Tourism is Starting to Move Towards the PostCOVID Era at Last
On December 8, 2019, the first patient in Wuhan,
China, was confirmed to be infected with viralpneumonia of unknown cause. On January
31, 2020, the WHO declared a “Public Health
Emergency of International Concern” (PHEIC).
Covid-19 still continues to shake the world.
Then, the world was shocked by more bad news
on February 24. That was the start of Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine.
But whatever happens in the world, people keep
looking ahead and walking on. Spaceship Earth,carrying 7.875 billion people in 196 countries,
continues to sail, carrying with it the interests
and the desire for peace of all its countries andregions.
By the way, do you know Nara Prefecture?
It’s a landlocked prefecture, ringed by mountains and located close to the center of Japan.
As the Eastern end of the Silk Road in ancient
times, it interacted with Europe and Asia. Narais also known as the cradle of Japan’s culinary
culture. Ingredients with their roots in Nara,
including tea, udon noodles, sake, manju buns,
and tofu, are essential to the Japanese diet.

Nara is starting to move in a new direction by
integrating gastronomy with tourism. Nara
Prefecture was picked as the first host venue inJapan for the “7th World Forum on Gastronomy
Tourism”, organized by the UNWTO. The event is
to take place over three days, December 13-15.
The primary aim of gastronomy tourism is to go
beyond supporting local traditions and diversity, to disseminate culture, advance the regional
economy, and help to achieve sustainable tourism.
Nara established the NARA Agriculture and Food
International College around the concept of“Farm to Table”, and is working on developing
the people who will support the worlds of foodand agriculture. In this edition, we report on
how Nara plans to integrate gastronomy with
tourism.
Why not head to Nara and enjoy its cuisine andlocal sake with all your senses?
After all, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. We hope you’ll encounter Nara’s history andculture, and make wonderful memories.

The chefs on stage added spices and herbs totheir usual menus and recipes to raise theirscents and flavors. They emphasized that thesetechniques were effective in finishing menus to ahigher level and making meals feel more classy
and special. They also discussed the medicinal
benefits, including detoxification, enhancing immune function, and preventing chills.
Roles of spices and herbs in the past and now
Spices started to be used in the West to prevent
ingredients from spoiling. As culinary culture
progressed, spices and herbs came to be used to
disguise meat odors and add fragrance. In India
and other countries in Southeast Asia, whichhave high temperature and humidity, heat tends
to suppress appetite. That prompted the extensive use of hot spices and herbs to impart diverse
fragrances, as well as for their antimicrobial ef-

fects. In contrast, Japan, which has four seasonsand is blessed with abundant ingredients fromseas and mountains, emphasizes freshness, as
exemplified by sashimi and sushi. Ingredientsare prepared and eaten in ways that make themost of their innate flavors. Therefore, Japan has
mainly used spices and herbs as condiments, toaccent the ingredients and bring out their own
flavors.
As promised, this Spices and Herbs stage event
was an education event of learning and practice.
Participants praised the session, with comments
such as “this was a valuable stage event to gainawareness of the great potential of spices andherbs and learn how to apply them.”

Special Report:
Find the True Dynamismof Spices and Herbs
The Spice and Herb special culinary event took place
on February 15th (Tuesday) at 10:30-16:00 on its own
stage at the “50th International Hotel and Restaurant Show” at Tokyo Big Site. The theme was “Added
Value in The Menu - The True Dynamism of Spices andHerbs to Enjoy With Five Senses.”Billed as a stage for learning and practice, in the formof a show event between three top chefs and a bartender, the event gathered a fascinated crowd of people from the hotel, restaurant, and food service fields.
Describing the aims of the event, the organizer emphasized that “Spices and herbs will never become
main ingredients. They are prepared and combinedwith the main ingredients in supplementary roles, todraw out the fully potential of those ingredients. Thisis a program of learning and practice, to contributea “plus alpha” of added value and provide hints formenu and recipe development.”
The morning session, as the learning side, featured
a panel discussion (10:30-11:50). In the afternoon,
the practice session, titled “Suggested Techniques to
Make Effective Use of Spices and Herbs”, consisted ofpreparation demonstrations and tasting sessions by
three top chefs and a master bartender.

