TIANJIN, CHINA - 3 September, 2009 – More than 100 invited guests at the Kushi Grill opening event at the Radisson Plaza Hotel Tianjin were in for a mouth-watering gastronomical feast by Japanese chef Uehara Toshiyasu.
Hailing from Tokyo, Japan with more than 24 years of culinary experience and specialising in Kaiseki, sushi and seafood dishes, chef Toshiyasu’s special menu at the Kushi Grill includes superior beef sirloin with seasonal vegetables on teppanyaki, using kobe beef from Japan. The sliced strips of beef reveal the beautiful marbling that Kobe beef is reputed for, while the Kushi Grill skewer platter is served with a special secret sauce which explodes with different tastes coming together as one.
Inspired by a Japanese Robatayaki but offering a mix of Western and Asian delicacies, the Kushi Grill’s must have signature dish is the Foie gras Chawamushi. The combination of foie gras and steamed eggs topped with fish roe immediately melts in your mouth, and is the perfect marriage between French and Japanese cuisine.
The Kushi Grill sets the tone for a memorable and personalised dining experience with its easy elegance setting with an open grill at the centre of the restaurant, where an enticing selection of Japanese grilled meat and seafood dishes are prepared. Tatami providing more private dining space is also available throughout the restaurant for diners seeking a more intimate and exclusive dining atmosphere.
Grand Opening of Kushi Grill Restaurant The grand opening of the Kushi Grill was officiated through a ribbon cutting ceremony by Mr. Kjell Rognoy, general manager, Radisson Plaza Hotel Tianjin and Mr. Murase, president of the Japanese Association in Tianjin. Guests were also invited to write and hang their wishes for Kushi Grill on a green bamboo wish tree at the hotel, while the night was spent feasting on the delicacies created by chef Toshiyasu with Geishas’ entertaining guests to the tune of the Japanese theme night.
