The 12th Tokyo Food Education Fair to be held soon!

 

So that citizens of Tokyo can gain a better understanding of food education* while enjoying themselves, Tokyo Metropolitan Government will be holding a food education fair, featuring, among other things, workshops from various projects and organizations involved with food education, displays with information on nutrition, products for sale and food to taste made using locally grown produce. We eagerly look forward to everyone coming along.
