It’s the second day of FOODEX JAPAN 2023.

The Banshu Sisters, Mashiro and Iwai-chan, have joined us.

See!

What do you think?

One more!

One more more!

How many pictures do you guys take before you get to the booth.

Now let’s go to the BNEA. booth.

The meeting time is 9:30am.

So, on the second day, Mashiro-chan and Iwai-chan will be participating in the event.

This is the only day that all four of the Banshu Sisters will be together.

After the meeting, the second day started.

An announcement was made to announce the opening of the event.

Now then, let’s see how Banshu Sisters can attract customers.

On the display above the booth, a talk video between member companies and the Vtuberized Banshu Sisters is playing.

The combination of a traditional, long-established company and the newest Vtuber is a bit of a gap moe, or shock to the viewers of the video.

This is a captured image of a wai-wai talk video between Ibonoito and Banshu Sisters.

The Vtuber was a hit with people from overseas.

On the second day, business negotiations are still active in the booth at the business meeting corner. (I didn’t take many pictures because of the crowd.)

Business meetings are also conducted in online format.

Behind the screen are overseas buyers.

Sometimes business negotiations are concluded at this point, and it is a very exciting time for us.

Overseas buyers are looking for Japanese products, so if they think they can get a deal, they tend to proceed with it aggressively. If you think you are a good candidate, they will be more willing to do business with you.

Of course, if the deal is not finalized on this occasion, we will continue to provide quotations and proposals.

We also photograph product appeals on site, and trade shows are a great place to showcase our products.

And one of the important missions of this year’s event.

We are going to fill the venue with the paper bags of the BNEA.

In other words, to fill the venue with paper bags of the BNEA.

Inside these are pamphlets and other information from the Association and each company.

We prepared many of these again this year to hand out to those who tasted the dried noodles and those who were interested in Banshu dried noodles.

The management’s plan to greatly increase the percentage of recipients by simply having the Banshu Sisters smile at them was a great success.

The distributed BNEA paper bags are spread around inside and outside the venue.

This is the paper bag billboard effect!

The number of visitors on the second day was 21,042.

It was also a hit that we had all four Banshu Sisters on the day with the highest number of visitors of the four days!
