VANCOUVER, B.C. – Japanese cuisine has undeniably secured its place as one of the fastest-growing culinary segments worldwide. However, the shortage of chefs trained in Japanese cuisine has created a significant gap in meeting the escalating demand. In response, the Master of Japanese Cuisine Academy (MJCA) was established in 2018 in Europe, aiming to address this shortage by providing high-quality educational programs on Japanese cuisine globally.
“Today, we are delighted to announce a groundbreaking partnership between MJCA and Rouxbe, a leader in online culinary education,” said Gary Apito, Chief Executive Officer at Rouxbe. “This collaboration is the Sushi Foundations course, a meticulous exploration of the art of sushi-making. Designed to bridge the gap between demand and training opportunities, this course offers students detailed step-by-step instructions and precise feedback, ensuring mastery of fundamental sushi skills.”
MJCA’s decision to leverage Rouxbe’s well-established online platform is driven by a shared commitment to providing top-tier culinary education. Rouxbe’s proven expertise in online learning, combined with MJCA’s dedication to Japanese culinary traditions, will empower students globally to acquire essential skills and insights into Japanese cuisine.
“This partnership is a milestone for both institutions. It not only strengthens our commitment to addressing the shortage of trained chefs in Japanese cuisine but also reflects our shared passion for culinary education,” said Kazumi Wickencamp, Founder of MJCA. “Together with Rouxbe, we are excited to empower aspiring chefs and enthusiasts with the knowledge and skills to meet the growing demand for authentic Japanese culinary experiences.”
The Sushi Foundations course aims to make high-quality Japanese culinary education more accessible worldwide, nurturing a new generation of chefs who will contribute to the global popularity of Japanese cuisine.