Nara Prefecture will Host the 7th
UNWTO World Forum on Gastronomy
Tourism in December 2022

5th UNWTO World Forum on Gastronomy Tourism

Since 2015, the World Forum on Gastronomy Tourism, organized by the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), has taken place in selected cities around the world. This year’s Forum, the seventh, is
to take place in Nara Prefecture over three days, December 13-15. We talked to the MICE Promotion
Office, Tourism Bureau, NARA Prefectural Government, which is in charge of promoting the Forum.

Why was Nara Prefecture selected, and whatis the significance of the event?
Nara Prefecture regards enhancing the appeal offood as a vital element in raising the prefecture’s
tourism potential. We are working hard to promote gastronomy tourism, with measures suchas establishing the NARA Agriculture and Food
International College (NAFIC) and publicizing
auberges in the prefecture. Nara also has a UNWTO regional office, which it has worked with in
the past to organize symposiums on gastronomy
tourism. The main reason for the Nara’s selection
is its enthusiastic support of UNWTO activities.
Other than providing opportunities to dine inNara, we see the World Forum as an opportunity
to make the most of the prefecture’s historic, cultural, scenic, and other characteristics, to strongly publicize content for domestic and overseas
consumption which could only come from “Nara,the cradle of Japanese culture”. We also want to
use the event to dispel the image written in the
essay “Nara” by Naoya Shiga, which said “nothing
tastes good in Nara”.

©World Tourism Organization(UNWTO)

What is your definition of gastronomy tourism, and what goals is Nara Prefecture aimingfor?
The Japan Tourism Agency defines gastronomy
tourism as “tourism intended to enjoy foods
created from ingredients grown from the landand climate of the place, and nurtured by its
customs, traditions, history, and other elements,
and to encounter the local culture”. Nara Prefecture positions it in the same way and promotes it
accordingly.
Many foods are nurtured by the cultural and historic background that springs from the region, so
we believe promoting gastronomy tourism willcontribute to sustainable regional developmentthat promotes the area and carries on the traditional culture of local society.
What is Nara Prefecture’s implementation
plan to that end?
In July 2021, Nara Prefecture adopted the “Comprehensive Strategy for Tourism in Nara Prefecture”, which sets “Food Promotion” as one of thepillars for its implementation. The promotionof gastronomy tourism is a key element of thatpilar.

8The “Nara New Capital Building Strategy 2022”
contains “Food Promotion” and “Promotion of
Ordinances to Stimulate Abundant Food andAgriculture in Nara Prefecture”. In these articles,
the Strategy raises the promotion of food andagriculture in Nara Prefecture, including gastronomy tourism, as a key measure.
What are the attractions and characteristics
of food in Nara?
Washoku has been inscribed by UNESCO as
intangible cultural heritage, and it is in the spotlight around the world. We see the fact that Narais the cradle of Japan’s culinary culture as its
greatest advantage in publicizing it to the world.
For example, if you trace back to the origins of
the culinary culture that has been passed down
to modern Japan, such as tea, sake, udon andsomen noodles, and manju buns, you find thatmuch of it has connections with Nara.
What is Nara’s tourist attraction?
Nara Prefecture contains three pieces of cultural
heritage that are on the UNESCO world heritage
list. Nara is the site of Japan’s first capital, andthe first place where Buddhism took root here.
There are historic buildings and cultural assetsthat have been handed down since the Asuka
and Nara eras (592-794CE), and the old ruralvistas and town houses which form Japan’s original scenery are still preserved, and can be seen
all over Nara Prefecture.

