Naoko Nishikawa-Anagnostou, a Japanese food writer living in Greece for nearly 30 years, has dedicated herself to promoting Greek cuisine in Japan through her food blog and three cookbooks. She highlights the shared values of both cuisines, such as the emphasis on seasonal ingredients and simple preparation. Nishikawa-Anagnostou recommends wild greens, pies, and goat meat as essential introductions to Greek food for Japanese audiences. She recently discovered vlita, a wild green, during a visit to her family's garden in Kyoto and plans to write a book focused on Greek pies, especially hortopita.
