Sushi is not only a common dish but also a cultural symbol, associated with Japanese history, he said, adding that the event is expected to help the Vietnamese public gain more understanding about sushi as well as Japanese culinary culture.
Visitors have a chance to explore the activities of a sushi shop in Japan and types of sushi, and learn how to make some popular sushi dishes.
