The event, which is  part of the Japanese Cultural Exchange Festival 2018, will be held by the Ha Noi Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Center to mark the 45th anniversary of Vietnam-Japan diplomatic ties.

At the event, Japanese artisans will introduce their traditional cuisines such as soba, tempura, sushi, yakisoba, and takoyaki.

In addition, 10 booths of Ha Noi will introduce special cuisine from Viet Nam, including pho, bun thang(hot rice noodle soup), nem ran (fried spring roll), banh cuon (stuffed pancake), banh khuc (Vietnamese spinach sticky rice balls), and banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich), and others.

Additionally, a series of performances, including traditional dances and an exhibition on traditional Japanese handicraft products, will also be held during the programme.

The event aims to further enhance Vietnamese people’s understanding of the Japanese culture and strengthen the friendship and mutual understanding between the two nations.

Currently, Japan is the third largest visitor-generating market for Viet Nam’s tourism after China and the Republic of  Korea.
