Recipe Suggestion by Ms. Yurico Aoki- Country / Regional culinary researcher, President, E-FOOD Inc. Curator, Recipe Museum for World’s Local Cuisine, Curator, GURUNAVI ippin “Country / Regional cuisine”, Coordinator, Kosher Japan Co.,Ltd.

Foods that are usual and common in your country may be perceived as peculiar in Japan.
In SMTS2019, we will set up a theme zone “Overseas foods to Japanese table” where we present several recipes using unfamiliar overseas food products in order to create additional demands from retailers who are willing to introduce new items. A chef makes exhibitor’s product and turns it into Japanese daily dish and serve these samples during the show.
