Island Kitchen - Island Kitchen

Japanese: アイランド・キッチン - あいらんどきっちん
Island Kitchen - Island Kitchen

...DK means a combination of dining room and kitchen (in English it is called kitchen-dining-room), but in the case of public housing, it is only about 8 m2, and was intended to save space, and there was a time when a table was installed and Western-style use was forced. Although LDK, which combines the functions of a living room with DK, has appeared, the trend recently has been to have a separate kitchen or to actively incorporate an island kitchen in the center of the living room.
[Western kitchens]
The kitchen is closely related to eating habits, which vary by region and era, but even in Europe, most meals are eaten in the kitchen.
