Gucci, Versace, Chanel, Jimmy Choo, the one thing that connects them all together is Luxury. They all are roofed under DLF Emporio in New Delhi, the one stop shop for luxury. So why should the luxury stop at clothing, footwear and accessories? Seven years after Morimoto entered Indian market, the famous Japanese restaurant and competitor to Morimoto, Megu is venturing into India.
It would be correct to comment that Wasabi by Morimoto set the moods and the palate for the Indians towards not just Japanese cuisine, but added a dash of finesse to dining. The once Executive Chef for Nobu, Chef Masaharu Morimoto made his name to fame with his own chain of restaurants called Morimoto in Tokyo, New York and Philadelphia and partnered with Taj Hotels to enter the Indian market. Years later, after Contemporary Japanese became the talk of the town in the metro cities, there were rumours of Nobu planning to tie up with Leela Hotels and open up in Delhi. But talks broke down, because Nobu does not open where a Morimoto exists. Fierce competition, I must say.
The CEO of Food Scope America, Mr. Hiro Nishida talks about his expansion plans in Moscow, Doha, India ( Delhi and Mumbai) after the two restaurants in US and one in Tokyo. They have tied up with Leela Hotels India to bring the restaurant in the two cities. The fact of the matter here is that Indians are understanding the concept of a Michelin Star Chef's and they want to let their palates explore new flavours, even if it come a little too pricey! I believe they do know how to differentiate their Hamachi from Kampachi.
Kampai to it shall we?
