Food Bank Azabu will also participate in the Expo and will hold a seminar titled “The Japanese Spirit of Mottainai” on Saturday, November 9 at 11:00, in collaboration with related charity organizations.

In this seminar, we will explore the meaning and usage of the traditional Japanese term “mottainai,” discuss the recycling practices from the Edo period  that emphasized resourcefulness, and explain the difference between best-before and expiration dates — all in English.
