In FY 2020 and 2021, the training program was forced to be held online due to the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, it was carried out in a physical setting at renowned Japanese restaurants in Kyoto, inviting 12 participants selected after the online training. On Friday, February 10th, the whole process of the training course completed following the presentation session by the trainees (foreign-national chefs) on their reports, the closing event, and the ceremony to award the bronze certificate under the "Certification of Cooking Skills for Japanese Cuisine in Foreign Countries" program.
Some of the participants' comments are as follows: "The training program allowed me to learn, through practical experiences at a real restaurant, about the Japanese cuisine's knowledge and rules, which were formerly only accessible via a book or a website." "After returning to my home country, I would like to make use of my experience in the training to serve more authentic Japanese cuisine and actively use Japanese ingredients at my own restaurant."
