Shizuoka Food Information Center
For chefs
Shizuoka Prefecture is blessed with a diverse climate, including Japan's tallest Mt. Fuji and Japan's deepest Suruga Bay, and produces a variety of high-quality agricultural, forestry, and fishery products. The number of agricultural, forestry and fishery products produced is one of the highest in the country, and the number of awards received by the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is consistently high, making it a treasure trove of ingredients in both quantity and quality, a ``kingdom of ingredients'' so to speak.
The Shizuoka Food Information Center provides content that conveys the appeal of Shizuoka Prefecture's food to the general public.
There is a "Food" corner that introduces shops run by workers who have been awarded as "Fujinokuni Food Capital Creator" and "The Craftsman of the Year," as well as "recipes" using Shizuoka ingredients, and Shizuoka ingredients. Please take advantage of Shizuoka Prefecture's ingredients, such as the "Know" corner that provides basic information.
Shizuoka Food Workers
The prefecture will register chefs and confectioners who are motivated to work on local activities that utilize the prefecture's diverse, high-quality agricultural, forestry, and fishery products as "Shizuoka Food Professionals." By promoting activities such as problem-solving through food, the prefecture aims to increase the attractiveness of the region and the added value of the prefecture's agricultural, forestry, and fishery products.
Craftsmen creating the Fujinokuni food capital
As part of its efforts to make Fujinokuni the "City of Food," the prefecture has awarded 22 chefs and confectioners as "Fujinokuni Food Capital Builders" from 559 to XNUMX, who actively use ingredients produced in Shizuoka Prefecture and contribute to the promotion of the prefecture's agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and food culture.
Additionally, each year, we have awarded a total of 23 people who have demonstrated particularly outstanding work as "The Worker of the Year" from fiscal 176 to fiscal XNUMX.
Furthermore, the chef who has won the "The Worker of the Year" award five times was awarded the title of "Fujinokuni Maestro Chef."
