FOODEX JAPAN 2023, Asia’s largest food and beverage exhibition, was held from March 7 (Tuesday) to 10 (Friday), 2023.

The Banshu Dried Noodle Export Expansion Council also participated in this large-scale exhibition.

According to officials, the number of visitors was

The number of visitors was much higher than the previous year, with many visitors each day.

I would like to report on the first day of the event.

This is a shot of the meeting before the start of the exhibition at the Council’s booth.

This is the fourth time for the council to participate in an exhibition, and we have come to be able to conduct everything very smoothly, from advance preparations to the division of roles and operations on the day of the exhibition.

On the first day of the event, we were joined by the Banshu Sisters, Tsunagi-chan and Ran-kun!

We will do our best to promote the dried noodles that each company has developed for the overseas market!

Noodles are boiled and cooked in the cooking space next to the tasting area before being placed on the tasting table.

You can also get a good view of the noodles being boiled.

Well, the doors will be opening soon, so I went to see the entrance.

It’s a great gate!

Wow!!!
The number of people is so large that it is hard to believe.

Now then, let’s see what happens after the doors open.

At the tasting area, products from each company are cooked every 30 minutes.

We prepare and serve a lot of products, but they are gone in an instant.

Tsunagi-chan Ran-kun cosplay is still very popular among people overseas.

However, it is still not well known, so the Banshu Sisters must become more famous.

The first day ended in a blink of an eye, with many people stopping by our booth incessantly from day one.

Everyone prepares pamphlets and paper bags to be distributed on the second day and leaves the venue ready for tomorrow.

I went outside and saw a beautiful sunset….

I’ll do my best tomorrow!
