Dive into the Summer Gourmet Festival at San Daime Torimero

Starting July 22, 2026, San Daime Torimero will kick off its exclusive Summer Gourmet Festival. This event promises a delightful selection of seasonal dishes offered at 98 locations nationwide. The star of the show is Tokushima Prefecture's prized "Suda Chub" combined with summer vegetables like okra and shiso.

Taste the Freshness: Tokushima's Suda Chub

The heart of this festival is the exquisite "Suda Chub"—a specially raised fish from the whirlpools of the Naruto Strait in Tokushima. Known for its unique feeding method that incorporates the peel of the sudachi citrus, this fish boasts a light, clean aftertaste and fine meat quality that sets it apart from typical farmed fish. Diners can enjoy it in multiple preparations:

• - Suda Chub Sashimi: 699 yen (tax included 768 yen)
• - Suda Chub Tataki: Grilled with herbs and served with ponzu, 699 yen (tax included 768 yen)
• - Suda Chub Fried Skewers: A delicious twist on a classic, 299 yen (tax included 328 yen)

Refreshing Summer Vegetables

In addition to the notable fish, the festival also celebrates the vibrant flavors of summer vegetables. One standout dish is the Chilled Summer Vegetables served with a special spicy meat miso made from organically grown burdock sourced from Watami Farms. The combination of gochujang and the earthy flavors of the burdock creates the perfect summer dish for your palate. Another must-try is the Okra with Steamed Chicken: the tender okra combines harmoniously with chicken and shiso, providing a refreshing option in the heat.

• - Chilled Summer Vegetables: 399 yen (tax included 438 yen)
• - Okra with Steamed Chicken: 350 yen (tax included 385 yen)
