The English Guide to Restaurants Using Locally Sourced Ingredients Now Available!

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG), in order to promote local food production and consumption, has officially registered select restaurant locations as “Tokyo’s Locavore Restaurants“ and “Locavore Dining in the Tokyo Islands” (herein referred to as “registered restaurants”). These venues actively utilize farm and marine products cultivated in Tokyo. TMG has published a guidebook to further promote these establishments.
TMG is pleased to announce that, in order to inform international visitors of these appealing local Tokyo foods, TMG has created an English guidebook of some of these registered restaurants. When you have the chance, make sure to try a dish that uses Tokyo’s locally produced ingredients.
