Diamond Head Co., Ltd./Blue Marble, organizers of the creation festival "NEW ENERGY," will hold their first urban event at Tokyu Plaza Ginza for three days from November 22nd to 24th, where people can "eat, drink, and buy" carefully selected luxury items, from food, art, tableware, and miscellaneous goods (free admission).
"Shikohinten" is a market event with the theme of "A reward market of food and culture presented just for us," where you can meet producers and experience new food cultures while savoring the taste of alcohol, beverages, and food from all over Japan.
[Purpose of the event]
Rather than simply purchasing products, participants will have the opportunity to taste the products while enjoying conversation with producers and visitors, providing an opportunity for each participant to deepen and broaden their own tastes.

In the market area, producers and brands that have carefully selected unique handicrafts and stories from Japan and abroad, such as "tea and medicinal foods," "tableware," and "Japanese festivals," will gather to directly introduce the appeal of each product.
Please come and experience the world of "culinary and cultural experiences" that is unique to this event.
