ABURI Market, a standout in premium Japanese grocery concepts, is about to make waves in West Vancouver with a grand festival to celebrate its first anniversary on June 10, 2023.
The ABURI Phenomenon
Since its launch in 2022, ABURI Market, masterminded by ABURI Restaurants Canada (Miku, Minami, Aburi Hana, etc.), has been a trailblazer in delivering authentic and fresh Japanese meals to the masses.
Known for their delectable ready-to-eat bentos and bowls, finish-at-home meal kits, and exclusive cooking sauces, the ABURI Market journey is one of culinary exploration, led by their team of expert product specialists.
Nestled at 1350 Marine Drive, this one-stop-shop for all things Japanese has also garnered attention for its range of lifestyle products, spanning everything from tableware to apparel.
Experience the ABURI Magic
For this year’s anniversary festival, ABURI Market is going all out, promising an immersive experience in Japanese culture and cuisine. Imagine tasting the premium Iwate A5 Wagyu or savoring the delicate flavors of hand-rolled temaki while you explore the market’s vast offerings.
Interactive food demonstrations, a traditional Japanese Taiko drum performance, and even an origami-making station are on the agenda. The festival promises to be as much of a feast for the eyes and the soul as it is for the palate.
The event begins at 12 p.m. with a warm welcome from Nakamura and continues until 6 p.m. The first 100 lucky customers also get to take home a special ABURI ramen soup bowl, a perfect memento of this special occasion.
But the festival isn’t the only thing ABURI Market has to offer. The team has recently launched online order pick-up services and delivery through UberEats, so even if you can’t make it to the event, you can still enjoy their exquisite culinary offerings at home.
The Vision Behind ABURI
The driving force behind the ABURI concept, Seigo Nakamura, emphasizes the importance of creating not just a business, but a culture and a community. His innovation in combining traditional Japanese flame-searing techniques with the rich, creamy sauces of French cuisine has put ABURI cuisine on the global food map.
Seigo’s philosophy of ‘Ningenmi,’ referring to outstanding human qualities such as sincerity, thoughtfulness, and passion, is at the heart of the ABURI experience. As the market turns one, this ethos of heartfelt service and commitment to quality shines through.
Seigo and the ABURI team recently announced their partnership with WestBank to bring Toronto Michelin Starred Aburi Hana to Vancouver.
Mark your calendars for June 10th and get ready to immerse yourself in a uniquely Japanese culinary and cultural experience at ABURI Market’s first anniversary festival.
