Message from the Dietary Education Support Office
For this dietary education support project, we have prepared two programs: "The Secrets of Preserved Foods" and "Let's Take a Peek in the Refrigerator." (the latter is currently not on offer).
We hope that many children will deepen their interest in food.
We hope that they enjoy food without wasting any.
These programs were created with such desires in mind. We invite you to make use of them in your school classes.
