An event to promote Japanese seafood and other food products has been held in Brazil. Japan is keen to export to the country, which is home to the largest overseas community of people of Japanese descent, amid China’s suspension of seafood imports from Japan.
The event was held by Japan’s agriculture ministry in collaboration with other groups in Sao Paulo on Wednesday. The items showcased included Japanese marine products and sake.
Japan’s Agriculture Minister Sakamoto Tetsushi and participants from Brazil tasted dishes featuring Japanese seafood such as scallops and oysters cooked by a Brazilian chef.
Thiago Castanho said, “It’s interesting to have another source, a source like these incredible sweet scallops from Hokkaido here in Brazil, without a doubt.”
Castanho added that the scallops would enrich not only Japanese cuisine but also Brazilian dishes.
Sakamoto said he will work harder for this opportunity to develop scallop exports to Brazil.
