooking skills, and savors delicious cuisine, they will also pay attention to vessels, discover vessels, and explore the world and stories of food vessels together.
