The
6-month Japanese Cuisine Diploma program is divided into four levels --
initiation, basic, intermediate and superior -- and offers the
techniques and knowledge of rich culinary culture through practical
classes, cultural experience activities, and industry visits.
Testimonials of former graduates who studied the Japanese cuisine and
food culture human resource development program were introduced at the
event as well. "In London, more and more people understand not only
Japanese food and 'Kaiseki' but also philosophy and the dining
experience, so I will bring back what I learn here...," said Junhua Ni,
who also obtained the French culinary diploma at Le Cordon Bleu Tokyo
and Paris.
Prior to tasting Japanese cuisine dishes, chef
Kiyoaki Deki, Technical Director of Japanese Cuisine, demonstrated knife
skills and other cooking techniques in front of the assembly. The
institute's history was presented by Gilles Company, Executive Chef at
Le Cordon Bleu Japan, along with an introduction to the Japanese cuisine
diploma, including the world-class chef instructors and lecturers of
the program.

first international culinary institute in Japan to be accredited by TOW
Co. Ltd., the application/management body, to issue the "Certification
of Cooking Skills for Japanese Cuisine in Foreign Countries," official
guidelines established by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries.

countries, Le Cordon Bleu's mission is to teach a whole range of