How does Nara plan to integrate gastronomy
with tourism?
Food is one of the great pleasures for travelers.
That makes gastronomy an important element
within tourism. Local foods, ingredients, alcoholic drinks, and the like are a way for travelers to encounter the customs, traditions, andhistory of the place, raising the added value of
their trip. We believe the involvement of local
producers in tourism will lead to revitalization of
local economies.
Are there any countries or regions which aremodels for Nara, or examples which provide
hints?
We gather that San Sebastian in Spain and Limain Peru, which are previous hosts of the World
Forum, succeeded because their local chefs decided to use food to attract people, and put that
resolution into action.
Nara Prefecture is negotiating a partnershipagreement with the aforementioned NAFIC,
and with the Basque Culinary Center, a culinary
school in San Sebastian, as a way to greatly advance gastronomy tourism.
Finally, we urge people to come to Nara and enjoy their fill of its foods and drinks with all theirsenses, as they encounter Nara’s history andculture and make wonderful memories.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries is Creating a Certification System
for Vegetarian and Vegan
These days, vegetarian and vegan are a global
food trend. They are spreading as a way to address increased interest in food safety amid theCovid-19 pandemic, and as one solution to theclimate crisis, particularly among the young.
According to the survey company IMARC Group,
the global market for vegetarian and veganfoods reached UD17 billion in value in 2020, and
it is forecast to grow at a rate of 11.4% between
2021 and 2026.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is creating a certification system for bars andrestaurants which serve vegetarian and veganfoods, and for vegetarian and vegan processed
foods. Processed foods etc. which satisfy the criteria are permitted to display the JAS Mark. The
system will meet demand from foreign tourists,
looking forward to the post-Covid era. The Ministry wants to introduce the system by as earlyas this summer.
The bill will set two types of certification criteria, for processed foods and for bars and restaurants. Both types check that ingredients are notof animal origin, and that if the same equipment
and utensils are also used with ingredients ofanimal origin, they are thoroughly cleaned toprevent crossover. One condition for bars andrestaurants is that they must serve at least one
main dish menu item for vegans or vegetarians.
For processed foods, there is content in line withinternational standards, with exporting in mind.
Taito Ward, famous for Asakusa, the famous
tourist area, was quick to earn recognition as a
Muslim-friendly city, with many Halal-compliant
shops. Since fiscal 2021, it has been strengthening its environment for accepting foreigners bysupporting food diversity, and by covering vegetarian, vegan, and other diets as well as Muslims. Taito Ward’s Tourism Department createdits Food Diversity Support Map (digital edition)in April this year, saying “we want to help so that
all travelers visiting Taito Ward can eat, drink,and enjoy tourism with peace of mind”. Other
local authorities are following suit, in what appears to be an accelerating trends.
The new “Vegetarian and Vegan JAS” will leadthe way as the national-standard vegetarian andvegan certification mark. As well as bringing theoverdue development of Japan’s vegetarian andvegan environment, this JAS standard is expected to serve as a selling point when Japanese
agricultural produce and foods are exported.

Promoting theJapanese
Traditional
Food “Tofu” tothe Whole World
The number of tofu shops in Japan peaked in 1960 at 50,000, but now there are only 5,304 of them. We
followed Mr. Isogai, who is constantly busy spreading the “Tofu Meister” program as a way to leave
tofu, Japan’s traditional food, to the children of the future.

Takeshige IsogaiCEO
Tofu Project Japan, Inc.
Working on “Tofu Meister”
I am working to revitalize the tofu industry. “Tofu
Meister” is part of that effort. We have made a
qualification system for tofu for general consumers, and we are expanding it in Japan and overseas. There are now 4,404 people who have taken
the Tofu Meister qualification. We have organizedcourses in Hawaii, Paris, Rome, Brussels, Hong
Kong, South Korea, Shenzhen, and elsewhere.
The background to the program
The background is that the number of tofu makers in Japan has fallen a long way. There used to
be around 50,000 nationwide, which is roughly
the same as the number of convenience stores
today. By now, that has fallen to 5,304, around
one tenth. I started from a sense of crisis that, if
it goes on like this, tofu, part of Japan’s culinary
culture, would be lost. I established the “Tofu
Meister Certification System” as a dietary education qualification, to enable dietary education
activities using tofu.

