Chabad Tokyo Japan

JETRO is a government-related organization that works to promote mutual trade and investment between Japan and the rest of the world.
The organization came to the realization that Kosher Supervision on Japanese products would greatly boost the export and sales overseas. They realized this after seeing the great success Dassai Sake met with after obtaining kosher supervision of Rabbi Edery namely Kosher Japan. JETRO flew to the US to see how the Kosher Japan Dassai Sake is sold in stores. They also came to the factory to see firsthand how the supervision is conducted.
This week JETRO’s report, encouraging Japanese companies to get Kosher Supervision aired on TV. To see it in Japanese, please click here.

Pinchas Eliyahu Edery, 7,  peeling loads of carrots for Passover Seder at Laforet Hotel, Chabad Japan. A lot of patience and perseverance and the task was completed. 

Moshiach Edery, 12,  working at the meat grinder, making the mix for the delicious meatballs served at the Passover Seder. To have kosher beef made in Japan, is no small task but well worth the outcome. Next Passover, hopefully in Jerusalem, in the Third Temple, we will serve Kosher Kobe Beef, made in Japan.

Chaya Mushka Edery, 9,  with the eggplant mound. Yes, tens and tens of kilos of eggplants  for the wonderful eggplant dish served at the Passover Seder. Sholom Dovber Edery, the Kosher supervisor of Chabad House is peeking from the staircase, making sure no leaven comes in contact with the professional peelers. 

The Passover Seders at Chabad Japan were a great success, with over 200 participants. All the guests were moved by the unity and happiness among everyone. It took a lot of logistics to get all the food (hot and cold), Matzos, wine, Hagaddot and all other necessities to the ballroom. Thank G-d, with the help of Chabad House staff, endless energy and devotion of Rabbi Edery and Rabbi Aldrich, all was well organized.
