HIGASHI-YAMA Tokyo Mail News

This email is sent to guests who have dined with us at HIGASHI-YAMA Tokyo and our affiliated restaurants, and also those who have registered from our website.

Against the vast, clear autumn skies is a colorful patchwork of changing leaves, signaling a shift in the seasons. We hope this finds you well and enjoying the beautiful autumn days.

It is during autumn that the ears of rice turn golden yellow, now ready for harvest, and all over Japan festivals are held to give thanks for the bountiful crop. Among them is the highly important ritual offering of newly-harvested rice to the deities during the Kannamesai celebration (also known as Kannashogatsu), held at the Imperial Court and Ise Jingu in October every year.

This year, favorable weather soon after planting has resulted in especially delicious and high-quality rice. When you join us this month at HIGASHI-YAMA Tokyo, you will be able to feast on delicious fresh-crop rice as well as many seasonal ingredients sourced from all over Japan.

We are looking forward to your visit.

Taste of Autumn Special Menu

Autumn is the season of plenty. In the hills and dales spectacular with autumn foliage, mushrooms abound and trees hang heavy with ripe nuts, berries and fruits. And the cooler sea temperatures yield catches of delicious and succulent seafood.

We have prepared a ‘Taste of Autumn’ special menu, so that we can serve you the freshest seasonal flavors straight from the pan. Dishes and preparation styles vary with availability of ingredients, so please ask our staff for details when you join us to dine this month.

Taste of Autumn Special Menu ¥3,500〜
Served from October 1st to 31st.

Duck meatballs in clear soup

Duck has long had special significance for the Japanese as indicated by the well-known phrase kamo no aji, translated literally as “the flavor of duck”, but broadly used to describe especially good or delicious things. As the days get colder, the umami of duck grows stronger. Our tender, savory duck meatball dish showcases the rich flavor of duck meat and the melt-in-your-mouth texture of duck fat. We hope you enjoy it!

Duck meatballs in clear soup ¥1,600
Served from October 1st to 16th.

Multi-grain rice casserole

Sprouted whole grains, known as hatsuga zakkoku in Japanese, are grown in the Daisetsuzan region of Hokkaido nurtured by plentiful underground water that results from the snow thaw each year. These grains are one of the wonderful ingredients we came across when we visited Hokkaido for FOOD NIPPON 2014 (Autumn and Winter) – our series of seasonal events focused on "rediscovering Japanese food culture". In this dish, we combine sprouted whole grains with richly aromatic mushrooms and a smooth, delicate soy milk white sauce, top it all with grated cheese and lightly grill it just before serving. Daisetsuzan has already seen the first snow of the season, and as autumn deepens, we recommend this tasty dish, which will warm you from the inside.

Multi-grain rice casserole ¥1,300
Served from October 17th to 31st.
