Taste of Saudi Culture Event
From the 8th to the 10th of November of this year, our team had the privilege of participating in and attending a mesmerising cultural event aimed at introducing aspects of Saudi Arabia’s culture to Japanese people.
Let’s discover the details of this event together!
The event, called “Taste of Saudi Culture”, was hosted by the Saudi Culinary Arts Commission in Ariake Garden in Tokyo. It was held to celebrate important aspects of the rich and beautiful culture of Saudi Arabia, specifically those related to its cuisine and traditional arts.
In its efforts to foster a better cultural connection between Japan and Saudi Arabia, the Commission organised the amazing aforementioned 3-day-long event, which succeeded in attracting many Japanese and non-Japanese visitors alike.
The event witnessed the presence of 20 booths, ranging from gift shops, traditional handcraft stands, and food stalls, each displaying their products for the attendees to see, try, and, most importantly, to learn about.
There were also platforms dedicated to live cooking, providing an exquisite eating experience for all attendees.
The overall environment was extremely vibrant thanks to the live traditional dancing and beautiful musical performances.
Our team members located in Japan covered the whole event and conducted brief meetings with some of the talented Saudi artists and chefs participating in it. Moreover, they had the honour to meet His Excellency, the Honourable Ambassador of Saudi Arabia to Japan, Dr Ghazi Binzagr, and gain deep, invaluable knowledge from him.
For a deeper breakdown of the event, you can check the whole video on our YouTube channel. It is a detailed video that allows you, the viewers, to experience the joyous moments of the event as if you were physically there.
As a company that seeks to bridge cultures and bring Japan and the Arab World closer to each other, it was our team’s biggest pleasure to take part in such a culturally-loaded event.
Undoubtedly, Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest and most important landmarks in the Arab, Islamic World, and learning about it is a huge first step towards the bigger goal of understanding Arab civilisation and Islamic culture.
