More than 200 companies are showcasing Japanese food and beverages at this year's "Oishii Japan" food exhibition that opened Thursday in Singapore to promote Japanese products and seek business opportunities in Southeast Asia.
Food and food-related companies from 26 prefectures are taking part in the three-day exhibition, which was launched last year and showcases not only food and beverages but also services and technology for food production.
This year, organizers expect 6,000 visitors, up from 5,000 last year, when food lovers from over 20 countries visited.
