Nearly everything about South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's first summit with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo will be scrutinised for signs of warmer bilateral ties, including a shared meal of a Tokyo classic called omurice.
Although many foreigners might associate Japanese cuisine with sushi or tempura, "yoshoku", or Western-influenced dishes such as omurice and tonkatsu , are more common fare on Japanese dinner tables.
Kishida and Yoon will reportedly share a more formal dinner of sukiyaki beforehand, but the real ice-breaker could be when they sit down for omurice, Kawabata said. Japan and South Korea are holding a summit for the first time in 12 years, seeking to mend relations that had deteriorated severely.
