Nen Global Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Representative: Ta Viet Phong) will hold a limited-time collaboration event, 'Sanwa Shurui Co., Ltd. x Nén Tokyo', with Oita-based Sanwa Shurui Co., Ltd., from Sunday, April 26 to Saturday, May 9, 2026.
Using strictly selected seasonal ingredients delivered directly from Oita Prefecture, the conceptual 'Sto:ry Menu'—also served at the main restaurant in Vietnam—is specially reconstructed. Alongside pairings with Sanwa Shurui's proud 'Iichiko', 'Ajimu Wine', and 'Wako Botan', it delivers a new culinary dialogue between Vietnam and Japan.
■ Background: An Homage to the Chef's Roots, Oita Prefecture
This initiative holds an extremely special meaning for the Nén team. Including Chef Summer Le, many of the core members are graduates of Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU) in Oita Prefecture, making Oita a place that can be called the 'origin' that shaped their sensibilities.
Driven by the desire to express the flavors of the land that supported their journey right in the heart of Tokyo, a one-of-a-kind dining experience crossing Vietnamese gastronomy with Oita's rich terroir has been realized.
■ Experience Highlights
'Sto:ry Menu' spelled out with ingredients from Oita Prefecture: Reconstructing strictly selected seasonal ingredients arriving from Oita Prefecture, such as 'Oita Wagyu' and Kabosu, using Nén's unique narrative methods. It is served as a special edition of the 'Sto:ry Menu', which changes themes every run.
Special Pairings by Sanwa Shurui Co., Ltd.: Masterpieces proudly offered by Sanwa Shurui, such as the authentic shochu 'Iichiko', 'Ajimu Wine', and 'Wako Botan', are carefully selected to match the cuisine.
Memorable Presentations: During the period, a photo booth will be set up inside the restaurant, and a special gift will be prepared for everyone who visits.
