Aichi prefecture’s culinary heritage comes to life in Bangkok
A Taste of Aichi - A limited-time experience at Tsu Japanese Restaurant, JW Marriott Bangkok
JW Marriott Bangkok presents A Taste of Aichi, a limited-time culinary showcase at Tsu Japanese Restaurant from March 1 to April 20.
Japanese Head Chef Atsushi Yoshida brings the authentic flavours of Aichi prefecture to Bangkok, featuring a menu that highlights the region’s culinary heritage with ingredients imported directly from Japan.
Aichi Prefecture in central Japan is rich in history, craftsmanship, and cuisine. Famous for its bold yet comforting flavours, it is home to culinary treasures like miso katsu, hitsumabushi, and kishimen noodles, all of which hold a deep cultural significance.
Chef Atsushi Yoshida, with over 26 years of experience in top kitchens across Japan, Hong Kong, the UK, and the Philippines, brings this legacy to life with a menu that honours the traditional flavours of Aichi.
Having trained in Michelin-starred establishments and mastered the intricate techniques of sushi, kaiseki, and teppanyaki, Chef Yoshida infuses his expertise into each dish, balancing authenticity with refined craftsmanship.
His menu highlights Aichi flavours, elevated with premium ingredients imported directly from the region, offering diners an experience deeply rooted in tradition and elegantly presented.
Diners can savour specialties such as Kurobuta Pork Miso Katsu, featuring Hatcho miso sauce, a signature of Nagoya cuisine, or Hitsumabushi, a time-honoured dish of glazed eel over rice, meant to be enjoyed in three unique ways.
Other highlights include the signature Mikawa Wagyu striploin steak, served on a hot stone with dipping sauces, and Miso Nikomi Udon, a robust dish with slow-simmered wagyu beef tendon in a deep, umami-rich miso broth.
Chef Yoshida presents Tenmusu to complete the experience. This beloved Nagoya street food blends crispy shrimp tempura with a delicate rice ball wrapped in nori.
Central to some of these dishes is Hatcho Miso, an ingredient produced for over 400 years and deeply rooted in Aichi’s history and samurai tradition. During the Sengoku Period, the samurai of Aichi Prefecture, among Japan’s most formidable warriors, relied on miso as an unexpected secret weapon.
The protein-rich, long-lasting Hatcho Miso, sustained troops in battle and played a vital role in military and economic pursuits.
Beyond the flavours, A Taste of Aichi invites guests to immerse themselves in the spirit of the prefecture. Visual displays throughout the restaurant will showcase various Aichi’s iconic attractions, from the historic Nishio Castle to the iconic cherry blossoms, creating a setting that transports diners to Japan’s cultural heartland.
This exclusive dining journey celebrates Aichi’s food heritage and showcases its culinary craftsmanship and culture in an immersive experience, available at Tsu Japanese Restaurant from March 1 to April 20.
Tsu Japanese Restaurant at JW Marriott Bangkok is open for lunch from 11.30am to 2.30pm (Monday to Friday) and from 11.30am to 3.30pm (Saturday to Sunday), and for dinner from 5.30pm to 10pm (daily).
