Noriko, translator for Aljomar Hams in Japan

Our presence at the Foodex 2015 trade fair is made possible by the collaboration of someone very important to Jamones Aljomar. Her work at this event is essential to the success of our journey through Eastern gastronomy. She breaks down the language barrier; she is our Japanese translator, and her name is Noriko. After three years of collaborating with Aljomar at Foodex, what do you think is the perception of our Iberian products in the Japanese and Asian market? Those who have had the pleasure of tasting Iberian hams, sausages or meats know how to appreciate them and assure that they have a very good flavor. Noriko-translator Aljomar Foodex verti Hams Which product attracts the most attention from Japanese consumers? Iberian acorn-fed meats, like the loin end and, of course, acorn-fed Iberian ham. Ugh… it's hard to choose just one, but… yes, I think it's acorn-fed Iberian ham. How do they prefer to taste and cook acorn-fed Iberian pork in Japan? They almost always choose to prepare them roasted, to fully savor their flavor and aroma. What is the profile of the consumer of Iberian pork products in Japan? They are usually upper-class people who seek to enjoy life. Do the current distribution channels favor the marketing of Iberian hams, sausages, and meats, and are these products accessible to the end consumer in Japan? No. It's difficult to find Spanish products in supermarkets. We can only buy them in gourmet food stores, high-end restaurants, or online. Do the Eastern restaurant and hospitality circuits include gastronomic proposals in their menus where Iberian pork is the main ingredient? Of course. It's the star of many dishes, and restaurants are the best place to find good Iberian pork. Will you ever come to Guijuelo to meet the Aljomar company and family? Of course, I would love to! Greetings from Tokyo to the entire Aljomar family. We'll be waiting for you here, Noriko, thank you for your collaboration!
