【MOSHI MOSHI Pick-up spot】The seaweeds fair of Futtsu city (Chiba prefecture Futtsu city) Taste the in-season seaweeds in Tokyo bay
Futtsu city, Chiba prefecture is known as the place of production of Edo-mae seaweeds. Especially the paste seaweed that contains substantial vitamins, iron, and anthocyanin is only available during winter here. This is considered to be a very flavorful healthy food. This used to be one of the seasonal foods which you could get anywhere around the Tokyo bay before the landfill, but it is very hard to get this nowadays. They are going to hold “Seaweeds Fair” to recall the taste of the past as one of the three biggest food events in Futtsu city.
This event puts importance on serving the made-in Futtsu sprout seaweeds that are the first to be harvested this year. This is very rare to taste even for locals. Some stores which participated in this event are going to sell cuisine which uses this sprout seaweed. It is common to eat this seaweed with vinegar or in miso soup, but they are going to cook varieties of food. You can taste many different types of food which has a lot of this seaweed such as seaweed omelet, ramen and soba noodle.
The stores raising a blue flag are serving this seaweed. Please check this out, and enjoy the taste of winter in Futtsu.

A story-based digital GPS rally inspired by Chainsaw Man will be held within Tokyo’s subway system from November 1 until November 28. Fans of the anime series won’t want to miss it! Participants will be tasked with one vital mission: to find five senior devil hunters who are currently undercover at subway stations around the city. Participants will download an app from the special website and follow the instructions within to find stamp locations at stations throughout Tokyo. When they reach the designated location, they’ll find a special poster, and they’ll just need to press a button in the app to earn a stamp. By collecting stamps in all six locations, fans will receive a unique key visual which can only be obtained through this event.
Pop-Up Shop
During the event period, fans will also find a limited-time pop-up shop inside Ikebukuro Sunshine City. Original collaboration items will be on sale, and a game will be set up with winners able to walk away with unique prizes. From November 1 to November 20, admission to the shop will be by advance reservation only on a first-come, first-served basis to reduce crowding.
