Demonstration of Japan’s traditional culinary ritual Houchoshiki

On October 5th, 2023, ULIS-VNU welcomed a group of traditional Japanese culinary ritual performance. The event drew the attention not only of teachers and students of the Faculty of Japanese Language and Culture but also of many students in the school.

The culinary ritual is called Houchoshiki, a form of slaughtering and filleting fish without touching it.

At the end of the ceremony, Vice President Hoa Ngoc Son presented flowers and gifts as a sincere thank you to the Japanese artists who took the time to perform at ULIS.

ULIS hopes that the ceremony will contribute to deepening mutual cultural understanding between Japan and Vietnam.
