Today was our first day visiting customers. We spent the morning talking about our product offering with sales people from our distributor, Murakami. This afternoon we took the bullet train about an hour north of Tokyo to visit Fuji Heavy Industries. Seating is assigned, like on an airplane, and my seat was between a Japanese business man and an older woman. The woman, who could not speak any English, offered me a portion of her food, which looked like a cake of rice wrapped in seaweed with some sort of meat in the middle. I politely declined.
The visit to Fuji was interesting. Our distributor representative, Yuishi, explained the portions of the various aircraft that Fuji manufacturers including portions of the 747, 777, and soon the 787. After a search for the correct air fittiing, Steve demonstrated two of our new drills. Due to airflow restrictions they didn't operate quite correctly, but he did a good job improvising and troubleshooting and explaining the operation to the customers.
Tonight we are all going out for tempura for dinner with the folks Murakami. That should be fun.
Here are today's pics..
