Reports
【Reflection】
Ishikawa Prefecture designated the five days starting August
27 as “Ishikawa Days” and held events themed around the
prefecture's appeal: its “food culture.”
Among these, we showcased Ishikawa's diverse appeal
through a unified presentation. This included exclusive Expo
lunches and dinners prepared by top chefs from Noto and Kaga,
alongside experiential events such as tastings and seminars
featuring local sake and wagashi sweets. We also displayed
products symbolizing the prefecture's food culture,
including traditional craft tableware.
Furthermore, we widely communicated the progress of recovery
and reconstruction efforts following the Noto Peninsula
earthquake and torrential rain damage.
Throughout the event period, many people visited the venue,
providing an opportunity to experience Ishikawa's
culture.Visitor surveys revealed numerous comments expressing
a desire to visit Ishikawa Prefecture, and we believe we were
able to fully convey the appeal of our prefecture.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Through our participation in this World Expo, a new network
has been formed among food culture businesses within the
prefecture. We will leverage this network to continue
promoting the prefecture's appeal at events both within
and outside the prefecture, thereby boosting visitor numbers.
