Mr. Ono Masuo – Consul General of Japan in HCMC at Taste of Japan
Over the past five decades, Vietnam and Japan have developed diplomatic relations and continued to expand in all fields, including cuisine. The culinary essence of this cherry blossom country has long won the hearts of Vietnamese consumers, emphasizing the minimal use of spices to highlight the freshest, purest ingredients, as well as sophisticated cooking techniques that bring high nutritional value.
The Japan Food Export Platform was therefore organized to bring Japan’s characteristic products closer to the Vietnamese people. This forum is chaired by the Japanese Embassy and JETRO, with the aim of supporting businesses to update information on international markets and organize related promotional activities.
Various Japanese food has special discounts at MM Mega Market
The Taste of Japan 2024 is one of the key activities within the framework of the JFEP. Accordingly, from June 27 to July 10, MM Mega Market will offer various discounts of up to 40% on food products imported directly from Japan.
