Dive Into Japan's Culinary Heritage

The Shinagawa Prince Hotel, proudly led by General Manager Shingo Haruyama, is excited to announce the return of its much-anticipated food festival, the 'Shin-Pri Gourmet Journey ~ NIPPON Umami Fair,' running from April 16 to July 15, 2026. This delightful event will be hosted across five of the hotel’s unique dining spots, showcasing the rich tapestry of Japan's food culture.

Connecting Tastes from North to South

With the recent opening of the Fukuoka Prince Hotel Momochihama on March 17, 2026, the Prince Hotel network continues to expand. Each location contributes to a larger narrative—an exploration of Japan's regional cuisines that are steeped in history and local tradition. The festivities at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel aim to encapsulate the essence of these diverse flavors, allowing guests to embark on a culinary journey through the archipelago.

A Celebration of Tradition and Innovation

The 'Shin-Pri Gourmet Journey’ emphasizes the significance of locality in each dish, echoing the whispers of local producers and the stories embedded in traditional recipes. Guests will indulge in meticulously crafted 'local' menus that highlight the flavors that each region has to offer in conjunction with 'arranged' menus, which elevate these traditional dishes with the hotel’s culinary techniques.

Returning after a successful inaugural event, this year promises to further explore the connection between tradition and innovation in Japanese cuisine. The skilled chefs will deliver dishes that embody both the familiar tastes of local favorites and inventive new flavors.

Diverse Dining Options Available

Guests can anticipate an extensive array of options across various restaurants:
1. LUXE DINING HAPUNA - Known for its vibrant buffet style, guests will delight in regional specialties such as Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen from Fukuoka and Kayaku Gohan from Osaka, alongside arranged dishes like the crab soup with Hakodate kelp broth from Hokkaido.
2. Chinese Cuisine at Shinagawa Daiten - Featuring the aromatic Bamboo Chicken with Black Sesame from Aichi and a spicy Mala Soup, this restaurant aims to blend traditional flavors with regional specialties.
