Hello everyone, this is Maho from Vivid Creations!
First of all, let me ask you some questions all of a sudden…
– Are you currently working at a Japaneses Restaurant as a chef?
– Are you interested in Japanese cuisine and do you want to learn it more technically?
– Are you reading this blog because its title clicked in your mind?
If your answer is YES, I have a very important announcement for you!!
If you’re interested in the certification, check the details below and be ready to participate in the event!
Acquire the Bronze Medal and be certified as a Japanese Cuisine Chef!!
Despite the increased numbers of Japanese restaurants due to the global boom for Japanese cuisine, some chefs do not have the opportunity to undergo authentic training, and therefore lack basic knowledge.
In an effort to improve the situation and cultivate proper skills and knowledge of authentic Japanese cuisine, guidelines for the ”Certification of Cooking Skills for Cuisine in Foreign Countries” was established by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Japan (MAFF) in April 2016.
Bronze Certification Course will provide participants with a good understanding of basic know-how and also assess participants based on their knowledge and practical skills.
By completing the course and clearing the requirements to acquire the certification, participants will be awarded the Bronze Medal.
In Nov 2018, the two-day Bronze certification course organised by the Association Advancement of Japanese Culinary Art (AAJ), and Vivid Creations, will be held for the first time in Singapore.
Michelin-starred chef Hidehito Uchiyama, owner and head chef of Ginza Uchiyama, will be gracing the event and heading the demonstration session.
