Big Site Convention Center.
Last week one of the Moms from school brought a group of us to a Food Expo. Her husband works in the food packaging industry and had received tickets for admission. Since he knows “ladies like food”, he gave the tickets to his wife for her and her friends. It was a morning full of tasting a wide variety of products including, miso, mochi, caviar, beef, ice cream, ume shu, popcorn, noodles, cake, pickles, plums, donuts and so on. In a convention room full of salary men in suits, us women and one Dad (some with strollers) worked our way through the crowds. We rationalized our presence by thinking “which consumer exercises the most spending power of food products in the home?”. Of course, it’s the Mother! Needless to say, we had fun!Sake vendor
Pickled plums
Gold leaf sprinkles for anything from steak to waffles.
Super tasty chocolate cake balls.
Nori (seaweed) cups for all your party appetizers.
Mochi (made from rice) dessert.
A sweet treat vendor, Nissei. I imagine this boy and girl are very recognizable to most Americans who eat ice cream cones.
