What is the Ark of Taste?

The Ark of Taste is the world’s largest catalog of cultural and traditional biodiversity related to food and agriculture.

We have identified thousands of plant varieties, animal breeds and traditional food products (including breads, cheeses, cured meats and sweets), highlighting the risk of their disappearance, saving them from extinction, and educating institutions and consumers about the need to protect them.

The following are Ryukyu Arc foods that have been registered on the Ark of Taste as of October 2023.
