Event Description:

We will embark on a journey of the Hong Kong based, 93 years old, family-run Koon Chun Sauce Factory - where its soy sauce and condiments are maneuvered between histories, cultures, and world powers (from Chairman Kim to Queen Victoria), to far corners of the world (from Boston to Africa).  Local soy sauce brewing process and global footprints of Hong Kong's unique culinary influence will be examined through different short stories, including recent COVID-19 challenges.

Daniel will be our tour guide and he is the 4th generation of Koon Chun. He received his master’s degree in Regional Studies - East Asia at Harvard. In the past few years, he has worked with other Harvard alumni to explore soy sauce industry’s cultural heritage in East Asia.
