About Us
Aomori Food and Drink Conference has found in September 2012 by companies in Aomori that are eager to expand their market to overseas. It has been actively working and researching to get into the U.S. market and share its quality food and drinks, trying to establish Aomori Brand in the U.S. Our activity just started, and continues to try hard to share its quality and joy of finding quality food from one of the best food place from Japan.
Aomori Fair at Mitsuwa Marketplace in Los Angeles, CA. March 2013
We had hold Aomori Fair in Los Angeles, the second largest city in the U.S. We brought and introduced Black garlic, Apple Vinegar, confectionaries and many others. Local residents from Aomori played Nebuta music. It was a good success and research of the market.
Aomori Fair at Uwajimaya Beaverton store in Beaverton, OR. March 2014
Portland is known for one of the best food culture in the US. We found it is a totally different market than Los Angeles, and found the level of food culture is very high, consumers care about what they eat and educated. Portlander are willing to spend money for good food. We loved the city. Local Taiko performer Takohachi performed for us, and they did Nebuta music, and we all jumped and danced!