10

Outreach to younger generations
In partnership with the 100 Soybeans Campaign
Support Group, an NPO, we are implementing a
program in agricultural high schools nationwide
for students to learn to grow soybeans, and thenmake tofu from the beans they grew. We havealso opened Junior Tofu Meister classes to convey knowledge of soybeans and the appeal of
tofu to younger generations.
The abura-age (deep-fried tofu) course
This March, we released the Dietary Abura-age
Meister Certification Course. Abura-age, alongside tofu, is part of Japanese culinary culture,but before now, there was never a course forstudying it. Many people don’t know how tomake it.
People living overseas can’t get abura-age, so I’ve
had some asking about how to make it where
they live. I made the Dietary Abura-age Meister
Certification Course to meet that kind of need.
Fresh-fried abura-age is wonderful. In future, I
want to spread knowledge of abura-age as wellas tofu, around Japan and overseas.

Global Kitchen Series No. 10 Estonia

Global Kitchen Series No. 10

ESTONIA©Renee Altrov
Oliver Ait
Commercial Counsellor
Embassy of Estonia in TokyoCan you briefly introduce yourself and yourmission at the Embassy?
My main mission as the Commercial Counsellorof the Embassy of Estonia in Tokyo is to help
Estonian companies to enter the Japanesemarket. We assist Estonian enterprises in establishing contacts with Japanese companies,
provide market information and hold different
types of events and seminars. We also introduce investment opportunities in Estonia toJapanese companies and investors, since there
is a growing interest towards Estonian active
startup scene, digital society and innovation
ecosystem.
Seven companies from Estonia ran a boothat FOODEX Japan 2022 for the first time.
How were the results?
This was the first time Estonia participated at
FOODEX Japan at the national level and theexperience was extremely good. The feedback
we have seen from companies has been only
positive.
We had a relatively large booth at FOODEX andgained a-lot of visibility. I have been personallyvery supportive about attending large scale
events that have a good track record, highquality organisers and wide visibility. FOODEX
Japan is definitely one of them and it didn’t
disappoint - even during the COVID restrictions the event was held very professionally.
12

Here I have to thank our good local partners like
Global Media and JMA, who we have a very close
relationship with. Estonian companies made a greatamount of new contacts and interest towards Estonian products was high throughout the event andafter that.
What are the main food products and beverages
which are imported from Estonia to Japan?
As a country that is known for its clean air and purenature, we have a-lot to offer. For example, hand
crafted cider from Estonian apples (Jaanihanso),
natural honey from Estonian beekeepers (Artisan
Honey and Honest Nektar), Estonian chocolate from
Kalev and Roosiku Chocolate Factory and craft beerfrom Põhjala are all products that are extremely
popular and have been performing well in Japanesemarket. Besides food related products there is alsoa growing interest towards Estonian natural cosmetics and design.

What are the features of Estonian products thatyou want to tell Japanese consumers?
Estonia is relatively well known as a very advanced
digital society, but this goes hand in hand with ahealthy, well-balanced and non-wasteful lifestyle.
In Japan, a-lot of emphasis is put on the freshnessof what is on the table and in the bowl. In Estonia
too, we prefer fresh foods and vegetables during
the summer period. Even during the winter, wedon’t forget the fact that the best and the healthiest food is organic and that's what we are emphasizing. Several years ago the World Health Organization ranked Estonia's air as some of the cleanest
in the world and clean nature is our strong point in our food industry we try to turn this advantage
to our favour as much as we can.
In Japan, we talk a lot about food loss and Estonians have a similar way of thinking - we consume
responsibly and it is reflected in our food culturetoo.
Do you have any plans and strategies in orderfor your products to take further root into theJapanese market?
We have just finished conducting a public opinion
poll on Estonia’s image here in Japan and not surprisingly many people were interested in learning
more about Estonia as a tourism and food destination. Japanese seem to enjoy traveling and local
gourmet food when on the road, so that nearly
half of the respondents who had some previous
knowledge about Estonia said that they would liketo experience both in Estonia.
On the other hand, most of the people still don’t
have a clear image of Estonian cuisine, so participating in exhibitions, opening pop-up shops,
attending cultural events, doing media promotion
and inviting people to Estonia to experience ourfood culture first hand are all tools that we should
continue using.

