30. A Special Knowledge Gained in a Japanese Office

Soon after I (mtec-hq) started working in previous organization 20 years ago, I noticed that I had gained a special knowledge. It was about "Souvenir Confectioneries of the Region". Sales reps, computer engineers kept traveling for meetings. Most of the time they bring souvenir to the partner, usually confectionery of the region. My working team in Tokyo had patners in Hokkaido, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Kumamoto, so I really got knowledgeable about the confectioneries of these areas.

Now, in MTEC, I still observe the same custom. I wonder the overseas offices share the same custom? This article features Chili snack from Ishigaki Island(picture above), some others from Sendai and Tokyo(picture on the right).
