We're Smart® Green Guide visits Japan
Chairman of We're Smart® Green Guide, Frank Fol, personally travelled to Japan to visit the We're Smart® restaurants and to meet with chefs alongside the local team, but also to make new discoveries that deserve their place in the Green Guide 2022.
In total, they visited 11 restaurants. The We're Smart team met a lot of chefs, influencers, Japanese media, vegetable growers, the Belgian Embassy and plans were made for a national event in Tokyo, among other places.
It was a very instructive, fascinating and a busy week, which will be extended in 2023. More on this topic later. Check out the first article that appeared in Japan & some images of the experiences and encounters.
