Japan Gourmet Street to Open at Tokyo Station’s Ichibangai on March 25th

March 22, 2017

A new gourmet restaurant section is to open up at the Ichibangai shopping complex at Tokyo Station’s Yaesu Exit on March 25th. Ichibangai (also called “First Avenue”) is already blessed with many restaurants, cafes and specialist sections such as Tokyo Ramen Street, and the confectionery section Tokyo Okashi Land. The new section is to be called “Nippon Gourmet Kaido” or “Japan Gourmet Street”, and will feature restaurants serving regional specialties from across the Japanese archipelago.

Among the new stores opening on the gourmet street is the first branch in Tokyo of the Hiroshima chain restaurant, Denko-Sekka. Denko-Sekka, which literally means “lightning speed”, specializes in Hiroshima-yaki, the regional variety of Japan’s famous okonomiyaki savory pancakes. The Hiroshima variety is distinctive for having layered rather than mixed ingredients and also for containing noodles.

Denko-Sekka’s signature dish is packed with meat, eggs, squid, cheese and topped with spring onions
