TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese athletes have begun a spartan, chopstick-free Chinese food training program to help them acclimatize for this year’s BeijingOlympics.
Japan’s National Training Centre will offer basic Chinese dishes such as noodles, cold spring rolls and fried catfish once a week in a dry run for the August 8-24 Games.
None of the Chinese food on offer will be diluted for Japanese taste buds, chefs even being ordered to make Japan’s staple miso soup without traditional stock, local media reported on Thursday.
In an attempt to simulate culinary conditions at the athletes’ village in Beijing, Japanese athletes will eat from paper plates using plastic knives, forks and spoons.
