Kochi Prefecture held an event to promote Kochi products such as Yuzu (Japanese citrus fruit), eel and sake (rice wine). CLAIR Sydney assisted the delegation with their activities.
The event was held at the RACV Club in Melbourne CBD on 27 February. This event, to which 129 people including local chefs and the press attended, featured four famous chefs who cooked 17 modern Japanese dishes and sweets.
This event was triggered by previous visits to Australia, and is part of a promotion that is ongoing. Kochi would like to explore new business opportunities in Australia. Yuzu from Kochi accounts for half of Japan’s Yuzu production and it is already being exported to France and Singapore, with huge success.
From the 3rd to the 13th of December, eight selected swimmers from the Fukuoka Swimming Association visited NSW, where they participated in joint training sessions with a local school and competed in the 2024-25 Speedo NSW Senior State Age Championships.
