This Weekend: Enjoy Lobster Rolls at a Food Event



Maine is the primary lobster-producing region in America, and its signature dish, the "LOBSTER ROLL," is rarely available in Japan. On November 10th (Saturday) and 11th (Sunday), from 11 AM to 5 PM, a food event called "FOOD event 'LOBSTER PICNIC'" will be held, offering the chance to savor plump lobster rolls – a delicacy originating from New England, generously served in buns.

During the "LOBSTER PICNIC" event, customers purchasing picnic baskets from "PETERBORO BASKET," jars from "KILNER," or event stools from "DECKCHAIRSTRIPES" can also receive the paid CUSTOM HAND PAINTING SERVICE, where letters and lines are hand-painted in a design of their choice.

Furthermore, "LIMITED SPECIAL ITEM" pieces, featuring "PETERBORO BASKET" hand-painted with the unique sensibilities of 11 artists active in various fields, are also on display and available for purchase. These one-of-a-kind special art pieces are also worth noting.
