Consul-General Ito Attends Kampai Toronto

On May 31, Consul-General of Japan Takako Ito attended the 7th annual Kampai Toronto hosted by the Sake Institute of Ontario, an organization comprised of saké wholesalers. The Consul-General attended a seminar for media and food industry representatives, as well as one for the general public. In her speeches she said Kampai Toronto is gaining greater attention every year at a time when Japanese exports of alcoholic products to Canada are increasing. She said she hoped people would use this opportunity to increase their understanding and appreciation of saké.

 
There were also many industry representatives on hand who provided explanations of the characteristics and brewing methods of different types of saké.
