Seven chefs from the UK, who travelled to Japan as part of the British Hospitality Association’s Seven Samurai competition, have completed their nationwide gastronomic tour, the Daily Mail reported on 5 March.
They visited Tsukiji Fish Market, food stalls in Osaka, a soy sauce factory, a bonito fish smokehouse, and a dive site where women hunt for abalone. The chefs also undertook training in making tempura, sashimi and dried seaweed.
Having returned to the UK, the chefs are competing to create a dish for All Nippon Airway’s new business class menu.
