DUBAI (Kyodo) Companies are capitalizing on the growing popularity of Japanese food, including high-quality fruit and beef, in Dubai, the most populous of the United Arab Emirates.
"Very tender and delicious," an Arab restaurant manager said after tasting some beef at the Japan pavilion in a Dubai food exhibition in late February.
A conference at the same time hosted by the Japan External Trade Organization for Japanese producers and local restaurant owners and food importers was also lively.
