Japan to have N.Z. restaurants
NZJN Tokyo Japanese diners will soon have the choice of two New Zealand restaurants in the small town of Otaru, on Japan’s northernmost island of Hokaido. Both restaurants offer New Zealand lamb, beef, lobster, paua and mussels, served Japanese-style, and New Zealand wines. The Southern Cross Dunedin restaurant, which will open next month, is the brainchild of Mr Fumiyuki Saito, an Otaru entrepreneur. It commemorates the sister-city link forged between Otaru and
Dunedin in 1981. Otaru’s other New Zealand restaurant, Otaru New Zealand Company, opened on May 1. The company, owned by Mr Tokuro Kitagami, a Hokaido sheepmeat processor, will also stock New Zealand sheepskins, slippers, paua, Maori carvings, and pine furniture. Mr Kitagami said he hoped for first-year sales of about $1 million. Otaru is the main port of discharge for carcase New Zealand mutton and lamb shipments to Japan. — Copyright — N.Z. Japan News.
