Seoul hosted a Japan-South Korea culture exchange festival on Saturday, featuring a unique tuna-cutting show performed by Japan. The demonstration, using a tuna caught in Nagasaki Prefecture, southwestern Japan, aimed to showcase the country's food safety standards to South Koreans. The Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry organized the event to address South Korea's recent ban on fishery imports from eight Japanese prefectures, including Fukushima, following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster.
South Korean visitors expressed excitement and amazement at the performance, indicating strong interest in Japanese cuisine. Chisato Morishita, Japanese parliamentary vice minister of agriculture, forestry and fisheries, noted the high demand for Japanese food in South Korea and emphasized Japan's commitment to proving the safety of its food products.
