Have you read this article as below, that was on the newspaper in the very beginning of this year.
Japanese cuisine gets UNESCO heritage status / Telegraph
Japan will become only the second nation after France to have its national cuisine designated heritage status.
The decision to protect Japan's traditional cuisine, known as "washoku", was made against a backdrop of rising concerns that fast food and western dishes are increasingly eclipsing the nation's culinary heritage. With its emphasis on harmony and the passing of the seasons, the art of washoku has been compared to writing haiku poems and normally consists of separate bowls of white rice, miso soup and pickles alongside main dishes. Other characteristics that have traditionally defined washoku include minimal meat, plenty of seafood and often the use of a fish stock base known as dash. Its new status was confirmed exactly 1,000 days after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami triggered the on-going Fukushima nuclear crisis, shattering global confidence in the safety of the nation's previously respected food industry.
This news is so fantastic for me as a Japanese person. My cooking career is more than 20 years since I started to cook the meals for my family using the special ingredients suited my daughter. She had a allergy to the daily products, cheese, milk etc., but luckily not to the soya products. No additive products neither, of course!! I cooked every meals from scratch.
My cooking techniques had been developed spontaneously.
I had a a chance to open my Japanese food shop when we lived in Luxembourg. My daughter was just born! So I could learn how to run the Japanese food shop. Very good experience, wasn't it? Actually my parents run a small convenience shop in a small village in Japan. Some times I helped them. It helped me to establish my base career. In both the management and cooking field.
After we came back to England, I didn't have a chance to do the same sort of business. Instead, I gain the diplomas of the therapies. It sound like totally the different area, but for me, it's nothing different at all. Therapy would help to make the high quality life and Japanese food is one of the healthiest foods in the world.
Last year, I helped to establish a Japanese restaurant in Bristol. I had worked for the owner, mainly to offer some ideas of the menu, culture club and many more.
There're, I think, five or six Japanese restaurants in Bristol area, but none of then are not a standard at all, unfortunately. The restaurant that I helped is better than others.
So I really want to have a very nice proper Japanese restaurant here, not only here but anywhere, if anybody need me to advice to establish the cafe or restaurant or even in the home cooking, Just call me loudly. I would come to you! E-mail me or Skype me!!!
My business card is here!
