Cooking Show In Japan Awarded Guinness World Record

POSTED ON October 6, 2023 •   World      BY Segun Adewole •   VIEWS 94
In a momentous recognition of culinary tradition, Japan's NHK broadcaster proudly announced that their iconic cooking show, "Kyo no Ryori" or "Today's Cooking," has achieved the Guinness World Record for the longest-running culinary program. This venerable cooking show has been a staple in Japanese households for an astonishing 65 years, since its inception in 1957. Throughout its extensive run, "Kyo no Ryori" has featured a staggering 46,600 recipes, artfully reflecting the ever-evolving tapestry of Japanese society, from periods of economic turmoil to pivotal milestones in women's empowerment. At a prestigious ceremony held in Tokyo, a Guinness certificate was presented to commemorate this remarkable achievement. Chief producer Mayumi Yanai, speaking before reporters, expressed the program's enduring commitment to addressing the quintessential question that crosses every household's mind, "What should I cook for dinner tonight?" Yanai emphasized the show's sincere dedication to its family audience, aiming to provide practical culinary solutions. Over its lengthy history, "Kyo no Ryori" has adapted to mirror the changing landscape of Japan, encapsulating shifts such as a declining population and evolving family structures. The show's inception in 1957 was marked by the introduction of Western-style curry with oysters, reflecting a time when one in four Japanese people grappled with malnourishment. Remarkably, it began by offering recipes suitable for five people, before adapting to the standard of a family of four, and eventually, meals tailored for two. This Guinness World Record solidifies "Kyo no Ryori's" status as an enduring cultural touchstone in Japan, and its unwavering commitment to providing culinary inspiration to generations of viewers remains as strong as ever.
