EAT + LEARN: Japanese Cuisine

 

The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam, in cooperation with the Embassy of Japan and Japanese restaurant “Kyy”, share the delight of introducing the variety of Japanese cuisine through lectures and demonstrations to Vietnamese fellow friends in Hanoi on Thursday 17 November 2011.

 

Japanese cuisine has been widely accepted throughout Vietnam, and a diverse range of people loves to eat it. Such words as “Sushi”, “Sashimi” and “Tempura” are well known even among those who have never studied Japanese language before.

 

But what is Sushi, what is Tempura indeed? Do you really understand the features of each food? Can you cook them?

 

If your answer is “No”, here is a good opportunity for you to change your answer into “Yes”.

 

From “Sushi” to “Tempura,” the Japanese specialists will give lectures on the history of each food, as well as demonstrations of cooking them, and finally, you will enjoy eating the foods with us.

 

We do hope your understanding on Japanese cuisine as a part of Japanese culture will be enhanced and deepened with the served delicious foods.

 

The lectures and demonstrations will be conducted in Japanese with Vietnamese interpretations from 6pm on Thursday 17 November, in Marlion room (2nd floor) at Fortuna Hotel (6B Lang Ha, Ba Dinh, Hanoi). Free admission but pre-registration is required.
