Travelling may not be on the cards any time soon, but you can transport yourself to Miyagi prefecture in northern Japan with this special event at the tea house inside Riviera Tokyo. From March 1 to April 30, you can fill up on a multicourse meal with ingredients sourced from the prefecture known as the ‘kingdom of ingredients’ for its ample seasonal produce.
Dishes can vary depending on the week, but some notable ones include grilled swordfish from Kesennuma, rich and creamy pacific oysters, premium rice like Date Masuyume and Kin no Ibuki, and even rare foods like fukinoto (butterbur sprout) miso. Lunch is offered from ¥3,520 while dinner starts at ¥5,500. There will also be a small shop where you’ll find packaged and dried native Miyazaki products like sparkling wine, cider and even beef tongue stew for you to take home.
