Among the various Italian products, pasta holds a prominent position in Japan.
However, the idea of pasta remains often associated with the classic formats of spaghetti and penne,
while the more regional types of pasta are still less known.
In this masterclass, we will discover some aspects and production peculiarities that make Italian pasta
unique and inimitable, but also the important social role that pasta often plays in many small
communities in Italy and, therefore, its link with the well-being of people and an entire society.
During the masterclass, there will be a historical excursus on how pasta has evolved over time,
culminating in a practical demonstration with the preparation of andarinos and malloreddus, two
types of traditional Sardinian pasta made with only durum wheat semolina and processed by hand.
The masterclass (in presence at ICCJ event space) is reserved for F&B operators, journalists, and
influencers.
The masterclass will be held in Japanese.
