The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has launched the website “GO TOKYO Gourmet” to showcase Tokyo’s diverse food attractions in Japan and overseas.
The “GO TOKYO Gourmet” website features articles and videos introducing Tokyo’s food offerings and the depth of its food culture. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government hopes the site will deepen interest in Tokyo’s food and encourage visitors to travel to the Japanese capital and experience its cuisine.
Tokyo’s culinary offerings range from traditional dishes passed down since the Edo period, including sushi and tempura, to cuisine from around the world. The site also introduces locally sourced ingredients rooted in Tokyo’s natural environment and restaurants where chefs from Japan and abroad showcase their skills.
In addition to gourmet information, the website highlights Tokyo’s food culture, including its history and traditions dating back to the Edo period, its evolution to the present day, the ideas and ingenuity of food professionals, the everyday meals of Tokyo residents, and perspectives on the future of Tokyo’s food, including sustainability and diversity.
The site also provides information on how to eat Japanese food, Japanese services and manners, food-related events in Tokyo, and websites for making restaurant reservations in the capital, including services that accommodate vegan and halal options.
