On 14th November, Ambassador Shikata Noriyuki attended the opening ceremony of the Japan Foundation Cultural Travelling Exhibition, “I Love Sushi”, held at UR-MU (Urban Museum Kuala Lumpur) @ The Toffee.
Organized by the Japan Foundation Kuala Lumpur, co-hosted by the Embassy of Japan in Malaysia and Urban Museum Kuala Lumpur, and supported by the sushi restaurant Sushi Hibiki, the exhibition focuses on Japan’s iconic dish, sushi.

The exhibition offers a multifaceted introduction to its appeal, highlighting aspects of Japanese history and culture.
At the opening ceremony, Chef Makoto Saito Sam of Sushi Hibiki in Kuala Lumpur gave a talk and demonstration, serving four types of sushi, including modern-style sushi.
During the ceremony, Ambassador Shikata expressed his hope that the exhibition would provide an opportunity to further deepen exchange and friendship between Japan and Malaysia through Japanese food culture.
