Disney4me Posted July 15, 2021 Report Posted July 15, 2021 You know that we’re total foodies (it’s in our name)! So, that’s why the 2021 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has already been a blast for us as we make our way around the World Showcase! Food and Wine time! We’ve already done a LOT today as we’ve visited the Canada, Hawai’i, and Mexico Booths. But, there are still more food booths to visit, and we’re bringing you with us along the way! There are SO many new items at EPCOT’s Japan booth that we are just going to dive right on into our review! (Yes, that means we’re hungry look at all the eats available to guests!) Menu Japan is always a highlight of the Festival for us! Headed to the Japan booth! #TasteEPCOT pic.twitter.com/N4IapxE6m8 — AJ Wolfe (@DisneyFoodBlog) July 15, 2021 We’ve tried some truly unique dishes here in the past, like that Frothy Ramen at last year’s Food and Wine Festival. Japan While you won’t find any Frothy Ramen on the menu this year, you WILL find a variety of brand-new festival items to eat and drink. Japan Menu Let’s waste no time and dive right in! Eats The only returning item on the Japan booth’s menu this year is the Teriyaki Chicken Bun, which is a Steamed Bun filled with Chicken, Vegetables, and Teriyaki Sauce. Teriyaki Chicken Bun Don’t worry — there was plenty of stock for everyone who wants a Teriyaki Chicken Bun! So many delicious Teriyaki Chicken Buns from Japan! pic.twitter.com/xvvg7M3zx7 — AJ Wolfe (@DisneyFoodBlog) July 15, 2021 This bun was delicious! The Teriyaki Chicken itself was sweet, but we didn’t have as much of it inside the bun as we thought there would be — the bun itself is pretty rich and carb heavy, however, so it was filling nonetheless! Breaking into the Teriyaki Chicken Bun from Japan! #TasteEPCOT pic.twitter.com/nChPLd1N1l — AJ Wolfe (@DisneyFoodBlog) July 15, 2021 This could be a big hit with any kids you bring to the festival this year. Chicken Teriyaki Bun We’re glad to see it return this year for $6.50! But, we know you’re here for all the details about the NEW items! (Why wouldn’t you be?) First up, we tried the Tempura Shrimp Sando that comes with Crunchy Shrimp served with Yuzu Crab, Green Onions, and Eel Sauce served on a Bun. Tempura Shrimp Sando We get it…it looks like a shrimp hot dog, but this is a really fun dish! We picked up on some citrus-y flavors, with the crab coming in more as an aftertaste.

It’s definitely one of the more unique dishes in the festival, which is totally fitting for Japan! Tempura Shrimp Sando If you’re curious, the Tempura Shrimp Sando is available for $6.75. Finally, you can snack on the Spicy Hako Sushi that’s wrapped up with Spicy Tuna and Salmon served Box-style with Red Tempura Crunch and Volcano Sauce. Spicy Hako Sushi The Sushi is very, very yummy and we’re a big fan! New at the Japan booth is the Spicy Hako Sushi: Spicy Tuna and Salmon served Box-style with Red Tempura Crunch and Volcano Sauce! #TasteEPCOT pic.twitter.com/Xp8j6T2pKW — AJ Wolfe (@DisneyFoodBlog) July 15, 2021 It’s got a little kick to it which we really enjoyed, but if you aren’t a sushi lover then clearly this won’t be the dish for you. Spicy Hako Sushi You can try out the Spicy Hako Sushi for $6.50! Drinks Each one of the sips on the menu at the Japan booth this year are NEW, which has had us so hyped to head that way all day. Guests can go for something sweeter with the Kochi Lemon Drop mixed with Vodka, Yuzu, and Lemon Juice and garnished with a Lemon Jelly, available for $8.00. If you’re looking for something more classic, the Ozeki Platinum Sake: Junmai Daiginjo is dry with a fruity flavor and available for $7.50. And, last (but certainly not least), the Ivanhoe Park Brewing Company Urayasu Rice Lager, Orlando, FL is also available on the menu. Ivanhoe Park Brewing Company Urayasu Rice Lager We’ve tried several beers at the festival today, and this one might actually rank closer to the BOTTOM of our beer list for the Food and Wine Festival. It was okay, but nothing special. We found it to be oddly dry in a sort of bizarre way, and it wasn’t as refreshing as some of the other beers we had today (like the Collective Arts Audio/Visual Lager at the Canada Booth!). Ivanhoe Park Brewing Company Urayasu Rice Lager The Lager is available in a 6oz pour or a 12oz pour for $5 and $9.50, respectively. Overall If you’re feeling a little more adventurous on your trip around the Food and Wine Festival, definitely make it a point to visit the Japan Booth! If you’re traveling with more picky eaters, there’s always those tasty and crowd-pleasing Chicken Teriyaki Buns. This was one of the more popular booths we experienced today with longer wait times, so pack your patience before hopping in line!
