The bcゲーム 退会ulinary Academy, a nonprofit organization in Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, has been inviting professional chefs of bcゲーム 退会uisine at home and abroad to participate in the fifth Japan Culinary Art Competition (http://culinary-academy.jp/english).
The competition is aimed at spreading bcゲーム 退会ooking and gastronomical culture around the world, establishing global standards for bcゲーム 退会uisine and fostering chefs of bcゲーム 退会uisine around the globe.
The number of applicants for the competition has also been on the rise thanks to the growing popularity of bcゲーム 退会uisine, totaling 201 chefs in the fourth competition from August 2013 to February 2014.
This year's competition, to be held under the theme of "Imagination! Opening up New bcゲーム 退会uisine," features two aspects of traditional local cuisine - menu creation and cooking.
With application closing on May 31, regional qualifying rounds will be held at six locations in Japan and one in Seoul, South Korea, before the Kyoto Finals in February 2016.
Since its establishment in August 2004, the bcゲーム 退会ulinary Academy (JCA) has fostered, inherited and develop bcゲーム 退会uisine at home and abroad in a bid to promote "global understanding of bcゲーム 退会uisine" and contribute to "the next generation of Japanese food chefs." The JCA will continue to foster, inherit and develop Japanese gastronomical culture, which is recognized as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage.
A statement by Yoshihiro Murata, JCA chairman and the owner and chef of Kikunoi, a famed kaiseki restaurant.
Although bcゲーム 退会uisine is registered as an intangible cultural heritage, it is in fact in a crisis situation. As a business, bcゲーム 退会uisine is still difficult to enter and young chefs shun bcゲーム 退会uisine due to a lengthy apprenticeship. The bcゲーム 退会ulinary Academy has decided to organize the fifth bcゲーム 退会ulinary Art Competition, believing it is our important mission to foster bcゲーム 退会hefs and cooks. We strongly urge many bcゲーム 退会hefs to enter the competition.
