This poster, created by food blogger Fanny Chiu, features local food from 42 different cities across Japan. Each dish comes with its Japanese name and a description of the food in English. Additionally, each item gets its own artistic depiction.

While there are several foods you’d probably recognize, like takoyaki and gyoza, there’s quite a few dishes that you may have never heard of before. Examples include Sakura No Hanazuke, or pickled cherry blossom leaves, from Odawara. Another example is Minoo’s Mojimi no Tempura, or deep-fried maple leaves.
