Happy with the coming up of a Japanese only food restaurant in eastern India, serving delectable sushi dishes, Consul General Mitso Kawagachi says he hopes cuisine could connect people of two countries.
"Our Sushi dishes and your Machh Bhat can be the perfect ambassadors to warm the cockles of people in respective frontiers. I wish a Bengali restaurant comes up in Tokyo. I am aware of the delectable Bengali cuisine in your eating joints, popular with the visitors to this city. I believe there should be availability of more authentic Japanese cuisine here and vice versa," he said after the launch of AOI Station, the first ever Japanese only eating place in Kolkata and eastern India.
Celebrated chef Nakayama, having flown over from Tokyo to rustle up Sushi delicacies with Wasabe spices of Nippon land, "Our not so pungent taste spices you can savour from now on.
"We are importing the wassabe spices from Japan and we will make no compromise," Nakayama, who rated deep fired chicken and prawn preparations as having similarities between two Asian giants, said.
We are serving Sashimi, Yakitori, Donburi, Mushimono - all unconventional dishes apart from Sushi - and in a decor where visitors would be seated in typical Japanese 'Tatami' low sitting area of AOI, Nakayama, associated with a Tokyo based Japanese restaurant for long said.
Ranjana Ami Aar Asbona and Ami Aar Amar Girlfriends actor Parno Mitra said,"Being a foodie having frequented all the cuisine hubs in the city, I am happy with the coming up of the solely Japanese outlet. The ambience with paintings, floor mats, wall papers and enka strains wafting in air accentuates that feel.
