Trip to NYC (Winter 2012)...DAY 3: Donabe time!


The big trade show kicked off today. It was sunny and refreshing in the morning, so I felt very nice walking to the venue.

I am here with Nagatani-en people to present their authentic Iga-yaki products for US trade.

Today, I did cooking demonstrations with Donabe Steamer, MUSHI NABE...we attracted a big crowd each time!

I was so exhausted after the full first day of the show, but we had a dinner gathering among Japanese presenters at Ronin Bar and Grill in Midtown East. More than 40 people attended, so it was a big dinner party. Just a few pictures from the very izakaya-style dinner.

After we returned to the hotel, we had more drinks. My Oaxacan spicy cocktail was nice.
Long day is now over.
