                  A Japanese Food  Seminar was held at the Moderne Culinaire Academy in Taguig City in Metro  Manila on February 23, 2016, hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry  and Fisheries in Japan.  Fifty-six  persons composed of chefs and students from cooking schools, joined the seminar and received training on Japanese  cuisine known as “Washoku”. The training included presentations with pictures  and technical open forum.   
                   
                    Recently, Wagyu is  becoming very popular, but parts of Wagyu imported from Japan are mostly  Sirloin and Ribloin for steak dishes. Other Wagyu parts were in excess and only  the prices of Sirloin and Ribloin parts have become dramatically expensive  because of their shortage. During the training, the traits of different parts  of Wagyu were explained, and  cooking  each Wagyu part was demonstrated.  The  objective of this seminar was to spread Washoku and to teach the participants  on Washoku and arrangement of dishes using Japanese ingredients. 
                    
                  Another Japanese Food Forum similar to this seminar  will be held on March 9, 2016 at the Moderne Culinaire Academy in Taguig City  in Metro Manila.  If you are interested  to join this Forum, please contact with Mr. IDO from ICNet (ido.masaharu@icnet.co.jp). Though these Seminar and Forum, we look forward to having a deeper  understanding of the Japanese culture and strengthening the friendship between  Japan and the Philippines.
