Wakayama Persimmons: Available for the second time in Sydney!

The Wakayama Prefectural Government promoted persimmons grown in Wakayama, Japan, from 22 to 23 November in Sydney. Wakayama is located to the south of Osaka, in the Kansai region. Persimmons are one of Wakayama’s specialties and the prefecture is the top producer of persimmons in Japan. This is the second time that Japanese persimmons have been imported to Australia. Representatives from Wakayama promoted Wakayama persimmons through tastings at a fruit and vegetable market, and were pleased to see how many customers love the taste of Wakayama persimmons and purchased this sweet, nutritious fruit!

Apart from in-store promotions, CLAIR Sydney assisted with a quality inspection after customs clearance. We will continue to assist with Wakayama prefecture’s future promotions of persimmons.

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