Can you tell us about popular Estonian dishes?
In principle, our traditional kitchen is very simple- fish, meat, vegetables, dairy and rye bread. Everything that nature has to offer. We consume agreat amount of potatoes and rye bread, whichsounds as common as consuming rice in Japan,
but we also have some foods that can offer a bit
more avant-garde experience - bloody sausage orsült, for example. I’ll leave it to readers to find out
what they actually are and how they taste when
visiting Estonia.
Although I mentioned freshness, we also tend toenjoy pickles and soups (especially during thewinter period). An aspect of our food culture that
seems to resonate well with the Japanese consumers.
Are there any restaurants in Tokyo where we
can enjoy Estonian cuisines?
There are no restaurants at the moment, but weare very lucky to have people in Tokyo and Japan
who have grown to love Estonian cuisine and are
helping to introduce it to Japanese consumers.
Last year Keiko Sasaki published the first Estonian cookbook in Japanese titled “The Estonian
Home Cooking Recipes”. Sasaki san is also offering a chance to familiarise yourself with Estonian
cooking through workshops that are available at
http://estonianavi.com. Having participated in her
events, I can wholeheartedly recommend them.
Last question. What do you like about Japanese food?
I enjoy simple, but fresh food. Especially seafoodand vegetables. I believe this is one of the strongest aspects of Japanese cuisine and many Estonians love that about the Japanese kitchen.

It’s Time to Try Something New Potato Chips!
FOODEX JAPAN 2022 took place at Makuhari
Messe over four days, on the 8th to 11th ofMarch. The exhibitors were 1,313 companies,
such as food and beverage manufacturers
and trading companies. Of those, 594 werefrom overseas, from 46 countries and regions. Seven companies from Estonia exhibited for the first time. The booth that attracted the most attention among the Estonians
belonged to Balsnack, which handles potato
chips. We talked to Kaido Höövelson, president of Japanese corporation, who is also aformer sumo wrestler (rikishi) and an active
politician in Estonia. His ring name as a rikishi was Baruto Kaito.

14valuable learning experience.
Then I went back to Estonia. Few Estonians have
lived in Japan for as long as 15 years, as I have.
But whatever I tried to talk about, it didn’t communicate well to those around me. I thought that
if I entered politics, I’d be able to put all kinds ofthings into practice. I want to apply my experience to convey to young people, and particularly
young people living in rural areas, what is themost important in life and in work. As you know,
Estonia is advanced in information technology.
If you have the Internet, you can make a living,even if you live in the country. In that case, I think
more people will choose to stay in the country,
rather than moving to the city. I want to apply
the experience of 15 years in Japan to serve as abridge between the two countries.

Mr. Balto, you were famous as the former
sumo wrestler Baruto Kaito. Now you’re a politician in Estonia, but what made you choose
politics?
After I retired from sumo, I came back and lived in
Estonia for half a year. Once I was back, I understood for the first time the differences between
Japan and Estonia, of course, but also the differences between people in rural and urban partsof Estonia, in their ways of life and standards ofliving. It was also an opportunity to think about
what it takes to make a place that’s easy to live
in, and what I could do about it. I only knew thesumo world, so I got to thinking that if I started
by experiencing all kinds of things, I could thenenter politics as a way to achieve that goal.

Changing the subject a little, have you lost
weight since you were a rikishi?
I lost 40kg. I lost the muscle, but the fat stayed(laughs).

