NYで新潟県食材PR 梨や魚醤、販路開拓へ

 【ニューヨーク時事】新潟県は28日、ニューヨークで県特産の食品をPRするイベントを開いた。飲食店関係者らに新潟米「新之助」を使ったおにぎりや日本酒が振る舞われたほか、梨や高校生が開発した魚醤(ぎょしょう)なども試食してもらった。
 三条市から参加した梨農家の土田広樹さんは、昨年から米国への輸出を始めた。「ニューヨークの日系食材店やネットで販売しており、リピーターも多い」と手応えを感じているといい、販路開拓に意欲を示した。
 商品価値のないサケを活用した魚醤を試食した和食レストランのシェフ、ナラヤン・パリヤさん(32)は「ユニークな味わいで刺し身に合いそうだ」と興味を示した。会場では燕三条地域の伝統工芸品である包丁や食器も展示された。(2024/10/29-10:49)

Food from Japan's Niigata Pref. Promoted at N.Y. Event


An event to promote food from the central Japan prefecture of Niigata was held in New York on Monday.
   Rice balls made of Shinnosuke-brand rice, sake and other food items were served for visitors including officials from restaurants. Japanese pears grown in Niigata and fish sauce created by high school students in the prefecture were also offered.
   Hiroki Tsuchida, a pear farmer in the city of Sanjo, said he started exporting his pears to the United States last year.
   The pears "are available at Japanese groceries in New York and on the internet," he said. "We have many repeat customers," Tsuchida said, showing eagerness to develop new sales channels.
   Narayan Pariyar, a 32-year-old chef at a Japanese restaurant, tried fish sauce made from unmarketable salmon. The sauce tasted "unique" and "good," and would go well with sashimi, he said.
