FUTIAN Shangri-La, Shenzhen is presenting the Japanese Cuisine Festival at its Cafe Zen through June 27. The hotel has invited a guest chef from Nadaman Restaurant at Kowloon Shangri-La, Hong Kong to join their staff for the festival. Both new and loyal patrons can savor authentic Japanese cuisine and traditional Japanese culture.

With over 20 years’ culinary experience, guest chef Tsuji Nobuo is skilled in the art of traditional Japanese cuisine and specializes in preparing authentic kaiseki and homemade sauces.

He started his career in the renowned Japanese restaurant Nadaman. His signature dishes include braised Japanese pork belly in traditional style, simmered fresh kinki fish from Hokkaido and a deluxe selection of sushi and sashimi imported fresh from around the globe.

“An old store that has always been unique without losing its originality” – that’s the Nadaman tradition of culinary art. Since 1830, the famous group of restaurants known as Nadaman have been treating discerning diners to sushi and fine kaiseki cuisine.

During the Japanese Cuisine Festival, the chef will prepare a variety of Japanese signature dishes, including homemade sesame tofu with fresh sea urchin, grilled sliced wagyu beef with kamo eggplant, grilled whole fresh lobster and much more. The sushi will be made with selected seasonal local and imported ingredients.

Apart from delicious dishes, Cafe Zen will present a series of activities. (Maggie Tang)