So half a year after returning to Estonia, youwent back to Japan?
I went back to Japan and worked as a talent for
Beat Takeshi’s agency for five years. In that period, I also worked on election support activities.
My work took me all over Japan, from Hokkaido
to Yonaguni Island, and I was able to learn about
the differences between town and country, andabout what kind of country Japan is. It was a

What is your plan or vision for the future?
In future I think I’d like to run an izakaya bar ora ramen noodle shop. And, above all, I want tokeep looking forward and working together withpeople to produce lasting good outcomes. I want
to work together with everyone to build a magnificent bridge between Estonia and Japan. Japan has been very kind to me for 15 years. I want
to do my best to return the favor. All the best!

Now you’re involved in the potato chip company Balsnack.
As a bridge between Japan and Estonia, I’mrunning around trying to introduce Estonian
things and the country of Estonia. I started with
Estonian fish. The potato chips from Balsnack I’mworking with now are unique, with an unusual
shape. There are six flavors. People of all ages
can enjoy them. I’m a big fan of Japanese beer,and I love draft beer. These chips are great withbeer.

Three-flavor dips

At FOODEX, the cook Mai Tsunoda visited theBalsnack booth. She was charmed by the uniqueshape of Balsnack chips and thought of recipe
ideas using them. She has developed four recipes that would go well with beer, of course, andalso with wine and other drinks. Mr. Balto liked“three-flavor dips” the best. Ms. Tsunoda said
“Three-flavor dips” combines three types ofhealthy vegetable-based dips with cheese andonion flavored snacks. Taking snacks that taste
good on their own and combining them withcooked food produces a recipe for enjoying new
flavors”.
When Mr. Balto was asked where that recipe
would rank in the sumo banzuke ranking, he
immediately answered “Makunouchi!” For reference, makunouchi is the ranking that makes
up the framework for the highest level of sumo
wrestling.
The potato chips distributed in Japan, where
food culture is diversifying, easily number in thetens of varieties, including imported items. They
are a popular snack throughout the population,and the subject of intense market competition.
That’s why they have the potential to go beyond
being a beer snack or a treat for the kids, to be-

Just a snack, but a good snack. We hope adding
this one more item to the shelves of Japan’s
stores will make more and more of its people
smile.

Hotels in Tokyo: Series 5
You went to France at the age of 26,
to hone your skills at restaurants in
Paris and Bordeaux. What was themost important thing you learned
or noticed in your culinary training
overseas?
Perhaps it was because I was an ignorant 26-year-old, but all the ingredients I encountered seemed delicious.
One thing that made a particularly
strong impression on me was that thedairy products, the cream, butter, andcheese, were at a totally different quality level compared to those in Japan.
Of course, I also noticed differences invegetables and animal products, andthere are differences in climate fromJapan, as well as associated differencesin producers’ attitudes and methods
for growing plants and animals. I got asense of how ingredients grown in Europe match its climate, and those ingredients are made into dishes which suit
them, and layers of historic backgroundare added to those dishes, to create diverse cuisines. I was able to learn a lot
about things like history and culinary

Executive Chef
Hotel Century Southern Tower
16

I gather you became executive chefof Hotel Century Southern Tower inJuly 2019. What is your most important role as executive chef? And what
do you emphasize in your everyday
work?
My role is to use food to elevate the hotel’s brand.
I emphasize themes that fit the needsof the times, and dishes (product development) which tell stories.
For example, I think about things like“what are our guests looking for inthese pandemic times?” and “whatkinds of food do they want to sharewith whom and in what situation?”. I
strive to develop dishes that don’t justtaste good, but also convey a message
from the hotel, as the creator.
What do you aim to make the key
selling point of the food served bySouthern Tower?
That would be combinations of precious ingredients from various places
that can only be tasted at Southern
Tower. One example would be the marriage between Spanish beef and Japanese ingredients (Tokyo vegetables).

