＜Event Highlights＞
Three Distinct Zones Offering a Deep Dive into Tokyo’s Culinary Culture
The event was organized into three themed areas: the Edo Zone, the Food Journey Zone, and the Tokyo Delicious Zone.
The Edo Zone featured traditional flavors rooted in Tokyo’s culinary history—offering sushi, grilled unagi(eel), tempura, and soba—giving visitors a taste of timeless Edo-era cuisine.
The Food Journey Zone showcased gourmet dishes from across Japan, highlighting regional specialties and offering guests a culinary tour of the country—all in one place.
The Tokyo Delicious Zone spotlighted the latest and most talked-about gourmet offerings from Tokyo, featuring restaurants at the forefront of the city’s contemporary food scene.
Each zone was filled with standout dishes that captured the essence of its theme.
Throughout the venue—and across social media—guests expressed their delight at being able to casually enjoy dishes from renowned, often fully-booked, high-end establishments.
This rare and accessible opportunity drew enthusiastic crowds and created a festive atmosphere across all three days.
A Fusion of Food and Entertainment: Live Performances Across Two Stages Brought Energy to the Entire Venue
This year’s event featured two dedicated performance stages, showcasing a wide variety of live acts—from jazz and classical music to other dynamic performances that energized the entire venue.
Guests of all ages—from children to adults—were often seen enjoying live music and entertainment while savoring their meals throughout the event. The fusion of rhythm and flavor created a vibrant, multisensory atmosphere that elevated the overall culinary experience.
A Family-Friendly Experience Enhanced with Family Priority Seating, Kid-Friendly Menus, and Educational Food Workshops
This year, the event placed a stronger focus on creating a welcoming environment for families with small children.
The introduction of “Family Priority Seating,” which allowed strollers to remain beside tables, along with kid-friendly menu options, made it easier for families to relax and enjoy their meals together.
Many families were seen dining comfortably throughout the venue, enjoying the warm and inclusive atmosphere.
Interactive parent-child workshops were also a big hit with visitors.
One standout was the “Conveyor belt HAZAI SUSHI” workshop, where participants used scrap materials to craft rotating sushi models—giving both kids and adults a fun way to learn about food culture and sustainability.
Authentic Sushi-Making Workshop Led by Professional Sushi Chefs
This year marked the first-ever appearance of the Sushi-Making Workshop, which quickly became a hit, especially among international guests.
Participants enjoyed rare opportunity to learn authentic nigiri（grip） techniques directly from a seasoned sushi chef with over 30 years of professional experience.
Attendees watched intently as the chef demonstrated expert hand movements, then carefully tried their own hand at forming each piece of sushi.
With focused expressions and great care, they shaped the rice, added the toppings, and enjoyed tasting their handmade sushi on the spot—making it a truly immersive and memorable experience.
