Japan Marks November as Washoku Month With Dashi Features, Symposium and School Classes
Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has announced that November is Washoku Month, centered on Washoku Day on November 24. The ministry is promoting traditional Japanese food so younger generations keep learning and eating it. Activities include a web magazine series on dashi, a health and food culture symposium on November 27, and school classes in Tokyo.
What does it mean?
November is now a month dedicated to Japanese home cooking, so there will be more events and activities about it. If you live in Japan, you can look up local dishes from your home area and try them.
Who is affected?
People interested in Japanese food culture, schoolchildren in Tokyo taking part in the classes, and people who want to explore regional cooking.