What is the key point for choosing ingredients, or the most important aspect of sourcing ingredients?
It’s the selection of ingredients that provide
differentiation and tell a story. I think the levelof completion of the cooking is almost entirely
determined by the selection of ingredients.
There’s also the quality of the ingredients, ofcourse, and it’s important to have somethingpeople will talk about, like being unavailable
anywhere else, or being offered for the firsttime in Tokyo.
I also make an important point of knowing thecharacteristics and background of each ingredient. I mean things like the environment inwhich the ingredient was grown and what the
producer thinks. When I source ingredients, I go
to the places where they are produced, talk to
the producers, and pick up inspiration for dishes from the air and scents of the local climate
and land.
What is Southern Tower doing to promote
food diversity as it serves foreign guests?
How do you serve those with gluten free,vegetarian, vegan, halal, and other needs?
We ask our guests in detail about their gluten
free and allergy-related needs, and serve themwith special menus. For vegetarian and vegandiners, we offer vegetable-only full course
meals that target inbound travelers. It’s a vegetarian/vegan menu made mainly from vegetables grown in Tokyo, following the theme of
local production for local consumption.
We don’t have any dedicated cooking equipment or kitchens for halal or other religious
needs, but as we do for allergies, we ask ourcustomers what they want, and do our best tocomply.
What new recipes and menus, using new ingredients, are you developing?
I’m currently developing dishes using floundergrown in Obama, Fukui Prefecture.

Even though it’s farmed fish, it is grown in facilities on land and kept organic, as a trustworthy
and sustainable food in line with the SDGs.
In contrast to naturally grown fish, people canenjoy eating this fish raw without worrying about
Kudoa or other types of parasites, so I think it’s aningredient that matches current needs.
What does “omotenashi” mean to you, as executive chef?
To me, omotenashi means letting guests experience foods and services that exceed their expectations.

17Hotels in Tokyo: Series 5First of all, please tell us about
the situation of hotels in the
pandemic, and the outlook forthe future.

In pre-pandemic times, what was theratio between domestic and foreign
guests? And what countries and regions did the most guests come from?

Due to the reduction in inbounddemand, occupancy rates, which
had been averaging in the 90%
range, are now down to around30%. The future depends partly
on the relaxation of national
regulations, but we expect tosee a recovery in inbound travel
starting in the second half of theyear, and we aim to push occupancy back up to 60% within
this year.

The ratio was 30% domestic to 70% foreign. There are many guests from North
America and Europe, but guests from East
Asian countries, particularly Hong Kong,
Taiwan, and South Korea, are also numerous.

What are the attractions of Hotel Century Southern Tower,
which has been rated number
one by its guests?
Besides the views and the location, I think the smiles of ouremployees are a great attraction.

What is the thing you pay most attention to when receiving foreign guests?
We strive to strengthen our communication skills, to make sure we recognize
languages correctly and are able to listen
and respond accurately.
How would you advise foreign guests
to spend their time at your hotel?
We have an excellent location, a threeminute walk from Shinjuku Station, so
our concierge can guide them to all sorts
of tourist attractions within easy reach,helping them to enjoy their trips evenbetter and go home with more memories.
When guests arrive, we guide them sothat they can enjoy meals freshly prepared in our restaurants while enjoying
the views from rooms on higher floors.
What's the most important thing for aconcierge?
I always strive to think about things fromthe guest’s perspective, and to serve each
guest the way that suits them best, so
I can provide them with a comfortable
place that feels like a second home. In theevent of any complaint, I put my heart
into handling the situation sincerely, so
our guests become repeat customers.
What is “true omotenashi”?
We put our hearts into considering thebackground of each guest and giving
them personally tailored service, so theywant to come to Southern Tower again
and to talk to our staff.

Job of the Concierge
is to Guide Guests as
They Create Happy
Memories

The 3rd EXPAT EXPO TOKYO
will Take Place in November
This is an EXPO for international residents andemployers of foreign residents in Japan. There
will be many exhibits of services for life support,
shopping, and travelling for international
residents.
Don’t miss this year’s special project “Worldwide
Food”!

