160th anniversary of cooperation between Japan and Switzerland - Tastings of Wagyu and Hokkaido scallops

To commemorate the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Switzerland, JETRO Geneva and the Embassy of Japan in Switzerland co-organized Wagyu and Hokkaido scallop tastings in major GLOBUS stores across Switzerland. 

During the month of February, JETRO Geneva and the Embassy of Japan in Switzerland organized a collaborative event with GLOBUS stores in Switzerland to celebrate the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Japan. As part of this celebration, GLOBUS stores in Bern, Zurich, Lausanne, and Geneva offered tastings of Wagyu beef and Hokkaido scallops on various dates and times, providing an opportunity for people to enjoy these Japanese delicacies and learn more about their unique flavors. Additionally, a variety of other Japanese snacks, drinks, and cooking ingredients were displayed. This event aimed to commemorate the long-standing diplomatic ties between Japan and Switzerland and promote cultural exchange through the appreciation of food. 

 

We hope you had the chance to attend the tasting events and to enjoy these Japanese specialties!
