The event started at 19:00 and featured greetings by Mr. Miroslaw Zasada, deputy ambassador of Poland followed by music performance by the Japanese pianist Ms. Yoshimi Nakayasu, who lives in Warsaw and represents "Murasaki", the Japanese Center of Caligraphy in Poland, and our special guest, Mr. Hidetaka Nanasawa (Oboe) of New Japan Philharmonic.
After the piano recital guest were welcomed to enjoy Polish traditional cuisine such as barszcz czerwony, zurek, bigos etc., and special fusion food was introduced based on the Polish and Japanese recipies.
