Couple weeks ago, I found an interesting course conducted by the Japan Foodstyling Culture Association run by Junko Sensei, who has vast knowledge and experience about the Japanese food culture and tradition. She feels responsible to pass on her knowledge to the future so it will not be forgotten. It is true that nowadays, most of the Japanese people are not aware of some of the tradition and history behind our food culture. So I decided to join one of her Entry Classes.
The seminar focused on the history of the tableware and its origins dating back to the Nara Period (8th Century) and how it evolved to the present form. It was interesting to experience the Ozen (individual tables) which were used instead of the conventional tables until recently (20th century). She holds classes for foreigners to teach Food Styling and Food culture if anyone is eager to learn (website in Japanese only at the moment)

Honestly, I love different country’s foods except from Japan but I met this block mate I have and she is a half Japanese. She always does Japanese cuisines and my taste become so different. I started to love their cuisines and I am planning to enroll myself now in cooking classes which helps me improve my cooking skills. This Japanese food culture seminar is a big help to gain more knowledge about their foods and the advantages and disadvantages of every food they have. I am looking forward for more of this. Thank you!
