At the opening ceremony, Mr. Ono Masuo, Consulate General of Japan in Ho Chi Minh City shared that: “As the only Japanese-branded five-star hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Hotel Nikko Saigon has consistently provided guests with the warmth and hospitality of Japan. This Japanese Food Fair aims to showcase the appeal of Japanese food culture, offering a wide variety of dishes, not only iconic dishes such as sushi, sashimi, and tempura, but also sukiyaki, ramen, udon, soba, and robatayaki. Furthermore, ingredients, seasonings, and beverages from 13 Japanese companies in Vietnam will be used in the menu. I hope that this fair will allow many people to enjoy a variety of Japanese foods.
In addition, the hotel is hosting a fair commemorating the 45th anniversary of the Doraemon feature film. On this occasion, children can also enjoy Doraemon decorations and movies, as well coloring books in the kids’ corner across from the restaurant.
Taste of Japan is more than a culinary journey; it is a celebration of Japanese culture, artistry, and tradition!
