Co-Tori 2014

Tottori in the west is Japan's least populated prefecture, and its natural beauty is well appreciated. Us busy city-dwellers can now get a taste of this pearl of the Chugoku region right here in Tokyo at this 10-day event, which introduces us to Tottori highlights like crafts, food, and drinks. Centring on Nakameguro's SML, Tottori Craft exhibits pottery, steel crafts, cloth and paper from the region. The Co-Tori 2014 opening event 'Co-Tori Sakaba by Minokamo' sees chef Akiko Nagao serve up local delicacies, while bar-hoppers should aim for March 4 and 5, when the 'Co-Tori Bal' event sees eight area restaurants team up to serve Tottori-made beer, sake, and wine. Pick up one ¥500 ticket and get a free drink with every eligible food order at each participating location. Check the official website for further details, including a list of participating restaurants.
