A New Japanese Touch at Le Piment Rouge

When we asked Mr. Seike if he likes Turkish food, he laughed and said, "Turkish food is very delicious. My family and I have gained weight since coming to Turkey. My wife has a Turkish recipe book, and we cook Turkish food every day at home." He added that he only tastes the food in the restaurant, so he has room to eat Turkish food afterwards.

We also asked Mr. Seike whether cooking Japanese food was difficult. "Japanese cuisine doesn't resemble any other cuisine," he answered. "It is very different and difficult to prepare. On the other hand, Chinese dishes are more like European cuisine. Japanese meals need great attention to detail. To the students, it looks hard at first, but they soon get used to it."

Every day, THM and THS Department students from different sections cook from8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., and the restaurant serves between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. Le Piment Rouge offers a different menu each week. If you want to enjoy lunch at there, you should make a reservation, because students prepare their special menus for only 20 to 30 people per day, during the noon hours.

Mr. Seike said that he thinks Turkish people don't know Japanese culture very well. However, the Japanese meals at Le Piment Rouge will give them a chance to learn more. And, he added, "Those who can't come to the restaurant are very welcome to visit me during my office hours to talk."

We hope you will have a chance to meet Mr. Seike at the Le Piment Rouge Restaurant and enjoy the Japanese cuisine served there.
