About this event
"Local Terrace Niigata" is a market event held at the community hub "&tenna" in Koenji, Tokyo. Shining a spotlight on regional areas across Japan, it introduces the unique foods, cultures, and charms of local people. This edition features Sekikawa Village in Niigata Prefecture, bringing together "Iwafune Rice" cultivated amidst nature surrounded by the clear waters of the Arakawa River and lush mountains, fresh produce like tomatoes and mushrooms, and local sake handpicked by liquor stores in Sekikawa Village. In addition to shopping, activities to experience the rich culture and history of Sekikawa Village are prepared, including an exhibition of genuine "Neko Chigura" (traditional straw cat baskets) that receive a flood of orders from cat lovers nationwide, as well as a quiz rally for parents and children. A limited-quantity "Special Lunch Plate" lavishly made with ingredients from Sekikawa Village will also be served exclusively on this day.
