Prepare to embark on an extraordinary culinary adventure as JW Marriott Bangkok tantalizes taste buds with an exclusive offering: “A Taste of Aichi.” From March 1 to April 20, 2025, Tsu Japanese Restaurant is transforming into a sanctuary for food enthusiasts eager to explore the robust and heartwarming flavors of Aichi Prefecture, Japan. At the helm of this epicurean expedition is the exceptionally talented Japanese Head Chef Atsushi Yoshida, who has curated a menu that transports diners directly to the heart of Japan’s rich culinary landscape, showcasing top-tier ingredients flown in from Japan.
Nestled in the central part of Japan, Aichi Prefecture is a treasure trove of gastronomic delights steeped in history. Celebrated for its traditional dishes like miso katsu, hitsumabushi, and kishimen noodles, the region’s cuisine offers both a glimpse into the resilience of the samurai era and a celebration of contemporary culinary luxury. With over two decades of experience in culinary arts, including stints in Michelin-starred kitchens, Chef Yoshida seamlessly marries authenticity with sophisticated skill, ensuring each dish vividly captures the soulful essence of Aichi.
The culinary journey opens with the tantalizing Kurobuta Pork Miso Katsu, highlighted by the rich, umami-packed Hatcho miso sauce—a specialty from Nagoya that boasts a maturation process spanning over two years. Next, the Hitsumabushi offers a delightfully interactive dining experience: enjoy the succulent, glazed charcoal-grilled eel over rice in three distinct ways for a truly personalized taste experience. Another standout dish, the Mikawa Wagyu Striploin Steak, is presented on a sizzling hot stone, elevating the sensory experience. For those seeking comfort, the Miso Nikomi Udon delivers a bowlful of soul-warming satisfaction, featuring slow-simmered wagyu beef tendon immersed in a deep miso broth. The culinary delight concludes with Tenmusu, a charming fusion of shrimp tempura nestled within a delicate rice ball, reminiscing the vibrant street food culture of Nagoya.
Beyond the exquisite gastronomy, “A Taste of Aichi” envelops diners in the cultural tapestry of Japan’s heartland. Experience the visual splendor of Aichi’s iconic landmarks, such as the historic Nishio Castle and the mesmerizing cherry blossoms, creating an ambiance that echoes Japan’s rich heritage and natural beauty.
This exclusive dining experience is a limited engagement available solely at Tsu Japanese Restaurant, JW Marriott Bangkok, from March 1 to April 20, 2025. A voyage for the senses awaits, inviting you to indulge in the magnificent flavors of Aichi.

I think traveling just to eat is a ridiculous concept. Can’t we just cook similar dishes at home?
True, but an experience like this is about the ambiance and authenticity, not just the food.
I can appreciate that, but isn’t it just a marketing gimmick to reel in tourists?
Not really. Some ingredients and techniques are unique to the region and hard to replicate elsewhere.
It’s not just about food; it’s about experiencing a new culture, too.
I’ve been to Aichi! The food is genuinely unique and worth trying in its authentic setting.
I think these culinary events are just overpriced hype.
Perhaps, but some people value quality and authenticity over cost.
I agree somewhat, but they bring top-tier chefs and authentic ingredients. That’s worth something.
Still, it’s hard to justify flights and hotels just for a meal. I’d rather explore Bali!
The connection to the samurai era is fascinating! Did you know that Hatcho miso has been made the same way for over 600 years?
That’s interesting! Traditional foods really bring history to life.
Yes! That deep historical connection makes the food even richer.
It sounds like a delightful experience! I’ve never heard of some of these dishes before.
All this fancy dining… what about people who can’t afford such luxuries?
There will always be those who can and those who cannot. It’s simply the way of the world.
I wish more establishments focused on accessibility and inclusivity.
True, but each restaurant has the right to decide their market and pricing.
I love these types of events! They let you explore a slice of another world without leaving your city.
Isn’t microwaving some instant ramen and adding an egg close enough? 😂
Not even remotely the same, but I respect the budget-friendly option.
Events like these bring countries closer together through shared cultural experiences!
Absolutely! This kind of cultural exchange enriches everyone involved.
Cherry blossoms and Japanese food sounds like a romantic date idea. I’m booking it!
All this hype over some food sounds overblown but each to their own, I guess.
People have different tastes and interests. It’s not just about the food itself, but the whole package.
I just hope they cater to vegetarians. Japanese cuisine can sometimes forget about us.
I’m sure they’d have a few options. Root for the vegetable tempura!
A chef’s perspective: these events showcase skill and innovation. I’ve learned a lot from participating in them.
That’s amazing! But do they really capture the true essence of everyday eating in Japan?
Not entirely, but they’re a good start for introducing the cuisine to newcomers.
