Futako-Tamagawa Rice

How about some dried kombu, pickled fish entrails or 'edible olive oil' with your bowl of rice? All these and many other flavours from all over Japan can be sampled at this punny gourmand get-together playing on the name of the Futako-Tamagawa shopping centre that serves as the venue. Buy a miniature portion of rice (¥100) and top it with all the free samples you like – this one looks well worth attending for cheapskates in search of new culinary experiences.
