Experience the Flavors of Kyushu with PARIYA DELICATESSEN

PARIYA DELICATESSEN, a beloved name in Japanese delicatessens since 1996, is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a special two-week event titled "LIFE IN KYUSHU." Beginning on June 2 and running until June 14, this exclusive collaboration with &LOCALS promises to showcase the regional richness of Kyushu through a variety of unique dishes made with locally sourced ingredients and seasonings.

Celebrating 30 Years: The Journey Continues

Since its inception, PARIYA has been dedicated to elevating the dining experience by offering creatively arranged menu items that highlight the quality of ingredients sourced from across Japan. The first installment of the anniversary event, dubbed "The Journey," took place earlier this year, and the launch of this second phase reaffirms PARIYA's commitment to showcasing private culinary experiences. With &LOCALS, which operates in Fukuoka and focuses on bridging the gap between local production and everyday dining, PARIYA aims to bring the essence of Kyushu to the table.

&LOCALS: Connecting Tradition and Modern Dining

&LOCALS is pivotal in promoting local food and culture in Fukuoka. Their principle focuses on redefining local consumption by melding the agricultural practices of the area with the experience of the everyday dining table. By highlighting the work of local producers, &LOCALS and PARIYA ensure a menu that not only pleases the palate but also retains the stories and traditions behind each ingredient.

What to Expect: A Delicious Lineup of Dishes

During this two-week period, PARIYA will offer various dishes featuring ingredients from Kyushu. Here are some highlights of the menu:

1. Braised Pork Belly with Yame Hojicha Tea (Ushijima Tea)

This dish features tender braised pork belly infused with the rich, roasted flavor of Yame hojicha tea from Fukuoka. The delicate roasting of the hojicha enhances the pork's umami, creating a delightful balance of flavor and a refreshing finish that is perfect for any meal.

2. Walnut and Seasonal Vegetable Salad with Wakamiya Rice Miso Dressing (Akitaka Shoten)
