All about the Ukrainian borsch knows the famous chef of Ukraine Yevgeny Klopotenko. He has been collecting borsch recipes in various regions of Ukraine for many years. Thanks to Yevgeny Klopotenko, borscht was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. In 2021, in support of the nationalization of Ukrainian borsch under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine, an action was held. Then 25 types of borschea were prepared according to the recipe of each region of Ukraine.



Today, the popularization of Ukrainian cuisine is happening all over the world. The main ideologist of this direction is still Yevgeny Klopotenko.

Recently, Yevgeny Klopotenko filed a request to Japan for the opening of a monorestaurant borscht. Today, Japan is one of the main supporters of Ukraine in countering Russian aggression. A very large number of Japanese support Ukrainians and want to know more about the culture of this people. In Japan, there are three books about the history and cooking of Ukraine in Japanese.



Recently, Evgeny Klopotenko published a response to his letter-request. Many Japanese consider borscht a Russian dish and therefore will react negatively to the opening of such a restaurant. Ukrainian Ambassador to Japan Sergey Korsunsky said that the Japanese had such an attitude two years ago. Today, the mood and concepts of the Japanese have changed a lot. Today in Japan there are many refugees from Ukraine, who talk about their culture and borscht. Takashi Hirano, a well-known Japanese journalist, confirmed that many Japanese did not share Ukrainian and Russian culture recently.