Kenichi IchimuraShow Director
EXPAT EXPO TOKYO / International
Job Fair TOKYO20

The third Expat Expo takes place
this year, but what is its primary
purpose?
The target attendees are 1) foreigners
living in Japan, and their families,and 2)companies which employ foreigners. First of all, the Expo provides
such people with opportunities tobuy or to comparison-shop various
products and services oriented towards foreigners. Another purpose
is to help make life in Japan easierand more fun, by providing tourism
information and Japanese culturalexperience events. The event was notpreviously adapted to people newly
arrived amid the Covid-19 pandemic,
but this year we’re looking forward to
many such visitors.

The previous two events took place under
Covid-19. How do you evaluate the results
and impact of those events?
Many people living in a limited community,
who previously lacked access to information,
have told us they are delighted to have thiskind of opportunity. They are delighted that
this is taking place as a real event at a time
when such events are rare. The second event
was three times larger than the first. We expect
this year’s event to be even larger.
Which have been the high-profile booths sofar, and what areas do you expect to attract
attention this year?
Booths offering taste testing and sales of sakeand other Japanese foods and drinks havebeen the center of attention. The Dassai-brandsake pairing experience (no charge) was very
popular. I think food-related offerings will be
the focus of attention again this time.

What do you see as the needs and expectations of visitors to Expat Expo?
I think they see this as a chance to accessforeigner-friendly services, efficiently andin English.
What’s the biggest special feature thisyear?
We’ve newly added the “World Food Area”
as a special feature to give people opportunities to enjoy international exchanges anddeepen their understanding of other countries. This year we’re expanding our exhibits related to multinational foods. I thinkthey will be an opportunity to learn about
the culinary cultures of various countries,
and to enjoy those cultures by taste-testingfoods, so I hope people will bring their families and friends along.

Nihonbashi was built in 1603 as a wooden bridge. Amid the crowded
city of Edo, it was often chosen as the subject of ukiyoe (woodblock

burnt down many times. The double arch stone bridge you see today
was completed in 1911 and now is approved as an important culturalproperty.

Talking to Kimio Nonaga, the thirdgeneration young master of Yukari
One feature of Yukari is that we serve cuisine acrossthe counter. We see the counter as a stage for thecooks’ performance. It’s a stage for presenting ourown appeal. When a customer orders a draft beer,
the norm in any restaurant is to pour the beer intoa glass and take it out. At Yukari, we serve it in a
handmade pottery mug fired in Kyoto. Our sakecontainers are original pieces made of tin, which you
can’t see anywhere else. That’s an example of how
we strive to offer the best hospitality. We want ourcustomers to enjoy a show that no other restaurant
offers. We ask our customers, particularly thosefrom overseas, about their food taste preferences
and allergies in advance. If it seems like here aresome things they would particularly like or dislike
among the dishes we serve, we can change thecooking method or the flavoring, to serve custom
cuisine to suit the individual diner’s taste. Hospitality
is about getting ready behind the scenes, and how
much preparation you put into the food, based on
the customer’s feelings. I think it should never justbe “work”, serving dishes in sequence, one, two,
three.
Kimio Nonaga
Born in 1972. Trained in Japanesecuisine at “Kikunoi”, then became
the third-generation young
master of Yukari. Won the “Iron
Chef Japan Cup 2002.” Selected by
the New York Times as the young
chef to represent Japan, andwas the first person recognized
as a “World Chef”. Widely active in various media andmagazines, and overseas, in diverse fields. Preserves
tradition while spreading new Japanese cuisine.

レインボーブリッジ

Rainbow Bridge
Opened to traffic in 1993, the bridgeover the Port of Tokyo is called the
Rainbow Bridge and looks like arainbow as the name suggests. The 1.7
kilometers promenade walk connecting
Shibaura Wharf and Odaiba waterfront
area can be walked on. It takes about
half an hour to cross the whole bridge.
The two routes, north route and southroute, provide different sceneries, but
the south route is recommended if you
only plan to walk one way. The visionfrom the bridge is too beautiful to miss
especially during the night illumination
as the illumination color changes
depending on events and even on days
and hours for viewers to enjoy theoutstanding time of the day.
Promenade open hours:
April 1-October 31 9:00AM-9:00PM
