Food Japan 2018 product showcase

Food Japan is ASEAN's most prolific showcase of authentic Japanese food and beverage (F&B) products, culinary techniques and novel technologies. Formerly known as Oishii Japan, Food Japan 2018 will be held at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre Hall 401-402 from 25 to 27 October 2018.

Over 200 exhibitors are expected to attend Food Japan 2018, which will play host to specialities from various Japanese prefectures including:

Agricultural Legal Parson Farm Kazuto (Nagano Prefecture) - Booth C10

Farm Kazuto’s sweet fruit corn is grown at an altitude of 900m above sea level in North Nagano prefecture and harvested during summer mornings when temperature is only 15°Celsius. The runoff from melted snow and the abundance of minerals pours into the well-drained lands. Using “brine freezing” technology – a liquid rapid freezing methodology – the harvested fruit corns are froze with an anti-frozen liquid of minus 30°Celsius. This ensures that the fruit corns stay fresh and crunchy while retaining their natural sweetness and umami flavour.

By mixing with water before use, karashi (Japanese mustard) becomes more pungent with a hint of sweetness, which is characteristic of oriental mustard. Even in small doses, it gives dishes a strong hot and spicy flavour. Karashiya uses a patented process that removes oil from the mustard seed, enhancing its taste and pungency as well as ensuring a longer shelf life. Best enjoyed as a traditional spice of Japanese cuisine, Washoku, tokuyo karashi is a popular condiment used for popular Japanese dishes like Tonkatsu, Oden, Natto and Gyoza.
