An immersive Japanese dining experience featuring exquisite sushi, grilled seafood, and authentic flavours at Tamra, says SAKSHI PRIYA

Itadakimasu!" - A traditional Japanese phrase expressing gratitude before a meal, perfectly captures the spirit of Tamra, Shangri-La Eros New Delhi's Wasabi Wednesday. This midweek dining experience is a celebration of authentic Japanese cuisine, bringing together meticulous craftsmanship, fresh ingredients, and a thoughtfully curated menu.

Japanese food has captivated diners worldwide, and its popularity in India has soared. The precision, balance, and aesthetic appeal of Japanese dishes make them not just a meal but an experience. The atmosphere on a Wednesday evening exudes authenticity. The staffs, dressed in traditional Shangri attire, enhance the immersive journey, transporting guests to a refined culinary space that honours Japanese heritage.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the evening was watching the chefs in action. The making of sushi is an art in itself; every cut, roll, and placement is deliberate, reflecting Japan's deep-rooted culinary traditions. Presented in a wooden boat, the sushi pays

celebrate to the country's maritime culture, where food and craftsmanship go hand in hand.

The Veg Yasai Futomaki was fresh and crisp, wrapped in perfectly seasoned rice and seaweed, while the Kanikama Roll, filled with delicate crab stick, delivered a satisfying umami depth. Served with freshly grated wasabi, pickled ginger, and a rich soy sauce, each bite brought a harmonious play of textures and flavours.

Beyond sushi, the menu offered an impressive selection of dishes. The Truffle Infused Yaki Udon Noodles had a velvety texture, with the truffle adding a luxurious earthiness. The Japanese Golden Curry was smooth and comforting, its mild spices pairing beautifully with fluffy steamed rice. For seafood lovers, the Sea Bass with Ponzu Miso delivered a bright citrusy tang, while the Golden Prawn Tempura with Green Tea Salt was crisp and delicately flavoured.

Every dish was plated with precision, making the meal as visually stunning as it was delicious. The sharp heat of the Wasabi, the deep umami of the miso, and the delicate sweetness of soy sauce all worked together to create an unforgettable dining experience.
