New York Mutual Trading公司. has been hosting its own Japanese 食物 & Restaurant Show annually for the past 16 years.
Inside the show we will have approximately 30 food and 20 sake vendors. We have been planning to suggest some new items, and potentially announce discounted pricing to help businesses under these current economic times. The Japanese Culinary Center features a variety of high end knives such as Tsukiji Masamoto and Nenohi (NENOX) as well as other kitchen utensils and ceramic ware, all with special prices valid on the date of the show only.
This year we are focusing on Japanese specialty cuisines such as Ramen, Nabe, and Soba at our seminars and kitchen demonstrations. These kinds of special cuisines are just some of the unique components of the Japanese food culture. We would like to share the tips and cooking techniques of popular restaurants of each specialty cuisine in NYC.
