An Azuma afternoon at Gourmet Safari with Maeve O’Meara

Our Japanese lunch has been organised by Gourmet Safaris, a company which hosts a number of Gourmet walking tours both locally and internationally all designed by Maeve O’Meara. The Gourmet Safari word has obviously been spreading, it’s a varied crowd which has turned out for today’s event.

This afternoon I am at an intimate media lunch which celebrates the relaunching of Don.
