Enjoy Festive Dining with a Unique Sharing Experience in EkiCate

A Unique Dining Experience at EkiCate Edition: 'Choi to Koi ni Wakeaeba'

Amidst the bustling city of Tokyo, two premier locations—EkiCate Edition Yurakucho and Shinbashi—are about to become the heart of festive celebrations with an exclusive dining fair called ‘Choi to Koi ni Wakeaeba’, running from December 5 to December 26. This special fair is uniquely inspired by the classic Rakugo tale, ‘Sanpo Ichiryōson’, which emphasizes the joy of sharing and harmony.

As we dive deeper into the spirit of the holidays, this fair aims to provide a diverse array of delightful menus designed for sharing with colleagues and friends. Each dish promises a warm heart and a delightful palate, encouraging guests to indulge in an array of offer such as exquisitely paired appetizers and main dishes tailored for festive gatherings.

The Spirit of Sharing: Inspiration from Rakugo

The venue, EkiCate Edition Yurakucho, has a historical essence as it is located in a square that once housed renowned Edo period bureaucrat Tadasuke Ōoka. This area is steeped in the stories and legacies of old, where ‘Sanpo Ichiryōson’ became a celebrated tale. In this story, two individuals, who find a lost sum of money, relinquish their claims in a scenario of mutual generosity, with Ōoka's clever resolution ensuring that everyone walks away satisfied. This embodies the fair's philosophy of joyful sharing.

This timeless lesson is brought to life at the fair, where every dish represents delicious culinary creativity, specifically aimed at sharing joy with others.
