Discovering the Delights of Japanese Konjac Cuisine at Nagomi Family Dining

Gurgaon, October 2024

Experiencing Japanese Konjac Dishes at Nagomi Family Dining by Aju Hospitality was a remarkable opportunity to delve into the art of traditional Japanese cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this unique vegetarian delicacy is crafted from Konjac potato, renowned for its exceptional dietary fiber content, specifically Glucomannan.



Tuganezawa Co. Ltd from Japan played a pivotal role in introducing this fascinating ingredient. Konjac is celebrated for being high in dietary fiber while remaining low in calories, making it a favorite among those looking to manage their weight, detoxify their bodies, or achieve radiant skin.


Glucomannan, the key dietary fiber found in the konjac bulb, transforms into a jelly-like texture during processing, providing a versatile ingredient for various dishes. Notably, only konjac bulbs cultivated in Japan possess this unique property, allowing them to solidify during preparation. The rising popularity of konjac has inspired other countries in Asia to begin cultivating these Japanese bulbs, further expanding its reach.


This tasting experience showcased konjac's culinary potential and highlighted its health benefits, making it a noteworthy addition to the world of modern dining.


During my visit to Nagomi Family Dining by Aju Hospitality, I had the pleasure of interacting with Prakash Yadav, the Founder Chairman of Aju Hotels. He provided valuable insights of Japanese dining in India.
