FOOD NIPPON 2013 Autumn

Japanese cuisine is rich in a variety of ingredients from the sea and mountains. Local dishes strongly reflect the history of the area. Based on its unique climate and natural features, each local cuisine is like a treasure box filled with the knowledge and wisdom of our ancestors.

At each event in the series, FOOD NIPPON will focus on one prefecture or region and introduce its unique ingredients, sake and tableware in our special course menu. FOOD NIPPON aims to help diners in Tokyo rediscover Japanese food culture.

The area featured in the third event this September is Morioka-shi in Iwate Prefecture. The northern part of Iwate Prefecture, including Morioka-shi, is famous for its diverse "grain culture." This area boasts the greatest varieties of foods derived from grains such as soba and cold noodles, hittsumi-dumplings, and shitogi-rice cakes. We will serve these unique local delicacies in the HIGASHI-YAMA Tokyo style.

We hope you will enjoy the elegant simplicity of the foods from the Tohoku region in northeastern Japan, where harsh natural conditions have imbued the ingredients with true flavor. We are looking forward to your visit.

Suggested pairing for FOOD NIPPON Autumn Special Dinner Course….

Sake production in Morioka-shi, Iwate Prefecture, began roughly 400 years ago.
It is said that a powerful purveyor introduced the brewing techniques. During the long winters,
farmers would moonlight as brewery assistants when they could not work their fields.
The master brewers from this area are called "Nanbu touji," and are recognized
as one of the best three brewing guilds, along with the Echigo and Tajima brewers.

During this event, we will serve a selection of sake from three local producers,
as well as a special local wine made from local grapes.
We hope you to enjoy these special sake with our autumn dishes.

Sake / Glass ￥600〜、180ml￥1,000〜
Wine / Glass ￥700〜
Served from the 2nd to the 14th September
