Have you ever had Georgian food?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kanazawa is the only place in Japan that specializes in Georgian cuisine, which is rare in Japan, so I’ll try to introduce it to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of Georgian food is there?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Georgian cuisine is characterized by its rich flavor and aroma due to the abundant use of cheese, herbs, fruits, and walnuts. In fact, there are quite a few dishes that suit the Japanese palate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me introduce three unique dishes. All of them are available at \u300cBistro Pazapa\u300d, so be sure to give them a try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National dish \u300cHachapuri\u300d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s a bread made with cheese, but there are many variations and many snacks. It is the national dish of Georgia. Ajarlihachapuri, topped with an egg, is a popular dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u300cShkumerli\u300d, a garlic-laden bird dish<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A punchy chicken dish cooked thoroughly in a sauce of butter, olive oil, milk, salt and pepper, and lots of garlic. The sauce is usually eaten with bread. Oh, it’s absolutely delicious already, isn’t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spicy dumpling-like \u300chingkali\u300d.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is Georgia’s version of dumplings with ground meat wrapped in a flour skin. The dumplings are squeezed to make them look like a dumpling, and are eaten after absorbing the meat juices first. There is also a fried version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
