From Monday, April 7 through Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Kichijoji Tokyu REI Hotel will hold “Shizuoka Journey — Flavors of Spring” at its Inokashira Kichijo Dining restaurant.
The plan also offers wines from Nakaizu Winery.
Here are the details.
About “Shizuoka Journey — Flavors of Spring”
“Shizuoka Journey — Flavors of Spring” is the third installment of the “Shizuoka Journey” series, which began because Inokashira Kichijo Dining chef Toru Katanosaka is from Shizuoka.
Once again, the restaurant will make extensive use of local ingredients and offer two different courses during the first and second halves of the promotion.
Enjoy Nakaizu Winery Wines
“Shizuoka Journey — Flavors of Spring” features seasonal vegetables carefully grown across Shizuoka, seafood delivered directly from long-established fishmonger Watanabe Suisan in Shimoda, and wines from Nakaizu Winery.
A featured fish dish in the first half, April 7–18, is “Kinmedai and Vegetable Cotriade-Style, with Golden-Eye Snapper Delivered Direct from Watanabe Suisan, Izu Shimoda.”
The beef loin dishes are paired with sauces made using Nakaizu Winery red wine in the first half and white wine in the second half, with each wine’s depth of flavor said to enhance the savory character of the meat.
Enjoy a taste of Shizuoka available only here.
