Isetan Shinjuku ties its autumn Italian food fair to 160 years of Japan-Italy ties
Isetan Shinjuku's autumn Italia Ten food fair, running 16-22 September, brings a Michelin-recognised Milan restaurant to Japan for a limited run — this year's edition reframed around the 160th anniversary of Japan-Italy diplomatic relations, the kind of high-margin event-floor programming that keeps a flagship department store's calendar worth a return visit.
Isetan Shinjuku's autumn Italian food fair, Italia Ten 2026, opened on 16 September and runs through 22 September on the Main Building's sixth-floor event space, Mitsukoshi Isetan Holdings said. This year's edition is themed "Legacy," tied to UNESCO's recognition of Italian food culture as intangible cultural heritage and to the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Italy.
