#6:Japan Week
March 19-21, 2013 at Grand Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall
Japan Week 2013 was inspired by the Japanese “on-the-go” lifestyle theme. It was an annual celebration of Japanese culture and cuisine in Vanderbilt Hall at Grand Central Terminal organized by JNTO, JTA and some Japanese companies. They introduced the audience with the nuances of Japanese travel culture, including ekiben, or special train-station bento boxes containing regional dishes, and tachinomiya, standing bars featuring a range of sake and shochu. Entertainment includes cultural performances and cooking demonstrations scheduled throughout the three days. This time, J-COLLABO provided several performances for Japan Week.
