When I was still living in the United States, my friends from Japan asked, "Are there any souvenirs that clearly tell you that you've been to San Francisco?" When it comes time to buy souvenirs for your family and colleagues. I have come. For example, "Golden Gate Bridge Manju", for example, "Alcatraz Island Senbei". Everyone was looking for such an easy-to-understand souvenir. Of course, there is no such thing in the United States. Knowing that, everyone was disappointed and returned to Japan.
But "The Huffington Post Japan" didn't disappoint us.
On May 7th, an event to commemorate the opening of "The Huffington Post Japan Version" was held in Tokyo. The event also featured the founder, Arianna Huffington. He talked about his enthusiasm for opening the company's first website in Asia.
And what was distributed to the participants as a souvenir at this event was the red and white buns. The word "Huffpo" written by the founder, Arianna Huffington, was also dazzling, "Huffpo Manju".

At first glance, this bun is packed in a box that seems to contain high-class chocolate. It's a great souvenir that makes it easy to see that you've been to the Huffington Post event.
At first glance, a box that seems to contain high-class chocolate. The word "The Huffington Post" is on the surface.

There are many American companies who bring American-specification products to Japan as they are and make a fool of themselves saying, "The reason why they cannot sell is because the Japanese market is strange!". Meanwhile, the Huffington Post landed with the Japanese spirit of giving red and white buns as souvenirs. I want to support you for a moment.
