Hi, My name is Kazumi and I have an offer of high-level Japanese cuisine online course options for the top-level culinary schools. Although I am aware that your school's focus is French cuisine, Japanese food is getting more and more popular in the culinary world. So, I strongly believe that having exposure to the foundation of Japanese cuisine during students will definitely have a positive impact on the future culinary career of the students. So, it would be great if I can get connected to someone who is in charge of culinary programs and discuss further.
