The spread includes delectable items like:
1. Hakata Mentai (Spicy Cod Roe)
From the Hakata district of Fukuoka city, this famous spicy cod roe
is taken as an accompaniment and is delicious with rice, sushi or
mixed into dishes for that “pop” in texture and
flavour.
2. Amami Keihan (Rice with Chicken &
Broth)
Hearty
dish of shredded chicken, egg, spring onions on rice and served
with savoury broth from the Amami district of
Kagoshima.
3. Awabi (Abalone)
Japanese
abalone is prized for their delicate sweet flavours and subtle hint
of the sea. Beautiful as sashimi (with its firm crunchy texture)
and is also favoured for Teppanyaki.
4. Ika (Squid)
One
of the specialties of Kyushu is fresh sashimi of squid. Thinly
sliced, it looks like strips of white translucent noodles and is
highly enjoyable with a light dip in Japanese soy
sauce.
5.
Karashi Renkon (Lotus Root
with Mustard Miso)
Sliced lotus root stuffed
with a special paste of miso and mustard and deep fried. Crispy,
spicy with a touch of sweet-savoury from the
miso.

This
popular Japanese spongecake is a Nagasaki specialty and is said to
have been brought in by Portuguese merchants in the 16th century.
Made of sugar, flour and eggs, this is commonly found at festivals
and enjoyed as tea time snacks. Enjoy its “chewy”
texture.

Tuna).
This
delicious tuna flown in from Kyushu is highly recommended for
sashimi fans, and is loved for its delicate texture and
taste.
