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 to those who have registered from our website.

While we are finally beginning to see signs of spring, we hope you have been doing well
as the weather remains cold and continues to fluctuate.

There are many thoughts on the etymology of the Japanese word for spring, haru, since its phonetic
reading can be linked to various kanji characters. Some claim that it comes from the kanji that
means to prepare fields for vegetation, while others argue that it stems from the kanji defined
by the sprouting of plant buds, or from the kanji that refers to skies becoming clear.
In any case, all theories convey the notion of the spring winds arriving to thaw away any remaining
snow and make way for vitality.

We invite you to overcome the lingering winter conditions by joining us at HIGASHI-YAMA Tokyo
where we will introduce you to a wide variety of dishes using ingredients to warm you up,
such as root vegetables and pork, as well as seasonal ingredients that welcome the beginning
of spring, including butterbur flower stalks and bamboo shoots.

We hope to see you soon.

Makkarimura is an agricultural village located in Hokkaido that boasts the most abundant
and high-quality production of lily bulbs in Japan. The lily bulbs are stored in sawdust each winter
to maximize sweetness and then returned to soil, a process that requires extremely diligent work
and is repeated over several years. We invite you to come try the naturally gentle flavor and
smooth texture of these lily bulbs, as prepared in our savory soup.

Puréed lily bulb soup　￥1,000
Served from February 2^nd to 13^th

Raised in Unzen city in Nagasaki Prefecture – a place blessed with rich underground water –
Akane pork is known for its light, delicate, and sweet-tasting fat. High-quality Akane boned ribs
are carefully stewed, then roasted in an oven to bring out the aromatic flavor, and finished with
a sweet soy sauce based sauce. The richness of the soft meat, which can be pulled apart
easily with chopsticks, will amount to an experience you will not forget.

Stewed Akane pork belly ￥2,200
Served from February 16^th to 28^th
