Sep 21, 2022





   

JETRO will hold a "Virtual Tour of Japanese food production sites in Oct. and Nov.

Don't miss this chance to discover the attractiveness of Japanese food.

 

1.What is JETRO Virtual Tour?

 

This program is designed to introduce the attractiveness of the Japanese foods to overseas buyers. Using an online conferencing

tool (ZOOM), participants can virtually visit a variety of sites, from farms and processing plants to markets and restaurants, and learn

how Japanese food products are produced in Japanese regions. In the Q&A session, you can talk directly with producers and manufacturers. It is a good opportunity to learn about the stories and culture behind the products and the process of making each product. Please join these wonderful tours to open the door to the new world of Japanese foods!

 

* Each tour will take 1 or 1.5 hour long and you can visit one or two companies/organizations.

* Since it is a live-streamed tour, you can ask them questions on the spot.

* Japanese/English consecutive interpretation will be available.

* No participation fee!
