WWCOTY delegation travels to Korea to present KIA with the World’s Best Car award

July. Three jury members of Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year were invited to Korea to present the trophy to Kia for the Kia EV9 winning the 2024 supreme award.

The judges – Shereen Shabnam from UAE, Nicole Wakelin from the USA and Sandy Myhre from New Zealand, presented the trophy to Mr Teckkoun Kim, Head of Kia Design Next Group at the Busan International Mobility Show.

It was clear that winning the award was significant to Kia and Mr Kim commented that the win will help the recognition of the EV9. “It gives another twist to customers when juries like yours recognize the EV9 because you are the experts and you know which EV or vehicle works for the consumer experience,” he said.

WWCOTY delegation was also interviewed for Kia’s official social media channels including YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.  Excerpts from the interview will likely be used in a promotional video collaboration with Bloomberg Media and will be featured on their websites.

The three Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year jury members were also the subject of an extensive television interview by Michael Choo of Kia Brand Communications. The theme of the interview was ‘How Kia EV9 became the supreme winner of the WWCOTY award’.

Sandy Myhre (NZ) gave a short history of the awards and discussed how many jury members there are today.  She emphasised the rigorous process adopted by the voting system and said, in the end, the EV9 was a clear winner for 2024.

Shereen Shabnam (UAE) discussed the various unique design aspects of the EV9 from the lowered hipline which creates better vision from inside the car to the ‘star’ cluster headlights which are another unique feature of the SUV.

Nicole Wakelin (USA) talked about the wheel design which, again, is unique and how the sporty spoke image produces an interesting geometric graphic on the surface of the wheel.

All three judges spoke of the significance of the WWCOTY Award and what it will mean to Kia customers around the world.

Ramadan in Japan and the UAE: A Culinary Fusion at Sumo Sushi & Bento

Leave a comment

Fostering Community Through Food for Mutual Respect and Understanding

In the Land of the Rising Sun, where Shintoism and Buddhism are the main spiritual guides, the Islamic holy month of Ramadan shines as a beacon of cultural harmony, observed by a vibrant Muslim community. This spirit of unity and tradition transcends continents, finding a home in the UAE through the innovative culinary offerings of Sumo Sushi & Bento. 

As a testament to the power of cultural exchange, Sumo Sushi & Bento embraces the unique blend of Islamic traditions and Japanese cuisine, crafting a Ramadan experience that resonates with both Japanese expatriates and the local population in the UAE.

Ramadan in Japan is characterized by a strong community spirit, despite the challenges of limited halal food access and fewer mosques. In the UAE, Sumo Sushi & Bento captures this essence by creating an inclusive atmosphere where Muslims can gather to break their fast with ‘Iftar’ parties. These gatherings are more than just meals; they are opportunities for Muslims to share experiences, strengthening bonds over dishes that marry Japanese culinary art with traditional Ramadan fare.

Sumo Sushi & Bento’s food selection for Ramadan is a celebration of this cultural fusion. The menu features “Sumo” inspired meals that integrate the Muslim culture of Japan with preferences prevalent in the UAE. Traditional Iftar ingredients like dates and Middle Eastern snacks are seamlessly blended with Japanese staples such as sushi, tempura, and miso soup. This harmonious blend not only caters to the tastes of Japanese Muslims but also appeals to the UAE’s diverse palate, striking the perfect balance between authenticity and innovation.

The respect for different cultures and religions that is deeply ingrained in Japanese society is mirrored in the operations of Sumo Sushi & Bento. The restaurant actively promotes a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Muslim faith during Ramadan by inviting non-Muslims to partake in Iftar meals. This initiative fosters a more inclusive and harmonious community, echoing the mutual respect and curiosity that pave the way for societal cohesion.

The celebration of Ramadan in Japan and its extension into the UAE through Sumo Sushi & Bento is a beautiful illustration of cultural exchange and mutual respect. The restaurant’s innovative approach to blending Japanese cuisine with traditional Ramadan dishes offers a unique dining experience that resonates with the values of community, understanding, and charity. As societies grow increasingly multicultural, Sumo Sushi & Bento stands as a reminder of the beauty of diversity and the importance of fostering an inclusive environment where every meal shared is a step towards unity.
