Japanese Man Tries Japanese Food In Delhi

Kaito, who goes by the username @kslto on Instagram, is a Japanese traveller exploring different countries and cities around the world. He often shares snippets from his travel experiences. Recently, he uploaded a video of himself trying authentic Japanese food at Sukiya in Nehru Place, New Delhi. The restaurant is known for serving chicken bowls, ramen bowls, Japanese curry rice, and much more. Kaito captioned his video, “Trying a Japanese food in India today.”

He tried two dishes from Sukiya’s signature menu: two types of Japanese chicken bowls, both in regular size, for just ₹659, which is quite affordable. He also picked up a small bowl of chilli sauce and mentioned that he didn’t know what it was but guessed it must be a kind of spicy sauce.

As he started eating, he said, “It’s a regular size, but I think it’s a little huge,” pointing to its generous quantity. He revealed that he expected the portion to be smaller, but after tasting it, he clearly liked both bowls. He rated one 9/10 and the other 8/10, adding, “The rice is really good.” That’s a huge compliment for Sukiya, coming from a Japanese man! He further wrote, “Everyone should go to Sukiya.”
