Over 10,000 food business professionals in Kyushu gather the business show.

It is the biggest food business event in Kyushu.

 

Because of the terrible earthquakes in Kumomoto, the event was moved to be held in Kita-Kyushu City last year.

It is the first event in Kumamoto after the big disaster.
