appreciation to the participants for their support and solidarity for the
people of Japan. He further stated that
Japan will continue to work hard to restore normal
life to the people of Japan so that they may hold cultural events such
as sake tasking like they used to. Participants were shown pictures
related to sake, and watched detailed presentations by Mr. Sam Toma and
Mrs. Yumiko Tsunakawa, Director/ Dinner Coordinator, CJSO. They tasted
various kinds of sake and exchanged opinions about the differences in
tastes in a very relaxed atmosphere.

"The Successful Japanese Export People do not think of!" The latter
turned out to be the humble Rice Cooker with members marvelling
at models passed around. Carolina

otherwise
straight lecture, with valuable rice cooking tips covering
rice washing, measuring water manually and serving rice, pure
and unadulterated.
