Collaboration with Food Creators and Connoisseurs! Limited-Time Menus Featuring Brand Beef and Natural Bluefin Tuna Appear at "Tora Yoko Festival 2026 ~ Returning 'Thank You' with 'Deliciousness'! ~"

Mori Building Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO Shingo Tsuji) will host the 6th-anniversary event for "Toranomon Yokocho" (3rd floor, Toranomon Hills Business Tower) at "Toranomon Hills" for two days, June 12 (Friday) and 13 (Saturday), 2026. The event is titled "Tora Yoko Festival 2026 ~ Returning 'Thank You' with 'Deliciousness'! ~".

Toranomon Yokocho was created to offer a "street within the city," allowing visitors to enjoy the collective individuality of Toranomon Yokocho as a whole, rather than just individual shops. For six years, we have cherished passion, fostering connections between people, between people and shops, and between people and the city. On this occasion, we aim to deepen relationships with those who have been involved, expand new connections and ties, and build the yokocho of the future. With this sentiment and daily gratitude, we are holding "Tora Yoko Festival 2026." On the day of the event, all 25 stores in Toranomon Yokocho will develop various contents to "return" their gratitude under the slogan "Let's return 'thank you' with 'deliciousness'!". The theme emphasizes the presence of producers before chefs, facing the life of ingredients, and "returning" all gratitude.

On the day, under the concept of "Returning with Cuisine," special menus using carefully selected ingredients by connoisseurs and limited-time dishes utilizing each store's unique ingredients and cooking methods will be offered. Additionally, under the concept of "Returning with Sake," breweries from various regions will gather at a POPUP restaurant, offering special sake and appetizers, and providing pairing menus in collaboration with each store within the yokocho. Furthermore, under the concept of "Returning with Experience," an experiential booth called "Doyo Tora Yoko Market" will be held exclusively for the Tora Yoko Festival, where people can meet like at a well, offering original goods sales, caricature workshops, and custom seasoning blends. Members of Toranomon Yokocho, as well as the creators and connoisseurs who have helped nurture the yokocho, and customers, will all celebrate the 6th anniversary together.

Under Toranomon Yokocho's concept of "Shops where you want to meet people, delicious streets where new things are born," please enjoy this two-day food festival that connects to the future of Toranomon Yokocho.

In addition to offering special anniversary menus available only on these days from all 25 stores, food creators such as producers and chefs associated with Toranomon Yokocho, and connoisseurs highly trusted by chefs nationwide, will gather. Professionals from various genres will collaborate with unique stores to offer limited menus that can only be tasted on this day, in this place.

"Sakaeya," trusted by top chefs nationwide, brings "a whole cow!" to Toranomon Yokocho. Yoshinobu Shimbo developed limited menus that maximize the flavor of meat "treated" by him.

Since its establishment in 1988, 'Sakaeya,' a specialty meat processing and wholesale store in Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture, has adhered to its unique philosophy of meat "treatment." The carefully selected producers' meats, such as "Omi Beef" and Hokkaido's "Jibeef" handled by representative Yoshinobu Shimbo, and rare "Ainoh Natural Pork," are aged and sublimated, earning immense trust from top chefs nationwide.

At the Tora Yoko Festival, renowned restaurants across various genres, including Japanese, Chinese, and Italian, will develop and offer limited Tora Yoko Festival menus that maximize the flavor of the meat infused with life by Mr. Shimbo for the "Tora Yoko Festival," which can only be encountered here.

"Fujita Suisan," the legend of Toyosu, brings "a whole natural bluefin tuna!" Renowned stores in Toranomon Yokocho will offer it as a special menu.

"Fujita Suisan" is a wholesale dealer at Toyosu Market specializing in "premium natural bluefin tuna," known for its commitment to deliciousness, led by Hiroki Fujita, a highly trusted intermediary.

The "premium natural bluefin tuna," which can normally only be enjoyed in limited settings, will be incorporated into menus by each store with creative approaches.
