FZWCの使命

FZWCの使命

日本を世界へ
伝統と最新トレンドを融合させ日本の食文化を世界に発信する

As passionate artisans of washoku, we are dedicated to studying Japan's rich traditional food culture. While embodying the fusion of modern culinary trends with time-honored traditions in our restaurant business, we make earnest efforts to pass down these traditional culinary techniques to future generations through our NPO activities in Japan.

Our journey has been marked by a wealth of experience and a track record of success in our restaurant ventures. Yet, our exploration led us to a question: How can we better serve the global community? After extensive travel around the world, we found our answer in the realm of culinary education. This inspiration led us to establish Frontier Zipang Washoku Class, or FZWC, where we passionately share the heart of Japanese cuisine with the world.

The food industry is evolving rapidly, prompting us to reevaluate the traditional food culture that the Japanese have cherished for many years. To stay ahead of these changes, we are shifting our focus to the international stage, where we aim to offer fresh culinary experiences to those deeply interested in Japan's food culture. Our goal is to provide them with an exceptionally memorable and unforgettable experience.

Our Culinary Heritage

Our team consists of members with decades of experience in the restaurant industry, primarily in Tokyo. They have joined forces to open their own restaurants, each specializing in a unique genre. PrimeTime21.JAPAN plays a pivotal role in overseeing the operation and management of these restaurants. Within these authentic settings, Frontier Zipang Washoku Class conducts culinary lessons, guided by our team of professional chefs.

横浜

横浜

横浜は日本が鎖国から開国へと向かう第一歩を踏み出した歴史ある港町です。日本の国際化は横浜からはじまりました。1854(安政元)年に日本の開国を約した日米和親条約が締結されたまさにその場所には現在、横浜開港資料館が建設されています。

「横浜中華街」や「赤レンガ倉庫」など異国情緒漂う建築物や街並み、日本の文化遺産である「三渓園」など歴史を感じる旧いものを残しながら、「ランドマークタワー」などの現代らしさも併せ持つ横浜は世界中の人々を惹き付け、毎年多くの外国人観光客が訪れる人気の観光エリアとなっています。

東京、羽田から電車でわずか30分と交通の便も良く、それでいて東京とは全く違った雰囲気を味うことができるのも魅力の一つです。

日本の伝統や文化、「和食」を世界に継承するというFZWCの取り組みにおいて、横浜はまさに理想の地と言えます。今では「すき焼き」として世界でも有名となっている牛鍋は、文明開化の明治時代に日本と西洋の食文化を融合させて誕生した横浜発祥の料理です。

東京

東京

日本の首都。かつては「江戸」と呼ばれた場所です。

アメリカのシンクタンクが発表した2020年の世界都市ランキング(GCI 2020)では、ニューヨーク、ロンドン、パリに次ぐ世界4位の都市と評価されました。

東京スカイツリーなどを筆頭に現代的なイメージが強い東京ですが、浅草の浅草寺や明治神宮、新宿御苑や根津神社の「千本鳥居」など日本の歴史や日本らしい風景も堪能できます。

また、近年では日本文化の代表とも言えるアニメやマンガなどのサブカルチャーの聖地として世界的に有名な秋葉原も忘れてはいけません。

このように多種多様な観点から日本を楽しめる場所、それが東京です。
