Savor Sophisticated Pairings of British Produce and Beverages

Since 2011, the British government has been running the "GREAT" campaign to promote the nation's appeal worldwide, undertaking various initiatives in countries across the globe.
Now, as part of this campaign, the "Food is GREAT Gallery" event is being held, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the allure of British ingredients and beverages.
The event will distribute complimentary pairing tickets, offering one selection each of finger foods made with beef or lamb and salmon, alongside a choice of gin or whisky.
Visitors can enjoy sophisticated pairings of food and drink.
The UK has implemented programs to investigate the purity and reliability of its food products. Beyond taste, the assurance of trustworthy ingredients is a key attraction. British beef and lamb are beginning to garner attention in Japan.
Furthermore, the distillation of gin and whisky is one of Britain's signature crafts. These beverages, born from time-honored techniques and quality, pair perfectly with meat and salmon.
Unique displays, experienced only here, will also be featured. These include origami salmon—a representative British ingredient—folded from white, red, and blue paper; art inspired by the Union Jack; whisky and gin aroma experiences; and a gift roulette.
The event runs from October 12th (Sat) to 14th (Mon, holiday). Advance registration is required, with the application deadline set for September 29th (Sun) at 23:59. This is an event not to be missed.
