This month Hakata Hankyu showcases some of the best food and drink that the Tohoku region has to offer. A total of 45 eateries will be serving delicious dishes from Akita, Aomori, Fukushima, Iwate, Miyagi and Yamagata prefectures. Drop by the onigiri bar and sample different onigiri from the six prefectures, or enjoy high quality Tohoku sake and beer paired with snacks at the “choinomi” drinking area. There’s also an eat-in corner where visitors can enjoy Yamagata ramen with chashu and shrimp dumplings. Another must-try is the fruits-filled parfait, also from Yamagata.
