‘Vietnam Phở Festival 2023’ to bring essence of Vietnam to Japan: Japanese chef
The Vietnam Phở Festival 2023 , slated for this weekend in Tokyo, Japan, aims to build global recognition for Vietnamese culinary culture by bringing cuisine which embodies the essence of Vietnam to Japan, Matsuo Tomoyuki, chairman of the Japan-Vietnam Cuisine Association, told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper.
