There are numerous benefits to eating locally, including the huge plus of enjoying seasonal, ultra-fresh produce. The Taste of Tokyo event aims to shine a light on this, and it's set to include a variety of food trucks selling dishes using Tokyo-sourced ingredients, fresh Tokyo-grown produce for sale, and areas where attendees can learn more about the prefecture's agriculture, forestry, and fisheries.
