Setouchi Gourmet Festival

The Setouchi region in Japan is not only renowned for its stunning natural scenery but also its incredible cuisine. With an abundance of fresh seafood sourced from the Seto Inland Sea, the area is famous for its seafood delicacies, including oysters, sea bream, and squid, among others. But the culinary delights in this region don’t end there, and there’s much more to discover.

One such event that showcases the gourmet delights of Setouchi is the Setouchi Gourmet Festival, which takes place at Ueno Park. This festival is a celebration of the unique and delicious cuisine found in the region. From kawara soba, a dish from Yamaguchi, to Kobe bokkake, a delicacy from Hyogo, visitors can try a variety of regional dishes in the heart of Tokyo.

The entry to the event is free, but visitors should bring yen if they plan on sampling the food. It’s a great opportunity to discover the culinary treasures of Setouchi without leaving Tokyo.
