After 3 years of successful promotional and educational activities in Japan, the Consorzio di Tutela of Prosecco PDO keeps on engaging in the Country of the Rising Sun with an intensive program this July including a Roadshow and an Educational Day in Tokyo.

All the activities in collaboration with ICE Agency Tokyo will be supported by a communication campaign cured by Cuisine Kingdom and its regular network of internationally famous Chefs, among which also Massimo Bottura, and the Associazione Cuochi Cucina Italiana in Giappone (ACCI).
