Hungry to learn more about Japan?

A TASTE OF CULTURE culinary arts program combines spicy tidbits of food lore with practical tips and skill-building lessons on how to prepare Japanese food. Programs are conducted in Japan (Tokyo & Osaka) and offer a unique opportunity for foreign residents and visitors from overseas to explore and enjoy Japan's culture through its food. Instruction, by Elizabeth Andoh, is in English. Current offerings are posted to the CALENDAR page.

In all the programs A Taste of Culture offers, the goal is to empower participants in the ways of the Japanese kitchen, providing them with basic skills and knowledge regarding traditional/classical cooking methods, equipment, ingredients, menu planning and food presentation. By focusing on essential foodstuffs and procedures, program participants can recreate authentic Japanese cuisine for themselves, no matter where in the world they may be.

A TASTE OF CULTURE publishes an electronic newsletter about 6 times a year with short essay-stories that focus on some aspect of Japan's food culture. Typically, newsletters include links to photo-illustrated recipes stored on Elizabeth's other sites, WASHOKUcooking, KANSHAcooking and KIBOcooking. Recipes can be downloaded and printed out, making it easy to take into your own kitchen when you cook.

A Taste of Culture's newsletters are free-of-charge, though permission-based. We NEVER SHARE our list with third parties. However, on occasion, announcements related to Elizabeth Andoh's activities (publications, programs and events at A Taste of Culture and in the USA) are sent to those on our newsletter list.
