[Garden Restaurant Tokugawaen] Experience 'A Journey Around Japan Through Food' from Hokkaido to Okinawa. Limited-Time Special Course 'Gastronomic tour de Japon' Starts June 19th

Zetton Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Daisuke Kikuchi), a member of the &ST HD Group with the mission 'Play fashion!' and engaged in restaurant and park regeneration businesses, will hold a special course 'Gastronomic tour de Japon - A Journey of Japanese Gourmet' at the Garden Restaurant Tokugawaen in Nagoya's Tokugawaen. Through carefully selected ingredients from across the country, they will offer a limited-time menu that allows guests to 'travel through cuisine' across Japan's rich regional cultures. [Service Period: Friday, June 19, 2026 - Monday, July 20, 2026] Usually, the Garden Restaurant Tokugawaen serves French cuisine featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients from the local Tokai region. However, this limited-time special course was born from a strong desire to 'offer an exciting travel experience that makes you forget your daily life within the restaurant space,' especially during this early summer season when outings and long trips might be more restrained. ■ Traveling through 42 prefectures while in Nagoya. Encounters with 'new deliciousness' not found in everyday life. The selected ingredients include rare items from across Japan never before used at this restaurant, as well as unusual delicacies that guests themselves rarely have the chance to taste. The passionate feelings of the producers infused into each dish are sublimated through French culinary techniques, delivering a 'Journey Around Japan Through Food' filled with surprises and discoveries, as if traveling across the country while staying in Nagoya.

Topped with Tokushima Prefecture's 'Rice Egg,' a rare egg from chickens fed rice, even the yolk is white. When cracked open, the creamy 'white yolk' offers a delightful surprise and new discovery. Mikan-dai sea bream, Awaji Island onion, citrus The star ingredient is 'Mikan-dai,' a brand of genuine sea bream from Ehime Prefecture, fed on local citrus fruits and carrying a faint, refreshing aroma. It is prepared as a pan-seared fillet with crispy skin and moist flesh. Slowly sautéed Awaji Island onions, with their sweetness maximized, are paired with a special sauce blending Ehime citrus and lemon, creating a dish with a pleasant sweetness and refined acidity that spreads the moment it enters your mouth—a refreshing plate perfect for early summer. Rokkaku black pork, Noto vegetables, magnolia leaf This dish uses the rare 'Rokkaku black pork' from Kagoshima Prefecture, named for the six white parts of its body (nose, legs, tail). It is grilled alongside Noto vegetables to enhance its umami. When the dish arrives at the table and the lid is lifted, the rising smoke and rich, aromatic fragrance stimulate the appetite. The abundant scent transports guests to a nostalgic, original Japanese landscape. Other ingredients include fresh sea squirt from Miyazaki Prefecture, umami-packed Hokkaido Ezo deer, and Koshu wine used to deepen the flavors of the dishes. Carefully selected ingredients nurtured by Japan's rich regional climates are present even in the seasonings and sauces. Each bite makes you want to visit that place. Please enjoy these emotionally rich, beautiful dishes to your heart's content, along with the expansive garden view of Tokugawaen spreading out from the windows.
