Food lovers in Guwahati can now experience traditional Japanese gastronomy as Radisson Blu Guwahati presents its specialized culinary festival titled 'Sakura & Spirits – Autumn Kaiseki Nights'. Hosted at the hotel's prominent Asian dining venue, Nestasia, the limited-time promotion runs from September 8 to September 20. The event offers guests an opportunity to explore the refined art of Japanese Kaiseki dining, where every dish is crafted to reflect balance, seasonal freshness, harmony, and visual elegance.
A Multi-Course Experience Inspired by Autumn
The multi-course meal follows a carefully organized progression of textures and flavours, bringing authentic Japanese culinary philosophy to the table. The epicurean journey starts with grilled Matsutake mushroom accented with tangy ponzu, paired alongside a light yuzu-infused gin and tonic. This opening course is followed by a clear broth featuring fresh tofu and crisp autumn greens.
As the meal progresses, guests are treated to a seasonal sashimi platter highlighting fresh seafood, followed by a classic grilled teriyaki dish. The experience also includes a comforting bowl of shiitake chawanmushi, a savory Japanese egg custard infused with mushrooms. The main savory courses conclude with warm chestnut rice served with classic miso soup and traditional Japanese pickles.
To end the dinner on a sweet note, the kitchen team has curated a delicate dessert course featuring persimmon jelly and matcha cheesecake, harmonizing traditional ingredients with contemporary techniques.
Crafted Japanese Cocktails and Pairings
Alongside the curated multi-course menu, the culinary team at Nestasia has created a beverage menu highlighting traditional Japanese spirits and distinct flavour profiles. Guests can choose from a range of bespoke cocktails tailored to complement each stage of the dinner.
The beverage lineup features the Autumn Negroni, mixed with Roku Gin, vermouth, and fresh orange peel. Whiskey enthusiasts can try the Whisky Plum Sour, which combines premium Yamazaki whisky with plum liqueur and citrus elements. For a lighter, refreshing option, the Matcha Gin Fizz combines Ki No Bi gin, matcha syrup, and sparkling soda water.
Highlighting the vision behind this promotion, Gurmeet Randhawa, General Manager at Radisson Blu Guwahati, shared that the hotel aims to deliver dining experiences that go beyond ordinary meals. He noted, "We wanted to bring our guests closer to the elegance and philosophy of Japanese cuisine." He added that every course and ingredient in the menu serves a clear purpose.
