South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has a penchant for a certain Japanese dish, and the government of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida knows just the place to treat him to it -- even if it means going against established practice.
When Yoon comes to Japan this week, the government plans to accommodate his request for a dish of rice omelet by holding a special after-party following their official dinner on Thursday. It is quite unusual for the government to hold such a second gathering.
Several government sources said that the after-party is likely to take place at Rengatei in Ginza, Tokyo, a popular and long-established restaurant specializing in yoshoku, or Japnese-style Western dishes.
