Japan Food & Culture Association
About the Japan Food & Culture Association
Japan Food & Culture Association is dedicated to promoting the accurate understanding and dissemination of Japan's food culture, traditional culture, and advanced technologies across the globe. We established this association because we felt that there were too few opportunities overseas to showcase Japan’s culture and technology, and that adequate venues for such presentations were lacking. It is essential that more people become aware of Japan's valuable assets, ranging from time-honored traditions to cutting-edge technologies. We hope to create more fans of Japan and foster trade opportunities through these efforts.
Our activities focus primarily on international outreach, utilizing the knowledge and expertise of Japanese professionals to ensure that Japan’s culture and technology are accurately presented abroad and appropriately utilized in various countries. Moving forward, we will continue to take a leadership role in preserving and passing down Japan's culture and technology to future generations, while sharing their value and appeal with people around the world.
