Gastro Japo Food Week 2025 Celebrates Japanese Cuisine with 40 Participating Establishments
The Japa โคGastro Club is hosting Gastro Japo Food โฃWeek, a ten-day event dedicated to showcasingโ the breadth of Japanese cuisine, from traditional wagashi and yogashi to Western-style pastries with โJapanese inspiration. โคThis year’s event features specially designed menus at participating locations.
Bistro Tokyo, for example, is offering dishes like Daigaku Imo (sweet sweet potato with black sesame), Ganmodaki (Tofu Mini Hamburger), Kushikatsu (friedโค skewers in japanese Panko), pickles, sushi, and cocktails featuring sake and green tea.
A new addition to this year’s event is POP โUPS COLLABORATIVE, where different participants will join forcesโ to offer unique menus combining their styles and specialties. The โคJapa Gastro Club aims to recreate the atmosphere of a Japanese Izakaya, “where colleagues โขand friends โคcome together after work โคto relax, chat and enjoy good food.”
The โขevent has been recognized for its cultural contribution, being declared an Event of Cultural โInterest by the Legislature of the Autonomous City of Buenos โฃAires.
Gastro Japoโข Food โweek also โincludes an international component, with a Japanese business mission โorganized by the โInternationalโค Cooperation Agency of Japan (JICA).โค Thisโ mission aims to strengthen gastronomic and commercial ties between Japan and Argentina,presentingโค key โขproducts like Sake,whiskey,soy sauce,and vinegars to local entrepreneurs and distributors.
The eventโ has the support of the Cultural and Informative Center of the Japan embassy in Argentina. “Weโข want more Argentines to discover the richness of ourโค culture throughโฃ food. Each dish, โeach โขsakeโข cup, is a way of bringing Japan closer to everyone’s table,” stated the Club President of Gastro Japo.
This year, 40 restaurants, coffee shops, pastries and delivery services are participating, offering special menusโ and activities. Alongside Kira beer, theseโฃ 40 establishments form the core of the Gastro Japo Food Week experiance.
