“Japan is at the forefront as one of Singapore’s top choices for vacation and culinary appreciation. Despite saturated interest, there is a lack of Japan-centric events in Singapore.<\/p>\n

We want to fill the gap and provide a wholesome environment for this growing demographic and be especially attentive towards organising family-friendly activities for the young and the old.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are grateful that the Japanese restaurants, prefectural government offices and companies we connected with were encouraged by our event concept and promptly pledged their participation.

WA-SHIOK GOURMET FESTA EXHIBITORS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fuku-yoshi<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"Voted as one of the top 50 Japanese chefs by European Monde Selection in\u00a02016, the chef, with his main outlet in Kanagawa Prefecture, has spent years\u00a0formulating the most delicious Hamburg steak using Hokkaido\u2019s Kuroge Wagyu.<\/p>\n

Bistro Ryu (Hakata)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"Black curry is unique and gaining popularity in Japan. Based in Hakata City, Bistro\u00a0Ryu\u2019s own concoction is created by simmering pork & chicken broth overnight\u00a0which brings out the richness of Japanese curry.<\/p>\n

Shibaura Genghis Khan<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"Shibaura Genghis Khan has become a gourmet name in Hokkaido.
