Japanese authors to publish a book about Uzbekistan’s national cuisine

The author of a number of books Moriya Kana from Japan and photographer Hiroko Hirota visited Uzbekistan with the aim of publishing a book about Uzbek cuisine. During their stay, Japanese guests visited Fergana, Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khorezm regions. They got acquainted with the tourist potential of our country. 

With the support of the State Committee for Tourism Development, the guests got acquainted with the national dishes of each region.

They were shown the gastronomic and tourism potential of Uzbekistan, its historical monuments and handicraft art. 

Moriya Kana praised the Uzbek cuisine:

“Dishes and sweets of Uzbekistan are colorful and tasty. Your cuisine is a clear testament to the hospitality of your people. It is also worth noting that each product used here is focused on improving human health. Your national gastronomy reflects not only the cuisine of the Uzbek people, but also the high culture, traditions and ancient history of Uzbekistan”. 

Kana said she will publish a book about Uzbek national cuisine based on the great interest of the Japanese people in our dishes and introduce them to Uzbekistan even closer.

Presentation of the book and photo galleries of the Japanese photographer Hiroko Hirota about Uzbek cuisine with involvement of the general public will take place in April next year.
