Mie Prefecture's metropolitan area sales base "Mie Terrace" opens ♪

Mie Prefecture's metropolitan area sales office "Mie Terrace" will open in Nihonbashi, Tokyo on September 28th! I recently covered Mie Terrace at a preview.

Mie Terrace is ``a place of hospitality where you can experience the culture of Mie Prefecture'', ``a place that provides opportunities and preparations for your trip to Mie Prefecture'', ``a place that evokes empathy for Mie Prefecture and creates fans of Mie Prefecture''. It is a complex facility based on the concept of ``a place that Mie Prefecture residents and natives can use as their own.''

Even in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, it's right next to the famous department store Mitsukoshi! It is a short walk from Mie Terrace on the left of the photo to Mitsukoshi on the right.
Access is very convenient as it is directly connected to Mitsukoshimae Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line and Hanzomon Line. It was about a 15 minute walk from the Yaesu exit of Tokyo Station.

The multipurpose hall on the second floor was crowded with many interested parties who had been invited to the preview. The Vice Governor gave a speech and the staff were introduced.

This multipurpose hall will host special exhibitions commemorating the Jingu ShikinenSengu, as well as participatory events such as tasting Mie's local sake and seasonal ingredients. We will be holding events sponsored by Mie Prefecture's cities, towns and commercial organizations to introduce the various charms of Mie Prefecture, including its rich nature, history, culture, and food.

This is the shop on the first floor. Approximately 1,000 products cultivated in Mie's rich nature and history, based on the principles of "authenticity," "quality," and "value." will be sold. They even had products that are hard to buy even in Mie Prefecture.

Not only the products but also the interior is made with particular attention to Mie Prefecture, such as using Kumiko made in Mie Prefecture as part of the lighting equipment.

The displays inside the store are also quite elaborate. Products are arranged by theme, making it very easy to see.

The photo shows Yokkaichi Banko-Yaki, and the brightly colored Banko-Yaki is lined up. Iga-Yaki was also beautifully displayed.

Mie is a delicious country, so of course there is a lot of food! There will be many products on display, from Ise-Udon, agricultural products, drinks, Mie sake to branded beef such as Matsusaka beef and Iga beef.

Ise-Udon pictured in the photo comes in over 10 varieties. Even within Mie Prefecture, it is hard to find such a wide selection of products.

This is the restaurant on the first floor. We offer menus using seasonal ingredients from Mie Prefecture! The menu was supervised by Chef Shinichi Sato of Minami Aoyama's Italian restaurant ``Il Desiderio.'' We offer an Italian-style menu that takes advantage of the quality of the ingredients.

Lunch, cafe, and dinner menus are provided. We use Mie Prefecture's proud ingredients such as oysters from HigashiKishu, deer from Iga, clams from Kuwana, and Matsusaka beef!

Scheduled to open at 3pm on Saturday, September 28, 2013.
We will be open every day except for the year-end and New Year holidays. The shop is open from 10:00 to 20:00, and the restaurant is from 11:00 to 23:00 (last order at 22:30).

“Mie Terrace” is a place we can confidently recommend to people in Tokyo! Everyone please come and visit us. Please check our Facebook page for the latest information.
