Three restaurant operators from the Chubu region will participate in Expo 2015 Milano in Italy next year to promote Japanese food culture to the rest of the world.

Six Japanese companies are scheduled to take part in the event, presenting their best dishes in a food court within the Japan Pavilion.

Curry house Ichibanya Co. and Sagami Chain Co., which sells noodles and other traditional dishes, are both from Aichi Prefecture, while Kakiyasu Honten Co., which specializes in "wagyu" (Japanese beef), hails from Mie.
