Nobu's Japan is a television series that celebrates the culinary arts as well as the culture of Japanese locales. Created by world-renowned chef Nobuyuki ““Nobu““ Matsuhisa, this is a series that shares more with its audience than just recipes. In each episode, Chef Nobu explores the culture and history of a Japanese region. Each episode also features famous chefs from around the world, including José Andrés, Thomas Keller, and Eric Ripert. In each episode, Chef Matsuhisa will travel with another world-renowned chef, visiting the lesser known regions of Japan to witness the faces of Japanese life not typically seen in the popular cities such as Tokyo and Kyoto. The chefs will experience the lifestyle of the locals as they coexist with the seas, mountains and rivers, encounter food ingredients of the highest quality and discover a rich and unique culinary heritage.

Adapted from Eduard von Keyserling’s 1911 novel of the same title, Waves depicts both the lives and loves of an aristocratic German family during a summer holiday on the Baltic coast of what is now Lithuania, as well as the twilight of a social order and its mores in a world soon to be plunged into the cataclysm of world war.

Waves is inspired by a short novel of Robert Louis Stevenson, The Ebb-tide, written and published in 1894, the year of his untimely death (Stevenson was 44 years old).
