Globetrotting chef José Andrés files this travelogue for National Geographic, chronicling a recent trip to Japan. Andrés writes that the visit served as inspiration for his upcoming DC concept China Chilcano, and "I was amazed at how similar Japanese cooking is to my native Spain's." He also reveals that the trip was an invitation by chef Nobu Matsuhisa "to film a television show with him," though it's unclear if it's a show that will air in the U.S. [The Plate]
