Description

In recent years, Japanese food culture has had an outsize influence on New York’s culinary scene, from matcha lattes and umami-rich dashi broth to the humble egg salad sando. Nowhere is this more visible than in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, home to some of the most innovative Japanese food and beverage brands that are driving this new wave of cultural exchange.

Join Sibling, a cross-cultural brand consultancy, and experience design studio Local Projects for a tour of Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighborhood to meet, taste, and learn how these brands have reinterpreted, reformatted, and recontextualized their businesses for New York tastes and unique cross-border experiences.
