Disney has announced a new Spring menu for Takumi Tei, a signature dining restaurant at Epcot’s Japan Pavilion. The restaurant offers a two-hour dining experience that features an Omakase tasting menu that runs approximately $250.00 plus tax and tip. An additional semi-course meal is available for approximately $150.00 plus tax and tip. Below, we’ll preview the new menu items available this Spring.

First Course: Takumi Tei Spring Menu

The first course starts with the Ichiju Sansai, considered to be a modern beginning to the multi-course meal. It comes with three in-season dishes:

• Sea Bream: Kombu–cured Sakura style accented with edible gold leaf
• Lightly Fried Tofu in Silken White Miso Broth served with Japanese mustard and pickled cherry blossom
• Salmon Roe & Spring Vegetables dressed in white sesame dressing, garnished with silver leaf

Per the menu: We start with ichiju sansai—one soup, two dishes—the foundation of Japanese cuisine. Inspired by the cha-kaiseki ritual of “four bowls,” this course invites you to open each lidded bowl at once and experience the beginning of your meal with all five senses. Seasonal ingredients and careful preparation set the tone for what’s to come.
