At the invitation of Kanagawa TV and with the support of the Japanese company "Toa Gas" from Yokohama, the Embassy participated in a two-day bazaar (May 28 and 29) called "Kanagawa Mirai Street". The Embassy had its own stand where Serbian products, imported by the company "Makoto Investments" (wines and ajvar), were sold, as well as the ready- made Serbian dish mućkalica sold by company "Matsubara Foods". In addition to the representatives of the Embassy and Makoto Investments, the students of the Toyo Eiwa University and Professor Saori Machida also volunteered at the Serbian stand.

 

Various information about Serbia and the jubilee of 140 years of friendship with Japan were presented, items of folk handicrafts and folk costumes were exhibited, and a large number of guests visited our stand and showed great interest in our country, culture and customs.
