[Kuala Lumpur, Asia Infonet] – The "AMBITIOUS KOCHI," a group dedicated to promoting organic ingredients from Kochi Prefecture, hosted a tasting event titled ”A glittering Tosa dinner party in Malaysia" on the 25th at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur.

The event aimed to expand the international market for organic vegetables grown in Kochi. This marks the second overseas promotion for the association, following a similar event held in Taiwan last year. The EQ Hotel collaborated on the project by providing the venue and assisting with menu development.

The association provided organic taro, tomatoes, green peppers, and carrots, which were transformed into a Japanese multi-course (kaiseki) meal by the chefs at Kampachi, the hotel's signature Japanese restaurant. Kampachi has expressed intentions to integrate these dishes into its regular menu moving forward.

The dinner was attended by approximately 20 guests, including importers specializing in Japanese food products. Notable attendees included:
* H.E. Takahashi Katsuhiko, Ambassador of Japan to Malaysia
* Three representatives from the Malaysian Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security
* Three officials from the Kuala Lumpur City Hall, including the Deputy Mayor

The Japan Fruit and Vegetables Export Promotion Council (J-FEC) held a specialized tasting and business matching event in Kuala Lumpur on Friday, January 16, aiming to expand the presence of Japanese agricultural products in the Malaysian market.

This marks the second time the council has hosted such an event in Malaysia, following its successful debut in August last year. The gathering served as a strategic platform for Japanese suppliers to connect directly with influential local importers and distributors.

Four major Japanese entities showcased a diverse range of premium fruits and processed goods:
Bando Foods: Featured innovative processed items, including "Bakasco" (a specialty pepper sauce) and sudachi & cucumber syrup.

ZEN-NOH International: Presented high-quality fruits, including Yamagata apples and popular strawberry varieties such as "Beni-hoppe" and "Kirapika."

TOMINAGA SHOJI: Displayed a versatile lineup including Japanese yams (nagaimo), sweet potatoes, strawberries, pumpkins, and apples.

The event saw active participation from four prominent Malaysian buyers: JMG Trading, Khaishen Trading, Great Harvest, and Cili Gemuk. These industry players engaged in direct negotiations with the Japanese exhibitors, reflecting the growing demand for high-quality, reliable Japanese produce among Malaysian consumers.

The council’s ongoing efforts highlight Malaysia's importance as a key target market in Southeast Asia for Japan’s agricultural export strategy.
