Message from the President

Higashikanda, Tokyo is a place where delicious food from all over the country comes together.

We want to create a place where anyone can casually enjoy the flavors of famous restaurants.
With this idea in mind, Sosou Higashikanda was born.

Renowned chefs from the region will gather in Higashi-Kanda, Tokyo, to explore the charms of areas that are usually hard to visit.
You can experience it through the food.
"It's hard to go with kids" "It's too far away to make the journey" -- we respond to such concerns and connect customers with famous local restaurants
We aim to create a new form of food.

It took about three years from conception to realization.
Since its launch in November 2024, a total of 48 chefs have been welcomed, bringing the membership to 128.
The number of business days per month varies from the 6th to the 23rd, but we operate through trial and error with our 18 co-owners.

Sosou Higashikanda is also used as a place for chefs to take on new challenges.
"We are currently renovating, so we will be open as So" and "We want to deliver our food to customers in Tokyo" -- in response to such requests,
We host a variety of different styles of events.

From here, we bring delicious food from all over Japan closer to you.
And if this becomes an opportunity for you to think, "Next time, I want to try a local store,"
There is nothing more satisfying than this.
We hope to continue to develop Sosou Higashikanda as a place where various encounters can take place.
Please come and visit us.
