Indian Athletes Introduced to Japanese Cuisine Ahead of Asian Games for Dietary Adaptation
Ahead of the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, the Sports Authority of India (SAI) Southern Centre in Bengaluru has introduced traditional Japanese dishes into athletes' daily meals. This initiative aims to help athletes acclimate to local cuisine and prevent nutrition-related issues experienced in past international events like Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024. The menu features items such as Uramaki, Charred Hamachi, Shoyu Chicken Broth, and Udon Noodles, with a phased approach to gradually transition athletes' diets. Executive Chef V Jeyaraj leads the effort to replicate about 90 food profiles expected at the Games Village.
