  • Gamma-Ray Radiation Measurement Results of 328 Items in January
    Radiation Measurement Results of 328 Items in January 2012 ※The analytical software we used for radioactivity measurement between November 2011 and March 2013 was older than the one we use currently, therefore, the both values for measured results and minimum limit of detection during this period may differ comparing the present measured values. Please refer those values as an indication for radiation dose at the time of the Daiichi Fukushima nuclear accident. When samples include natural radionuclides we can't deny the possibility of their radiation value counted together in our results.

  • Bento Culture
    As part of the launch of Japan Information & Culture Center (JICC), Embassy of Japan's JICC Gourmet, we will be offering a JICC Gourmet limited newsletter series. We hope that this educational newsletter series can help you learn more about various intriguing and lesser known elements of Japanese food culture. Want to view this newsletter with larger text? Try using the CTRL + or Command + keys combos. JICC Gourmet Newsletter #1: Bento Culture This month as part of our JICC Gourmet launch, you may have had the chance to watch our film screening "Bento Harassment," or perhaps you participated in or viewed our bento contest entries. Did the imagery of bento make you hungry to learn more? In this newsletter we will elaborate on how the bento came to be an integral part of Japanese society and what exactly makes a bento a bento! We hope you will join us in reading more about bento culture in Japan in our first JICC Gourmet newsletter. What is a bento and why is it important? Bento （弁当 べんとう), or Japanese lunch boxes, consist of a portable lunch box with a variety of dishes arranged in a visually appealing manner. In Japan, bento is viewed as an art form that many Japanese people aim to perfect. While many are familiar with the concept of bento due to its recent global fame, it might come as a surprise the importance they play in Japanese people’s lives as well as in the history of Japan. Since the visual appearance of a meal is just as important as the taste in Japanese cuisine, bento allow even the busiest Japanese person to enjoy a visually pleasing and delicious meal on the go.
