Post date November 15, 2017

October 2017, Japan: All Japan Chefs Association cerebrated the 2017 International Chefs Day on 24^th October with the theme of “Foods for Healthy Heroes” together with 71 sixth grade students of Kawatana-Elementary School in Nagasaki prefecture in Kyushu Island and 20 Chefs of AJCA members include President Toshi and Vice President Kihachi Kumagai who is a very celebrity chef in Japan.

After the cooking demonstration showed by Chef Kumagai, children washed hands and started to cook 3 dishes which were Japanese Pear Soup, Powerful Tortilla Roll Sandwich and Nutritious Variety of Garden Vegetables Salad. Children with pretty apron and chef hut presented by Nesle Professional, were exciting to cook and make such delicious dishes with their team work. Finally they completed all dishes on time. Then they enjoyed their dishes at the formal table with well eating manners.

In this workshop, all chefs advised, taught and showed with their profession to the children how to use knife, frying pan and other kitchen tools safely.

It was a very exciting and fun not only for the children but also for chefs participated.

We hope to continue to hold such a precious workshop for more children as for our vital activity.

2017 International Chefs Day was great success, anyway.

Toshi Utsunomiya,

President,

AJCA.

Post author By France
Post date November 6, 2017

AJCA celebrated 40th Anniversary of the creation of the monument of Western Cuisine Birthplace in Japan on 25^th October 2017 on a large scale. Monument was built by AJCA in the Thomas Glover’s Residence Garden of Nagasaki-city in Kyushu Island in 1977. More than 100 chefs of AJCA member include President Toshi Utsunomiya, attended this ceremony.

History of western cuisine in Japan started in the middle of 16^th century that Portuguese ship came to Tanegashima-island in Kyushu region. Culture of western cuisine grew at Nagasaki-city in Kyushu region, because Nagasaki was only the place opened for foreign country under the national isolation policy at Edo-period. First western cuisine restaurant “JEUTEI” was opened in 1864 by Chef Jyokichi Kusano in Nagasaki-city.

Mr. Thomas Glover was a Scottish trader and came to Japan in the middle of 18^th century. After a big success in trading business, he built this luxurious residence in 1863 on the hill facing splendid view point of Nagasaki-city. His residence was registered as a historical world heritage site in July, 2015.
