Session 1 Panel Discussion
Bringing Local Food Culture to the World

In Japan, there are food ingredients and traditional food culture unique to each region, built on a diversity of climates and landscapes. However, while recent advances in food production and processing have brought material abundance to the country, the trend toward Westernization and simplification, especially among the younger generation, has made the inheritance of food culture an urgent issue. Under these circumstances in Japan, interest in Japanese foodstuffs is rapidly growing overseas for reasons such as good taste, health consciousness, and a sense of luxury. In this session, Mr. Takemura, chairman of the Kochi Sake Brewers Association, which produces uniquely Japanese sake, will join food business professionals and a start-up company involved in overseas expansion of the food industry to discuss the creation of unique Japanese products and the development of sales channels with a global perspective.
