| Japanese Food Festival At Fujiyama, Avari Towers Hotel. From 7th to 16th December |
I was super excited when I heard that there will an event
about Japanese food and my excitement touched its height when I came to know
that it will be at Avari Towers. The reason was simple, I have gone there
multiple times with my family and friends and found its dining areas including
Dynasty and Asia Live very convincing. So, on the first day of the event I went
there and to my surprise the decent décor, exotic cuisine and staff dressed up
in traditional costumes truly represented the culture of Japan at the Japanese
Food Festival held at Fujiyama restaurant, Avari Towers Hotel in Karachi.
The festival was inaugurated by Consul-General
of Japan in Karachi Mr. Toshikazu Isomura, along with his wife, Deputy
Consul-General of Japan Mr. Katsunori Ashida, and Mr. Grant Raubenheimer VP
Operation Avari Towers. It is a 10 days long food gala from 7th to 16th
December 2018.
Fujiyama is a classic restaurant serving traditional Japanese
food with authentic aroma and flavours. It is not only the food but also the
location that entice its guests. The sky rise view on the top floor of 17 story
Avari Towers gives you enormous panorama to enjoy city of lights’ beauty. The
restaurant has earned a status of a perennial place for elaborate Japanese menu,
serving a wide range of Sashimi, delectable appetizers, bona fide Japanese
dishes and variety of sweet-treats.
The buffet style dinner was set up so that diners can move
along the buffet line and serve themselves as per their choice. The grilling
tables were also arranged behind the buffet counter where Chef Carlito Magno
was all ready to show his Live cooking skills.
However the highlight of the day was clicked when Deputy
Consul-General of Japan Mr. Katsunori Ashida started demonstrating his culinary
skills by showcasing the slicing techniques of a fish for sushi assembling. It
was the most exciting phase of my dinner.
I started my dinner by serving myself with Miso Soup. The Seafood
Clear Soup was also there but I preferred Miso as it is my favourite. After
that I selected some of the cold and hot appetizers including Mixed Sushi,
Sashimi, Maki, Gyu Tataki, Agedashi Tofu and Ebi Tempura. The taste of Sushi
was excellent, it melted in mouth and gave a feeling of satisfaction for my
taste-buds.

For the main course,
I filled my palate with Tori Katsu (Chicken Katsu), Sakana Katsu (Fish
Katsu), Gyu Katsu (Beef Katsu), and Tori Teriyaki (Chicken Teriyaki). All the
fired food was truly crunchy and the flavor was superb.
I also tried garlic fried rice with combinations of
different Teppanyaki dishes including Ebi (prawn), Gyu (beef) and Tori
(chicken) teppanyaki. For veggies lover there was Yasai Itame (Stir Fry
Vegetables) with a sauce.
Verdict
Over all, I would say that it was a wonderful experience of
authentic Japanese food and comfy ambience. You must visit this festival to
enjoy delicious Sushi, sizzling seafood and mouthwatering tempura delights. The
Fujiyama style serving with radiating refinement and peaceful atmosphere will give
you the greatest foodie experience.
