Producers in the Hiroshima area, each with their own proud culinary traditions, have spent months pushing for their ingredients to be included in four official meals over two days, with the summit host, prime minister Fumio Kishida, reportedly intervening to ensure that the menu reflected his personal tastes.
On Saturday, when Joe Biden will become the second sitting US president to visit the Peace Memorial Museum after , the working lunch will feature marinated salmon, Japanese rockfish and chicken ballotine, with a lemon semifreddo served with citrus cream and sake lees.inn on the nearby island of Miyajima, will open with a selection of seafood from the Seto inland sea, followed by a clear sea bream soup, with the main course of Hiroshima beef and eel sushi. A selection of traditional Hiroshima sweets will form the dessert..
Kishida, who represents a Hiroshima constituency, has reportedly been heavily involved in the choice of food, liaising with staff for the past six months to ensure that ingredients from the city and surrounding area are properly represented, according to TV Asahi, which added that the dishes would be served with local sake.
They include okonomiyaki, a carb-heavy street food to which Kishida is partial. His fellow leaders will be served a version made with oysters at a “social occasion” on Saturday, in between steamed tilefish rice and cheesecake with strawberry gelato.
