On September 8, Hiroshima Governor Mika Yokota showcased the prefecture's oysters and sake during a London event aimed at expanding exports to Britain and strengthening ties between Hiroshima and the European nation through food culture. This marked Yokota's first overseas sales promotion trip for the western Japanese prefecture's products.
Approximately 20 attendees, comprising officials from British food importers and influencers, gathered at a Japanese restaurant to partake in a culinary experience. Dishes featured fresh oysters in the shell from Mitsu Bay, harvested in Hiroshima and shipped frozen from the prefecture, accompanied by seven sake varieties from four breweries.
Among these were a cloudy sake from Kamoizumi Shuzo Co. in Higashihiroshima and a rice-based junmai sake brewed 38 years ago by Hanayoi Shuzo Co. in Shobara.
