How would you comment on the first sushi competition in Turkmenistan?

- Here is my great pleasure to see the first sushi competition in Turkmenistan. When I came to Ashgabat three years ago there were few sushi services, but now more than thirty restaurants in Ashgabat. Japanese food culture sushi is widely spreading in Turkmenistan. This is a very nostalgic heritage and Turkmen chefs make sushi very correct. This is a very famous culture in the world and I respect Turkmen sushi chefs.

- Japanese food culture is one of the healthiest foods in the world. Are there any special gifts for winner chefs of sushi competition?

- Of course, we will respect the winner chef very much and I will invite the winner chef to my residence. There is my chef, and they can exchange the view and this is a good idea.

- How do you evaluate Turkmenistan and Japan relationships?

I told that I came here three years ago. Before that in 2015 the visit prime minister Shinzo Abe. Also, president G. Berdimuhamedov visited Japan. Not only gas and oil relationships but also business, culture and education relationships improving. Last three years our relationship very expanding and President Berdimuhamedov visited a Japan four times. Two weeks ago, the President Berdimuhamedov visited our Imperator. These are the results of our good relationships. I very thank you for the President of Turkmenistan and Turkmen people for giving attention to Japan.
