Experience the Flavors of Nagano and Toyama at Hotel Metropolitan

Hotel Metropolitan, located in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, is excited to announce the launch of its special fair, "Delicious Japanese Cuisine – Nagano and Toyama Fair". This event will take place at the Shunsou Restaurant from October 13 to November 28, 2026. This culinary experience focuses on highlighting the rich flavors and diversity of ingredients originating from the beautiful mountainous region of Nagano and the bountiful waters of Toyama Bay.

Nagano is known for its varied climate produced by significant elevation differences, which nourishes a plethora of agricultural produce. Products such as Shinshu salmon, mushrooms, Shinshu Fukumi chicken, Azumino Genki pork, and Toyama Wagyu beef are just a few of the standout ingredients available during this fair. These will be masterfully cooked using charcoal grilling and teppanyaki techniques to enhance their natural flavors.
